El Grande Americano returned to television during Saturday’s AAA broadcast, only to be laid out by a new Perros del Mal faction.
Elsewhere on the show, Rey Fenix successfully defended his AAA World Cruiserweight Championship in a three-way match.

El Grande Americano returns
El Grande Americano (Ludwig Kaiser) made his first AAA appearance since defeating Chad Gable in the Mask vs. Mask match at Noche de los Grandes. He celebrated with the crowd and thanked his supporters, specifically mentioning Pimpinela Escarlata and his girlfriend, Andrea Bazarte.
In the main event segment, Americano then declared his intention to challenge for the AAA Mega Championship. His promo was interrupted by the arrival of Karmen Petrovic. This provided a distraction that allowed four men to surround the ring and attack him.
The assailants revealed themselves as Angel, Berto, Bronco Nima, and Daga. The group wore shirts bearing the name “Perros Del Mal” (Dogs of Evil), reviving the classic AAA faction. They stood tall over the beaten Americano as the show concluded.

Cruiserweight title defense
Rey Fenix put his AAA World Cruiserweight Championship on the line in a triple threat match against Laredo Kid and Lince Dorado. Fenix had recently captured the title from Laredo Kid, while Dorado earned his spot by winning a number one contender’s match.
The fast-paced encounter saw all three competitors trade control. Laredo Kid hit double Destroyer DDTs for a near-fall on both opponents. Dorado later executed a superrana on Fenix but was subsequently driven through the announcer’s desk by Laredo Kid.
Fenix ultimately secured the victory by blocking a frog splash and executing a Mexican Muscle Buster on Laredo Kid to retain the championship.
