AAA Noches de Los Grandes Week 2, held on June 6, 2026, featured a high-profile appearance by WWE’s Bayley and a significant managerial announcement from Rey Mysterio. The event included a decisive #1 contender match for the AAA Cruiserweight Championship and set the stage for upcoming developments surrounding the Triplemania event in Las Vegas and Mexico City.
The second installment of the Noches de Los Grandes series continued the momentum established during the previous week’s mask versus mask match. This week’s programming focused heavily on inter-promotional talent and the shifting power dynamics within the AAA roster, particularly with the introduction of new leadership.
Rey Mysterio Takes Command as AAA General Manager
A central focus of the June 6 broadcast was the role of Rey Mysterio, who has stepped into the position of new General Manager for AAA. Speaking from Monterrey, Mexico, Mysterio participated in an interview to address the AAA Lucha Libre landscape.
While the specific details of his announcement were centered on the promotion’s direction, industry observers are closely watching for connections to Triplemania. As tickets have officially gone on sale for the upcoming two-night Triplemania event, Mysterio’s address is expected to influence the match card for the shows scheduled in both Las Vegas and Mexico City.
Bayley and the Trios Match Complexity
The event highlighted the international reach of the promotion by featuring WWE star Bayley. In a trios match, Bayley teamed with La Catalina and NXT’s Lola Vice to take on the Las Toxicas faction.
Beyond the immediate results of the match, the bout served to advance a specific storyline involving La Catalina. Following the match, attention remains on Catalina’s potential trajectory toward a title shot against Lady Flammer for the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship. The inclusion of talent from both WWE and NXT underscores the current collaborative atmosphere surrounding these Noches de Los Grandes events.
The Race for the AAA Cruiserweight Championship
The cruiserweight division saw intense competition as athletes fought for a chance to challenge the current champion, Fenix. Fenix recently secured the AAA Cruiserweight Championship by defeating Laredo Kid, and the search for his next opponent was a primary draw for the June 6 program.
The #1 contender was determined through a Fatal 5-Way match featuring the following competitors:
- Mini Vikingo
- Octagón Jr.
- Joaquin Wilde
- Cruz Del Toro
- Lince Dorado
Among the participants, Lince Dorado has been noted for a significant winning streak, making him a key figure to watch as the championship picture evolves.
