Dominik Mysterio teams with El Grande Americano at AAA Verano de Escandalo

"

Dominik Mysterio is a dirtbag. The AAA mega champion lived up to the Dirty Dom name by betraying El Grande Americano at AAA Verano de Escandalo (July 25, 2026). Dominik and El Grande Americano teamed together as Los Gringo Locos 2.0 to fight Los Perros del Mal. The question was if this was a trap set up by Dom to weaken EGA heading into their showdown for the AAA Mega Championship at Triplemania in September. Well, Dominik stabbed EGA in the back. However, the story played out with a different twist than expected. Earlier in the evening, El Grande Americano pointblank asked Dominik if he had his back. Is Dom with EGA? Or is Dom with Los Perros? Dominik didn’t exactly lie. He isn’t with Los Perros. Dom sweet-talked EGA into dreaming about how they can have the biggest match in AAA history at Triplemania. EGA bought that pitch to believe they are united by a common goal. The scene closed with a pop for lucha libre fans when Damian 666 approached EGA. Damian is an OG member of Los Perros. Los Gringos Locos están de regreso… y todos confiamos en Dominik Mysterio, ¿cierto? 🤔#AAAVeranoDeEscandalo pic.twitter.com/ngtoJCFYkn — Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (@luchalibreaaa) July 26, 2026 Main event time. I should have suspected something smelled funny when Dominik and El Grande Americano didn’t arrive wearing the matching Gringos Locos gear. Their opponents from Los Perros del Mal were Daga and Angel Garza. The match built to show Dominik and El Grande Americano working well as a unit. They utilized smart tags for hot offense. Dominik even tagged in EGA on Three Amigos for a double suplex on the third amigo. Another example was EGA with the superplex followed by a frog splash from Dom. This match is COOKING! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/PcZlREWyYZ — WWE (@WWE) July 26, 2026 Not long after, the match broke down into chaos. It started when El Grande Americano sent Angel crashing into the referee. Ref down! Angel laughed and blew a kiss at the official. The timing was funny, because Dom didn’t waste time hitting the 619 on Angel’s puckered lips. EGA connected on a diving headbutt to pin Angel. No ref though to make the three-count. Dominik pulled out the piece of steel from his boot to hand to EGA for a loaded headbutt. This was another step in believing that they were on the same page as a team. Los Perros weren’t going down like that. Berto and Bronco Nima ran down to attack Dominik. Bravo and Rayo joined the fracas with kendo sticks. Bravo climbed high above for a 20-foot falling crossbody onto the pile. ¡¿¡¿QUÉ ESTÁ PASANDO?!?! 😱😱😱😱😱#AAAVeranoDeEscandalo pic.twitter.com/QSYKwU94b0 — Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (@luchalibreaaa) July 26, 2026 Karmen Petrovic arrived on stage as the Angel of Death. She must have gotten Nima’s juices flowing, because he powered up for a double chokeslam to Bravo and Rayo onto the Spanish commentary table. Even in Mexico, the Spanish commentary table isn’t safe. El Grande Americano neutralized Nima with a suicide dive and a running headbutt. Angel caught EGA for a pop-up knee strike. This started the heroic build of EGA’s intestinal fortitude toward the hot tag to Dominik. El Grande Americano kept kicking out from heavy maneuvers. The crowd’s reaction grew louder and louder in support of EGA. Daga peppered punches, and EGA fired up after each one. Double clothesline by EGA. The opening was there for the tag to Dom. El Grande Americano reached out. Dominik short-armed him and backed away from the ring. Betrayal! Dirty Dom left EGA ripe for the picking. Los Perros feasted to finish EGA on a double stomp from Daga. The win went to Los Perros del Mal. Dirty Dom strikes AGAIN 😨 Los Perros del Mal pick up the WIN! pic.twitter.com/ZcdxpoIIE1 — WWE (@WWE) July 26, 2026 The story didn’t end there. Dominik’s betrayal didn’t signify that he is in cahoots with Los Perros. On the contrary, Dom aligned with a different crew to watch his back from Los Perros. Dominik stood on stage alongside Dorian Roldan and the giant Omos. Dios los hace, ellos se juntan: Dorian, Omos y Dominik Mysterio 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄#AAAVeranoDeEscandalo pic.twitter.com/vYLBg30Lvv — Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (@luchalibreaaa) July 26, 2026 This move from Dominik is also a jab at his father. In the opening segment, Dorian and Omos threatened harm to AAA general manager Rey Mysterio. Dorian blamed Rey for the injury to Hijo del Vikingo and not allowing the Latin American Championship to be handed over to Omos. Recruiting Dominik is part of Dorian’s payback scheme. AAA did a great job with storylines in this main event. More questions were created than answers, and that fills the road to Triplemania with intrigue. AAA doubled down on Dominik as a rudo, which only creates a hotter reaction when El Grande Americano beats him. Los Perros del Mal were strong in victory, and this new era of Los Perros established themselves well. There is a lot of excitement ahead for EGA going to war against Los Perros. Heck, I hope we see EGA be the one to finally pin Omos in AAA. Imagine the reaction of him conquering the giant.

