In a night full of surprises, the most significant one to occur at AAA’s Rey de Reyes show was a video message from Andrade challenging Kenny Omega for the Mega Championship at this year’s Triplemania, the company’s signature show.
Andrade has never wrestled in AAA, making this match especially meaningful both in Mexico and abroad. Omega starred for years in Japan, most notably with New Japan Pro Wrestling, where he set an even higher standard to his work in a 209-day reign as IWGP Heavyweight Champion. In addition to his role as AAA’s Mega Champion, which he last defended in December, Omega is also AEW’s world champion and the new champ for Impact Wrestling.
