Summary
Friday’s Triplemania 34 Night 1 main event in Las Vegas pits AAA general manager Rey Mysterio against Omos, with the suspended giant earning roster reinstatement if he wins.
The match grew out of August attacks and a final-show brawl after Mysterio suspended Omos, only for Omos to return as a paid spectator and attack him again.
Dominik Mysterio will be in Omos’s corner, while El Grande Americano backs Rey ahead of their own Night 2 clash Sunday for the AAA Mega Championship.
AAA is staging the event in the United States for the first time, with Night 1 at MGM Grand Garden Arena streaming on YouTube at 10 p.m. ET.
Corey Graves, calling the show, framed the bout as a David-versus-Goliath test for 51-year-old Rey, who stands 5-foot-6 against the much larger Omos.
With his AAA career on the line, can the giant Omos crush the legendary Rey Mysterio in this historic Las Vegas showdown?
Will AAA's highly theatrical approach and WWE crossover successfully conquer the American wrestling market, or alienate traditional lucha libre purists?