Dominik Mysterio created an unlikely alliance to headline the AAA Verano de Escandalo event. Dirty Dom will team with El Grande Americano to wrestle two members of Los Perros del Mal. Dominik’s motivations are up for debate. Whether it be self-preservation or a con game, the risk is great in trusting that scoundrel. The plan is for Dominik to defend the AAA Mega Championship against El Grande Americano at Triplemania in September. The Perros threw a monkey wrench in the mix when they debuted and attacked EGA. Dom doesn’t want to suffer that same fate, and he also claims that he wants EGA healthy to have their mega showdown. Thus, Dominik is watching EGA’s back. Even though there hasn’t been any obvious hints of treachery from Dom in this storyline, he’s burned El Grande Americano in the past. Plus, wrestling history is littered with these types of stories with the top heel actually plotting something more sinister on the beloved babyface. Verano de Escandalo translates to Summer of Scandal, so Dominik betraying EGA would certainly be scandalous enough to fit the name of the event. That’s not to say funny business is guaranteed. It’s just one of many intriguing angles in how this main event could play out. Dominik Mysterio y El Grande Americano vs. Daga y ¿¿¿??? #AAAVeranoDeEscándalo 🔥 Boletos disponibles en https://t.co/sOX8rXaotV 📺 Sábado 25 de Julio, 8PM en Fox para Latinoamerica, 10e/7p en Facebook y YouTube para el resto del mundo. pic.twitter.com/UFYQHgoBnt — Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (@luchalibreaaa) July 20, 2026 Verano de Escandalo will be taped Saturday, July 25 from Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico. The special will air over the next three weeks. Week one will be live. Week two will air on August 1. Week three will air on August 8. The lineup so far for Verano de Escandalo includes: Dominik Mysterio & El Grande Americano vs. Los Perros del Mal (Daga & ???) (week one) AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship: Lola Vice & Mr. Iguana (c) vs. La Hiedra & Laredo Kid (week one) Dragon Lee vs. La Parka vs. Mecha Wolf in qualifier for vacant AAA Latin American Championship (week one) AAA World Cruiserweight Championship: Fenix (c) vs. Mini Vikingo (week two) Psycho Clown vs. El Fiscal vs. Cruz del Toro in qualifier for vacant AAA Latin American Championship (week two) AAA Reina de Reinas Championship: Flammer (c) vs. La Catalina vs. Lady Shani (week three) Damian Priest vs. Omos vs. Galeno del Mal in qualifier for vacant AAA Latin American Championship (week three) For a quick breakdown on the other storylines, La Hiedra has her last chance to challenge for the mixed tag championship. Hiedra is a former champion with Mr. Iguana as her partner, but she bossed him around as a toxica. Iguana and Lola Vice shared a spark, and that led to gold. Hiedra failed several times to take the titles from them, but now she has a decorated teammate in Laredo Kid who knows how to win. Mini Vikingo won a qualifier to earn his shot at Fenix for the cruiserweight title. This should be a straightforward high-octane match to showcase Mini Vikingo as a future star in defeat. One storyline thought crossed my mind, but it is probably unlikely. It’s possible that Dorian Roldan reconsiders dismissing Mini Vikingo’s talent, and he recruits the youngster into El Ojo faction as a replacement for the injured Hijo del Vikingo. I’d guess that there is a very small chance of that happening, and you never know. Speaking of Hijo del Vikingo, he suffered a serious knee injury and was forced to vacate the AAA Latin American Championship. General Manager Rey Mysterio is holding a series of qualifiers to crown a new champion at Triplemania. Four three-ways were booked. One already took place with El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. defeating Texano Jr. and Abismo Negro Jr. to advance. Flammer is on a record-breaking reign as the longest Reina de Reinas champion. Her days may be numbered though. La Catalina is a hot commodity coming from CMLL. Two-time champ Lady Shani recently returned, and she pinned Flammer in a non-title bout. For most of the world, WWE streams the weekly episodes in English and AAA offers the program in Spanish in the live section of their respective YouTube channels. Start time for Verano de Escandalo is 10 pm ET on Saturday night. Share your thoughts and predictions for the card for AAA Verano de Escandalo.
