Samuray Del Sol (Kalisto) To Challenge For AAA Mega Title At TripleMania Regia, Updated Card

Samuray Del Sol (formerly known as WWE star Kalisto) will challenge for the AAA Mega Championship at the promotion’s TripleMania Regia event on December 4.

AAA announced the news in a tweet on November 23, the day after Kenny Omega vacated the title due to various injuries. Omega had been set to defend the championship against El Hijo del Vikingo, who will still compete for the title at TripleMania Regia

Del Sol was described as the “first” contender, so it’s fair to expect that other participants for the match will be announced.

WWE released Kalisto on April 15, 2021. He recently made his AEW debut alongside Aerostar when the duo unsuccessfully challenged FTR for the AAA World Tag Team Championship on the November 3 episode of AEW Dynamite.

Previously, AAA announced several other matches for the show. Among other buzzworthy bouts, FTR will defend the AAA World Tag Team Championship against The Lucha Brothers.

The updated card is as follows:

• AAA World Tag Team Championships: FTR (c) vs. Lucha Bros
• Cain Velasquez, Pagano and Psycho Clown vs. L.A. Park, Rey Escorpión and Taurus
• AAA Mega Championship: El Hijo del Vikingo vs. Samuray Del Sol vs. TBA
• Dragon Lee and Dralístico vs. Laredo Kid and a mystery partner
• Dave The Clown, Monster Clown and Murder Clown vs. DMT Azul, Puma King and Sam Adonis
• Faby Apache, Lady Shani, and Sexy Star vs. Flammer, La Hiedra and Lady Maravilla
• Engañso and Venenoide vs. Gran Mazo and Leyenda Americana
• Abismo Negro Jr., Arez and Psicosis vs. Carta Brava Jr., Mocho Cota Jr. and Tito Santana vs. Cuatrero, Forastero and Sansón

WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
