La Catalina earns title shot at Triplemanía 34 after gauntlet victory

"

Ever since La Catalina debuted in AAA, most assumed it was only a matter of time before she wins the Reina de Reinas Championship. Catalina is one step closer to that goal. La Diva del Ring was the favorite to win the #1 contender gauntlet match at Ola de Calor (Aug. 30, 2026), and she did just that. But, it wasn’t without drama. Drama that might tear Las Toxicas apart. Flammer was ringside with her title to observe the gauntlet match. Lady Shani pinned Adelicious off the Texas Tumbleweed rolling roll-up. NXT’s Thea Hail was next. She countered Shani’s Tumbleweed for a roll-up of her own. La Catalina was fourth to arrive. Hail did serious damage to Catalina’s left arm. Catalina was trapped in a kimura in the middle of the ring. She was able to roll over the top for a bridging pin to eliminate Hail. This is where the drama came in. Flammer’s Toxicas teammate La Hiedra was the final contestant. Flammer was shocked at the betrayal. Hiedra danced seductively to the ring. 😱🔥 ¡¿Qué está haciendo La Hiedra?! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/KvL8MfU1lk — Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (@luchalibreaaa) August 30, 2026 Hiedra worked Catalina’s arm where Hail left off. After a double chickenwing facebuster that didn’t bust any face failed to earn a pin, Hiedra argued with the referee. She grabbed her mixed tag title as a weapon. The referee confiscated the foreign object. Apparently, Flammer would rather face Hiedra than Catalina, because she attempted to hit Catalina with her title belt. Catalina ducked away, and Flammer clocked Hiedra by accident. Catalina dumped Flammer from the ring. A running hip attack and a bicycle knee strike finished the job on Hiedra. .@LaCatalinagar is headed to Triplemanía 34 🔥 What a MOMENT! pic.twitter.com/qxtM4CrTo9 — WWE (@WWE) August 30, 2026 Catalina advances to Triplemania 34 to challenge Flammer for the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship. On top of that, we should have fallout of the toxic Toxicas. The question is if they will be on the same page for Flammer’s title defense. Catch up on the full results to WWE AAA Ola de Calor here.
