Dominik Mysterio has forced his way back into the AAA Mega Championship picture after a dramatic night involving El Grande Americano, Rey Mysterio, Dorian Roldán and Omos. The former champion will challenge El Grande Americano for AAA’s top prize at Héroes Inmortales on October 24, after El Ojo prevailed in a stipulation-heavy tag team main event.
The development came on the October 23 live episode of Lucha Libre AAA on FOX, where the newly crowned El Grande Americano opened the program as AAA Mega Champion. Americano’s celebration did not last long before he was confronted by the El Ojo faction: Dorian Roldán, Omos and Dominik Mysterio.
At the center of the confrontation was the controversial conclusion to Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano’s AAA Mega Championship match at Triplemanía 34. Roldán made clear that El Ojo’s complaint was directed toward AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio. In Roldán’s view, Rey should not have been involved in the referee’s count that officially confirmed Americano as the new champion.
Rey Mysterio emerged to address Roldán and his group, setting the stage for a dispute that was about far more than a single count. Dominik had lost the AAA Mega Championship, and El Ojo wanted the outcome reversed. Americano, meanwhile, did not agree to undo the result. Instead, he presented Dominik with a route to another title opportunity—but one that carried a potentially severe consequence.

A rematch with major consequences
El Grande Americano proposed a tag team match pitting himself and Rey Mysterio against Dominik Mysterio and Omos. The stipulations were direct. If El Ojo won, Dominik would receive an AAA Mega Championship rematch at Héroes Inmortales. If Americano and Rey won, Dominik would be barred from ever challenging for the Mega Title again for as long as El Grande Americano remains champion.
It was an enormous gamble for Dominik. A loss would not merely have delayed his pursuit of the championship; it would have completely shut the door on another match with Americano during the current reign. Yet with Roldán and Omos alongside him, Dominik accepted the terms.
The stipulation also raised the stakes for Americano. Since winning the AAA Mega Championship at Triplemanía 34, the champion has had to deal immediately with attempts to challenge the legitimacy of his victory. Rather than avoid the former champion, El Grande put a decisive condition on the line and gave Dominik an opportunity to earn his way back to the title match.
Rey’s participation was equally significant. Roldán’s objections were specifically tied to Rey’s role in the Triplemanía 34 finish, making him a natural partner for Americano and a direct target for El Ojo. The family history between Rey and Dominik added another emotional layer to a match already built around the championship controversy.
Dominik delivers the decisive blow
The closing stretch of the tag team contest saw El Ojo exploit every available opening. Dominik unmasked Rey Mysterio, a pivotal act that created the opportunity his team needed. He then struck El Grande Americano with the AAA Mega Championship itself.
After the title shot, Dominik pinned Americano to secure the victory for El Ojo. That result activated the agreed-upon stipulation, officially earning Dominik his rematch at Héroes Inmortales.
The win gives Dominik critical momentum heading into October 24. He did not just secure a contractual path to another title match; he pinned the reigning AAA Mega Champion following a blow with the very championship he hopes to reclaim. Americano will arrive at Héroes Inmortales knowing his challenger has already found a way to put him down, even if the circumstances surrounding the tag match were anything but straightforward.
For Dominik, the outcome also answers the immediate question created by the Triplemanía 34 defeat. El Grande Americano’s championship victory stands, but Dominik will have another chance to regain the title. With Dorian Roldán and Omos expected to be in his corner, the former champion will once again enter a major AAA main event backed by the full influence of El Ojo.
El Ojo remains a major factor
Roldán, Omos and Dominik Mysterio have made it clear that their issue is not limited to the championship alone. Roldán’s confrontation with Rey Mysterio centered on AAA authority and the disputed referee count at Triplemanía 34. That broader conflict means the Mega Title match at Héroes Inmortales could carry ramifications beyond whether Dominik or Americano leaves with the belt.
Omos was instrumental simply through his presence in the tag bout and remains a formidable part of Dominik’s support system. Americano will have to prepare not only for the challenger in front of him, but also for the possibility that Roldán and Omos will seek to tilt the environment in El Ojo’s favor.
Dominik’s willingness to use the championship as a weapon also provides a clear preview of the lengths he may go to in order to win it back. The October 24 bout will be a title match, but the conflict has already become personal. Americano defeated Dominik at Triplemanía 34. Dominik answered by helping drive the new champion into another high-pressure defense less than a day later.
El Grande Americano, however, has shown that he is not interested in allowing the dispute over Triplemanía 34 to define his reign. He accepted the challenge put before him and was prepared to risk permanently removing Dominik from contention during his title run. The champion’s decision reflects confidence, although the tag team loss ensures he now heads into Héroes Inmortales with El Ojo holding the momentum.
AAA Mega Championship takes center stage at Héroes Inmortales
The AAA Mega Championship match is set to headline a card that also includes two additional championship bouts. Perros del Mal—Daga, Angel and Berto—will defend the AAA World Trios Championship against Niño Hamburguesa, La Parka and Mr. Igauna.
That trios title match brings together a champion unit in Perros del Mal and a trio of challengers with a distinct mix of personalities and styles. Daga, Angel and Berto will be seeking to retain their position atop AAA’s trios division, while Niño Hamburguesa, La Parka and Mr. Igauna have the chance to leave Héroes Inmortales with one of the promotion’s most important sets of championships.
Rey Fenix is also scheduled to defend the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship against an opponent who has not yet been announced. With the challenger still listed as TBD, Fenix enters the event with uncertainty surrounding both the identity of his opponent and the preparation required for the defense.
Still, the largest question heading into the show is the future of the AAA Mega Championship. Dominik Mysterio has earned his rematch, while El Grande Americano must defend his newly won championship against the man he defeated at Triplemanía 34. Roldán and Omos will accompany Dominik, ensuring El Ojo’s presence will be felt around the main event.
