WWE broadcaster Corey Graves hypes Triplemania 34 before Night 1 in Las Vegas
Triplemania 34 to Break Ground in Las Vegas, Bringing AAA’s Lucha Libre to the U.S.
The premier annual show of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), Triplemania 34, will make its first appearance in the United States on Friday, Sept. 14. The flagship night will unfold inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, while the second night will return to Mexico, taking place on Sunday, Sept. 16 at Arena CDMX in Mexico City.
The event will showcase the high‑flying, colorful style of Mexican professional wrestling that fans have known as Lucha Libre for decades. AAA’s Saturday‑night “Saturday Night” programming is slated to be featured, along with a handful of WWE superstars who will cross over for the occasion.
A cultural splash in a wrestling‑heavy city
Triplemania has been a staple of AAA’s calendar for 34 years, and its move to the U.S. follows a recent streak of WWE’s own major events in Las Vegas. WrestleMania 41 and 42 were staged at Allegiant Stadium in 2025 and 2026, respectively, bringing top‑tier wrestling to the city’s massive venues. AAA’s decision to play in Las Vegas adds a new flavor to a city already known for high‑energy spectacles.
“When I talk about AAA, I’m comparing it to the Savannah Bananas,” explained AAA commentator Corey Graves in an interview with OutKick’s Dropkick. “It’s still baseball, but it’s seen through a different lens—bright colors, insane characters, pageantry, and that sense of being part of a moment.” Graves added that the show is “about moments, about memories, not statistics” and that fans can enjoy the spectacle even if they’re unfamiliar with the sport’s history.
Graves also revealed that the event’s venue was moved from the Luxor to the MGM Grand Garden Arena after a rapid surge in demand. “We were originally booked to be at the Luxor Hotel, and within days we had to move to the MGM Grand for capacity purposes,” he said. “It shows that there’s a strong interest, not just from the Latino community but from English‑speaking audiences who are curious about this product.”
Key matchups
Night 1 will feature a headline match between AAA general manager Rey Mysterio and former WWE star Omos. The stipulation is that a win for Omos would signal his return to AAA, while a loss would leave him “forever shunned,” according to the promotion’s storyline. Omos will be accompanied by Dominik Mysterio, while Rey will have El Grande Americano in his corner.
On Night 2, Dominik Mysterio will defend the AAA Mega Championship against El Grande Americano in a title bout that also carries storyline significance for both wrestlers. The cards for both nights are fully available on AAA’s free YouTube channel, which streams Saturday night matches at 10 p.m. U.S. time for viewers around the globe.
A growing international audience
AAA’s flagship show is set to reach a wide audience. While the main broadcast is on YouTube in the United States and internationally, AAA also streams on television across Mexico, Central and South America. The company’s Saturday night shows remain available worldwide, reinforcing AAA’s global presence.
Triplemania 34 marks a historic moment for the sport. By stepping onto U.S. soil, AAA is inviting a new generation of fans to experience Lucha Libre’s vibrant tradition—an experience that, according to Graves, “is still the same, but it’s seen through a different lens.”
AAA will continue to push the envelope with its blend of local talent and international stars, and the Las Vegas event promises to be a high‑octane showcase that bridges cultures, styles, and audiences. Whether you’re a lifelong wrestling fan or simply looking for a unique live‑event experience, the triple‑night celebration in Las Vegas and Mexico City offers a chance to witness history in the making.
