Dorian Roldán has been appointed interim general manager of AAA after Rey Mysterio denied allegations of an affair with Roldán’s mother, Marisela Peña.

The development came during the November 14 edition of AAA on FOX, broadcast live from the Gimnasio Olímpico Juan de la Barrera in Mexico City.

Rey Mysterio confronts Dorian Roldán

Roldán opened the show to loud boos and said his mother had decided not to attend. He repeated his accusations against Mysterio, claiming that his administration had created unsafe working conditions and that he had abused his authority.

The confrontation followed last week’s suspension, when Roldán interrupted Peña’s AAA Hall of Fame induction to accuse Mysterio of having an extramarital relationship with her.

Mysterio came to the ring and said he wanted to attack Roldán but had more important matters to address. He defended his decisions as general manager and categorically denied the affair, accusing Roldán of lying and disrespecting his own mother.

He also confirmed that he would captain Team Mexico against Cody Rhodes’ team at WWE Survivor Series, regardless of his status with AAA.

Roldán then announced that AAA’s board of directors had appointed him interim general manager while the investigation into Mysterio continued.

His first official act was to order security to remove Mysterio from the building. Mysterio attempted to confront Roldán again but was restrained and escorted away.

Later, during a brief backstage press conference, Roldán was asked to produce evidence of the alleged affair. He offered none, saying the investigation remained ongoing.

Jack Cartwheel advances in Rey Fenix tournament

AAA also launched the Rey Fenix World Cruiserweight Tournament, which will determine the champion’s first challenger of 2027.

The tournament features 12 wrestlers competing in four triple threat qualifying matches. The four winners will advance to a four-way final at Guerra de Titanes in Guadalajara on December 19, with the eventual winner challenging Fenix in Acapulco on January 2.

Fenix has opened the competition to wrestlers from AAA, WWE’s Raw, SmackDown and NXT rosters, as well as other promotions.

In the opening qualifier, Jack Cartwheel defeated Lince Dorado and Kento, pinning Dorado after delivering Jack’s Arrow.

Cartwheel had previously challenged Fenix in a four-way title match during Héroes Inmortales on October 31.

Omos defeats Pimpinela Escarlata

The main event saw Omos defeat Pimpinela Escarlata in a No Disqualification match after considerable outside interference.

El Grande Americano intervened on Escarlata’s behalf, bringing out AAA World Trios Champions Los Perros del Mal. La Parka and Rey Fenix subsequently joined the fight, with the three singles champions combining to put Omos through a table.

Escarlata attempted to capitalize but was attacked by two additional wrestlers, allowing Omos to recover and secure the victory with a chokeslam.

  • Earlier, Roldán announced that next week’s episode would feature El Grande Americano, La Parka and Rey Fenix challeging Los Perros del Mal (Daga, Angel and Berto) for the Trios Titles.
