Roxanne Perez is headed to WWE Worlds Collide with a major championship opportunity in hand.
Perez defeated Nattie, Faby Apache and La Hiedra in a Fatal Four-Way match on night one of Lucha Libre AAA Triplemanía 34. The victory secured Perez a future challenge for the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship at WWE Worlds Collide, which is scheduled for September 26 in Rosemont, Illinois.
The match did not determine the identity of Perez’s eventual opponent. Current Reina de Reinas Champion Flammer is set to defend her title against La Catalina on night two of Triplemanía 34. Whoever emerges from that championship match will move on to put the Reina de Reinas title on the line against Perez at Worlds Collide.
That leaves Perez with a guaranteed title match but an unresolved championship picture. Flammer has reason to be especially wary after becoming directly involved in the finish of the Fatal Four-Way, while La Catalina has the opportunity to change the entire equation before the Rosemont event.

Perez Survives Four-Way Field at Triplemanía 34
The stakes were clear from the outset: the winner would earn a shot at one of AAA’s top women’s championships on the WWE Worlds Collide stage. Perez entered the bout alongside Nattie, Faby Apache and La Hiedra, creating a field that brought together competitors with very different connections to the AAA landscape.
In a Fatal Four-Way format, Perez did not need to defeat every opponent individually. She needed to capitalize at the right moment, withstand attacks coming from multiple directions and secure a decisive fall before anyone else could do the same. The closing sequence saw exactly that kind of chaos, with the champion herself attempting to influence the result from outside the match.
Flammer attempted to help her factionmate La Hiedra by using the Reina de Reinas Championship belt against Perez. The plan backfired when Perez moved out of the way and avoided the belt shot. Perez then got Flammer out of the ring, removing the champion from the immediate situation and creating the opening she needed.
With La Hiedra vulnerable, Perez delivered the Pop Rox and scored the pinfall to win the Fatal Four-Way. The result gave Perez the championship match at Worlds Collide and prevented La Hiedra from taking the opportunity despite Flammer’s attempted assistance.
The finish also ensured that Flammer’s presence will loom over the title picture regardless of what happens in her defense against La Catalina. Her effort to aid La Hiedra was unsuccessful, and Perez now has a clear victory over the faction’s attempted interference as she prepares for a championship challenge.
A Championship Match Still to Be Decided
Perez knows when and where she will challenge for the title, but she does not yet know who will hold it.
Flammer enters night two of Triplemanía 34 as the reigning Reina de Reinas Champion and will defend against La Catalina. That match carries immediate championship stakes, but its outcome now has a second consequence. The winner will be required to face Perez at WWE Worlds Collide on September 26.
If Flammer retains, she would arrive in Rosemont still carrying the title and with a recent failed attempt to prevent Perez from becoming the next challenger. Perez’s ability to evade the belt shot and then finish La Hiedra makes the Triplemanía result a frustrating development for the champion, especially because Flammer’s intervention did not merely fail to produce her preferred winner. It put Perez in position to claim the victory.
If La Catalina wins the title on night two, Perez’s Worlds Collide match takes on a different form. Rather than challenging the woman whose interference helped shape the Fatal Four-Way finish, Perez would meet a newly crowned champion with the Reina de Reinas title freshly in her possession.
Either scenario gives Worlds Collide a women’s championship match with significant momentum coming out of Triplemanía 34. Perez has already earned her place through victory in a crowded qualifier, while the champion entering Rosemont will have just survived—or emerged from—another pivotal Triplemanía contest.
Why the Fatal Four-Way Result Matters
The road to the Reina de Reinas Championship did not come through a one-on-one victory for Perez. Instead, she won a match featuring Nattie, Faby Apache and La Hiedra, with Flammer’s involvement adding another layer to the decisive moments.
That context is important because it shows the title opportunity was not handed to Perez by an announcement or a direct selection. She earned it in the ring against three opponents, including La Hiedra, who had outside support from the champion during the final stretch.
Nattie and Faby Apache were unable to secure the win, while La Hiedra came up short despite Flammer’s attempt to change the outcome. Perez was the wrestler who took advantage when the field opened up. Her Pop Rox on La Hiedra ended the contest and settled the question of who would head to Worlds Collide as the next Reina de Reinas title challenger.
For Perez, the result adds a major AAA championship target to her immediate schedule. For the Reina de Reinas division, it creates a clear path through the remainder of Triplemanía 34 and into Worlds Collide: Flammer versus La Catalina determines the champion, and Perez awaits the winner.
Flammer’s Interference Backfires
Flammer’s decision to involve herself in the Fatal Four-Way could have had a very different outcome. By trying to strike Perez with the championship belt, she was looking to tilt the match toward La Hiedra. Instead, Perez avoided the attack, sent Flammer from the ring and immediately turned her attention back to the legal action.
That sequence was central to Perez’s win. La Hiedra was left in position to take the Pop Rox, and Perez made the cover that earned her the title shot. The attempted interference therefore did not just fail to stop Perez; it became part of the chain of events that led directly to her becoming the No. 1 contender for the Reina de Reinas Championship.
There is no indication yet of what Flammer’s next move will be before her defense against La Catalina. Her priority remains keeping the championship on night two of Triplemanía 34. But Perez has ensured that Flammer, should she retain, will not be able to look past the September 26 event in Rosemont.
La Hiedra also exits the Fatal Four-Way without the opportunity she was trying to capture. The champion’s effort to assist her factionmate did not change the result, and the decisive pinfall went to Perez. The outcome leaves Perez as the wrestler advancing toward the title, while La Hiedra’s route to the championship has been halted for now.
Worlds Collide Gets a Defined Title Direction
WWE Worlds Collide on September 26 will now feature Perez challenging for the Reina de Reinas Championship. The event in Rosemont, Illinois, will host the next chapter in a title story that begins at Triplemanía 34 and continues through its second night.
The structure of the situation is straightforward. Perez won the Fatal Four-Way on night one. Flammer will defend the Reina de Reinas title against La Catalina on night two. The winner of Flammer versus La Catalina will defend against Perez at Worlds Collide.
What is not yet settled is the identity of the champion Perez will meet. That uncertainty gives the remaining Triplemanía title match added importance. Flammer can preserve her reign and head into Worlds Collide with unfinished business involving Perez, or La Catalina can claim the championship and become Perez’s opponent in a newly formed title matchup.
Perez, meanwhile, has done her part. She navigated a match against Nattie, Faby Apache and La Hiedra, avoided Flammer’s belt shot, and put La Hiedra away with the Pop Rox. Her reward is a shot at the Reina de Reinas Championship on September 26.
Roxanne Perez will challenge either Flammer or La Catalina for the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship at WWE Worlds Collide in Rosemont.
