WATCH: Rey Mysterio Makes Surprise Appearance For AAA TripleMania XXX

He doesn’t go here. WWE is the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world but it is not the only one. There are several other promotions around the world, some of which have their own legacies and histories. Their biggest events are among the most important in the world and that was the case this weekend. It was so big that a WWE legend made a surprise appearance. This weekend, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide held the third and final night of its TripleMania XXX show. The event marked thirty years of AAA and WWE Rey Mysterio made a surprise cameo via pre-recorded video. Mysterio talked about how important it was to wrestle at TripleMania and praised the company and wrestlers on the card. Mysterio wrestled in AAA in the early 1990s before coming to American to wrestle full time. This was special.

VIDEO: Three Released WWE Stars Make Surprise Appearances

Welcome back. There have been a lot of wrestlers released from WWE over the last year and a half. Those moves have changed the way the wrestling world works and that is not likely to be changing anytime soon. That makes for some rather interesting changes as other promotions are able to pick up some of the wrestlers here and there. That seems to be the case in triplicate this time around. Three recently released WWE wrestlers made appearances of some sort over the weekend. First, Taya Valkyrie, formerly known as Frankie Monet in NXT, appeared at AAA TripleMania and said that she was coming for Deonna Purrazzo Reina de Reinas Title. Also, former Universal Champion Braun Strowman, wrestling under his real name of Adam Scherr, appeared at GLCW Blizzard Brawl. The event was a charity show for the victims of the Waukesha, Wisconsin parade. Finally, Scarlett Bordeaux appeared at an MCW Pro Wrestling event, interfering in a match and attacking King McBride. These were some cool moments. Che..

WWE Falsely Advertises Charlotte For Live Event

They shouldn’t do that. WWE is the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world and that puts them in a rather special situation. They are able to run more events than any other promotion in the country and they are going to get more attention than anyone else. This time though, some of the attention they received is not leaving them in the best light. According to PWInsider.com, Charlotte did not appear at this weekend’s WWE live event in Charlotte, North Carolina as she was in Mexico City for AAA TripleMania. Charlotte’s fiance Andrade El Idolo, accompanied by Charlotte’s father Ric Flair, unsuccessfully challenged Kenny Omega for the AAA Mega Title at the event, with Charlotte in attendance as well. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Charlotte requested the night off from WWE “some time ago”, though WWE continued to advertise her for the show anyway. Charlotte also missed the Sunday night WWE live event in Columbia, South Carolina. Charlotte is going to be a big ..

AEW Prevented Major Weekend Title Change

They do have a bit of pull. There are a lot of wrestling promotions in the world today but only a handful of them are at the top of the heap. Those promotions are able to do some things that you do not see elsewhere and it can make for some very interesting moments. That seems to be the case again, as there were some international strings being pulled over the weekend. Last Friday, Kenny Omega lost the Impact Wrestling World Title to Christian Cage during the debut episode of AEW Rampage. The following night, Omega successfully defended the AAA Mega Championship against Andrade El Idolo at AAA TripleMania 29. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the original plan called for El Idolo to win the title but AEW requested that the title change be postponed. AEW has control over Omega’s finishes and did not want Omega losing on back to back nights. Omega is currently scheduled to defend the AEW World Title on September 5 at All Out. I can see why AEW would be worried. Check out the Omega..

WATCH: Ric Flair Makes Surprise Wrestling Appearance Over The Weekend

Woo again. There are certain wrestlers who practically transcend wrestling and it is always interesting to see what they are up to. It is not the case with a great number of wrestlers but you know one when you see one. That person can do almost anything they want and will still be a legend no matter what. One such name did something on Saturday that he may never have done before. Ric Flair made a surprise, unannounced appearance at Saturday’s AAA TripleMania XXIX event in Mexico City, Mexico. Flair accompanied Andrade El Idolo to the ring for his AAA Mega Title shot against Kenny Omega, which saw Omega retain the title. The match saw Flair get involved and chop Omega a few times. El Idolo is engaged to Flair’s daughter Charlotte. This is the first time that Flair has appeared for a promotion based in Mexico. Flair’s appearance comes less than a month after he requested and received his release from WWE. The move made him a free agent, though it is not clear how long his no compete cl..
