AAA on Fox 5/16/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/05/aaa-on-fox-592026.html

We are still in Queretaro. Corey Graves, JBL and Rey Mysterio are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive. El Grande Americano Original's crew gets yelled at by fans as they enter. 
 
La Parka & Mr. Iguana vs. Money Machine (Colmillo De Plata & Garra De Oro) vs. Nueva Generacion Dinamita (Forastero & Sanson) vs. Tokyo Bad Boys (Nobu San & Takuma)

Fora and San come out with vests that have NJPW logos on them. Fora has the tattoos and San doesn't. 

San and Oro go at it. San flips him then they trade waistlocks. Oro wristlocks him and San hammerlocks him. Oro flying snapmares him then San flying elbow him. San elbow drops him for 2. Fora stomps on Oro then AA's him. Oro hurricanrana's Fora. Plata top rope crossbodies Fora. Fora superkicks Plata after San interrupts Plata.

Takuma tags himself in. He springboard diving lariats Plata for 2. Plata takes a double chop from The Bad Boys then a double hiptoss. Takuma side headlocks Plata. Plata reverses it. Iguana tags in. Ig flying headscissors Takuma then toyota rolls into a crucifix bomb on him. Parka slingshot swantons Takuma.

Parka pop-up drops Takuma, tilt-a-whirl backbreakers him and dropkicks him. Kento trips Parka from the outside and Takuma spinning ddt's Parka. Parka is double teamed by NGD. Parka double suplexes NGD.

Thoughts: Iguana and Parka winning wasn't a shock as they were the most featured people in this. What we got was fine though it could have had a bit more flow to it. It was all action and flying. Takuma got his big blind corkscrew moonsault in. Oro had some trouble getting a dive off. 

The War Raiders' theme hits. They attack NGD then attack Money Machine and Tokyo Bad Boys. Nobu gets thrown, Plata takes a bunch of back elbows then Kento goes after Erik. Erik throws Kento into a spin kick from Ivar. Oro is popped up into a powerslam then Plata takes a double powerbomb.

Dorian Roldan is in front of Marisela Pena's office and can't get ahold of her. Doriano opens the door and Texano Jr. says they are having a meeting about him being GM. Dorian says he will be the one who is the new GM and he can do better. Texano tells him to be quiet if he wants to do something and says to relax.

We see video from Rey Fenix going up to Laredo Kid in the parking lot 2 weeks ago. Rey says the fans threw money at them and got excited about their match. Kid says Rey is the problem and he's jealous him and Penta because they have titles. Rey says he's proud of his brother. Rey says he held the Cruiserweight Title and never lost it. Rey challenges him for the title. Laredo said he got lucky tonight and says the luck will end. They fight next week.

Handicap Match - Galeno vs. Chris Carter & Drago

This is Drago's and Galeno's first match in WWE's AAA. This is not the original Drago that was in Lucha Underground and AAA.

Thoughts: It was all squash here. The commentators enjoyed it and put Gal over. Gal did a nice job throwing them around and looking powerful.

We see clips from Bayley and Lola helping out La Catalina. We then see them talking outside. Bayley says Cat and a big debut. Cat thanks them and says Lola's a double champ while Bay is a legend. She says they should fight Las Toxicas on 5/30. Bay says they will see them soon.

The Creed's take a fake looking roll outside. Fis top rope plancha's them together. Star blind reverse plancha's everyone off the 2nd rope outside.

Star is held for a flying knee from JC. JC powerbombs Star then ankle locks him. Star taps out.

Thoughts: I wasn't a big fan of this. The luchadores didn't get much in of note and basically got squashed. This was WWE kind of taking liberties with AAA and hurting their regulars.

Star is double teamed more after. Rayo and Bravo Americano come out and save Star and Fis. They hit shots on The Creed's in the corners. 

El Grande Americano Original comes in and beats up on Rayo and Bravo. Bravo is held for boots from Grande OG. They try to unmask Bravo. El Grande Americano II then comes out. He's not allowed to touch Grande OG though so Grande blocks him. Rayo nails Grande OG from behind. BC is double lariated over the top. Grande II, Rayo and Bravo triple team JC and Grande OG pulls him out.

Grande II gets on the mic and says they are in his house. Grande II says the match won't just be a mask vs mask match, it will be for the Mexican pride, for the legacy, for the culture and for the interviewer. Grande II says he will bury him and his mask. He says there will be only one Grande.

Overall thoughts: As I said the last few weeks, a lot of the big stars (and their opponents) have been missing lately and that has hurt these shows a bit. That's the problem with one hour shows and long wait periods between big events - you get a lot of weeks where stars aren't on and we basically get filler. 2 of the 3 matches were basically filler here. The first two matches were fine. I didn't like the main though. Fiscal and Aero Star got destroyed and came off as a jobbers to The Creed's, who are basically low card guys on WWE TV. I'd give the show a 5 out of 10. It was a little weaker than usual and was a bit average. It wasn't bad, just not great.
