Get ready for an epic wrestling event that's about to unfold! The FOX premiere of WWE Lucha Libre AAA is here, and it's a night you won't want to miss!
Mark your calendars for January 18th, 2026, at 1:00 AM UTC. This event has been a long time coming, and wrestling enthusiasts like Sean Rueter, who has been immersed in the world of pro wrestling since WrestleMania I, are eagerly anticipating it.
In a groundbreaking move, WWE announced a Mexican media rights contract for Lucha Libre AAA, a Mexican promotion they acquired in 2025. The contract is with FOX, and the action kicks off tonight!
But here's the twist: the FOX contract covers Mexico and most of South America, excluding Brazil. For the global audience, WWE has made the show accessible online, with a YouTube stream embedded right here for your convenience.
While details were scarce until recently, WWE seems determined to make this a significant event. The lineup includes Rey Mysterio, who will open the show, and the enigmatic Omos making a special appearance. The main event is a highly anticipated AAA Mega Championship Match, with El Hijo del Vikingo facing off against El Grande Americano to determine Dirty Dom Mysterio's next challenger.
It's unclear if we'll have English commentary, but the show is scheduled for a 9 p.m. ET start. Join us then, and we'll discover the outcome together!
Here's a glimpse of what WWE has in store for this historic event:
- WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio will ignite the night with his entrance.
- The highly anticipated AAA Mega Championship Match will determine the next contender.
- Flammer, the AAA Reina de Reinas Champion, will face Lady Shani in a non-title match.
- A thrilling Six-Man Tag Team Match will feature Niño Hamburguesa, La Parka, and Mr. Iguana against Abismo Negro, Taurus, and Histeria.
And this is the part that might confuse some: the FOX involved is not the same FOX that AEW is on in Mexico. We've delved into the details here, so you can understand the distinction.
