Omos has made no secret of how much he has enjoyed his time in Lucha Libre AAA, even as his current situation with the promotion has become increasingly hostile because of his issues with Rey Mysterio.
Speaking with Complex Graps ahead of Triplemanía 34, Omos described AAA’s audiences as a major reason that his run has stood out. The powerhouse said the reaction from fans has been consistently enthusiastic, portraying his experience in the company as a rewarding one despite the recent disciplinary conflict involving AAA’s General Manager.
“The crowd has been nothing but amazing. They’re very into the matches; they’re excited. They’re elated to see us and see us perform so it’s been nothing short of a treat since I’ve been there; had a wonderful time until the little pest Rey [Mysterio] came into the picture but other than that, it’s been nothing short of amazing.”
That positive assessment arrives at a particularly important point for Omos. He is set to meet Mysterio one-on-one on night one of Triplemanía 34, with major consequences attached to the result. The match is not simply about settling their personal issues. It will determine whether Omos has a future in AAA at all.

Triplemanía 34 Stakes Could Decide Omos’ AAA Future
Under the stipulation established for the match, Rey Mysterio can permanently remove Omos from AAA with a victory. If Mysterio wins, Omos will be banned from the promotion forever. For someone who has publicly said his time in AAA has been “nothing short of amazing,” the potential consequences are clear: a loss would bring a sudden end to a run he has characterized as a treat.
Omos, however, has an equally significant path available to him. A win over Mysterio would result in his full reinstatement to AAA. It would also give him the opportunity to accompany Dominik Mysterio to the ring on night two of Triplemanía 34, when Dominik defends the Mega Title against El Grande Americano.
That makes Omos’ match with Rey essential not only to his own standing but also to the landscape surrounding the Mega Title defense. Dominik’s championship bout against El Grande Americano is already one of the key matches scheduled for the second night. Whether Omos is permitted to be at ringside is now in the hands of Rey and Omos themselves.
The arrangement creates sharply different outcomes. Rey can preserve his authority as AAA General Manager and ensure that Omos is gone for good. Omos can erase the suspension, restore his status in the company, and place himself directly alongside Dominik for one of the most important matches of the event.
A Suspension Led To The Rey Mysterio Match
Omos’ status in AAA was jeopardized after he put his hands on Rey Mysterio. That incident resulted in Omos being suspended from the promotion, placing the giant on the outside while tensions with Mysterio continued to build.
The issue escalated further at AAA’s Ola de Calor show in late August. Omos appeared without warning, making an unannounced arrival despite his suspension. The confrontation did not remain verbal for long, as Rey took the fight to Omos. The situation ultimately led to Mysterio issuing the challenge that has now become their Triplemanía 34 match.
For Rey, the bout is a chance to confront the wrestler who violated the boundaries of his suspension and put his hands on the company’s General Manager. For Omos, it is an opportunity to turn a disciplinary setback into a complete reversal of fortune.
Omos’ comments suggest that he does not view the conflict with Rey as representative of his overall AAA experience. He specifically singled out Rey as the complication in what he otherwise described as an excellent run. Calling Mysterio “the little pest Rey” underscored the personal edge that has developed between them, but Omos’ larger point was focused on his appreciation for AAA’s crowds and the atmosphere surrounding his appearances.
Omos Highlights The AAA Audience
The emphasis on the audience is notable as Omos heads into a match where the crowd reaction could be a significant part of the atmosphere. AAA fans have been a central part of how Omos says he has experienced the promotion. Rather than offering a vague endorsement, he pointed to their engagement during matches and their excitement at seeing the performers.
“They’re very into the matches,” Omos said, adding that fans have been excited and elated to see the wrestlers perform. His description frames the audience response as something active rather than passive. In Omos’ view, the fans have helped make the environment enjoyable throughout his tenure.
That appreciation also provides added context to the stakes of the upcoming bout. Being banned from AAA would not merely prevent Omos from competing for the company. It would also sever his connection to the crowds he has praised so strongly. A victory, meanwhile, would allow him to continue participating in a setting he has described in glowing terms.
There is also an immediate practical benefit to reinstatement. Omos would be available to accompany Dominik Mysterio for the Mega Title defense against El Grande Americano on night two. That possibility gives the opening-night match consequences that carry directly into the following night’s championship action.
Dominik Mysterio’s Mega Title Defense Looms
Dominik Mysterio will defend the AAA Mega Title against El Grande Americano on the second night of Triplemanía 34. The champion’s match will take place with one major question unresolved until the previous night: will Omos be allowed at ringside?
If Rey defeats Omos, the answer is no. A permanent ban would prevent Omos from accompanying Dominik, leaving the Mega Title holder without the imposing presence of Omos at ringside. If Omos wins, he will be fully reinstated and able to stand alongside Dominik for the defense.
Nothing about the stipulation guarantees what role Omos would play beyond accompanying Dominik. What is certain is that his eligibility to be present hinges entirely on the result against Rey. The first-night match therefore serves as a gateway to the second night’s title picture.
For El Grande Americano, the uncertainty surrounding Omos adds another variable ahead of the Mega Title challenge. For Dominik, the outcome will determine whether he can have Omos in his corner. For Rey, preventing that possibility is part of the broader importance of defeating Omos and enforcing the consequences of the suspension.
Rey Mysterio Faces A Difficult Task
Rey Mysterio’s status as AAA General Manager puts a unique layer on the contest. He is not just entering a personal rivalry; he is facing a suspended wrestler whose actions created a direct challenge to his authority. Rey has already made his position clear by confronting Omos at Ola de Calor and accepting the path to a match with permanent ramifications.
At Triplemanía 34, Mysterio has the opportunity to make the ban final. Omos, on the other hand, needs a win to regain his place. The contrast is simple, though the tension surrounding it is substantial. One man is fighting to uphold a punishment. The other is fighting to eliminate it and resume his AAA career.
Omos has praised the AAA fans, the performances, and the overall experience he has had in the company. Yet the comments also make it evident that he sees Rey as the obstacle standing between him and a continuation of that run. The “pest” remark may have been delivered with a dismissive tone, but the stakes leave little room for either competitor to take the other lightly.
Night one of Triplemanía 34 will decide whether Omos’ time in AAA continues or ends permanently. It will also decide whether he is present when Dominik Mysterio puts the Mega Title on the line against El Grande Americano the following night. Omos has called his AAA run amazing. Against Rey Mysterio, he now has to win if he wants it to remain that way.
