Production

Background

2022 will mark the 30th year that the Mexican professional wrestling company Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (Triple A or AAA) has held their annual flagship Triplemanía show. Triplemanía XXX will comrpise of three shows – the 37th, 38th, and 39th overall Triplemanía shows promoted by AAA (AAA promoted more than one Triplemanía event from 1994 to 1997 and from 2019 onward). Since the 2012 event, Triplemanía has taken place at the Arena Ciudad de México (Mexico City Arena), an indoor arena in Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, Mexico that has a maximum capacity of 22,300 spectators.[1][2][3][4] On January 25, 2022, AAA announced that Triplemanía XXX would be held across three day in three cities.[5] In addition to Arena Ciudad de México, Triplemanía XXX will be held in Estadio de Béisbol Monterrey and Estadio Caliente Xoloitzcuintles.[5] Triplemanía XXX will be the second Triplemanía event held outside of Arena Ciudad de México during the 2020s and the third outside Mexico City since 2007.

Triplemanía is the company's biggest show of the year, the AAA equivalent of WWE's WrestleMania or New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Wrestle Kingdom event.

Storylines

Triplemanía XXX will feature an undetermined number of professional wrestling matches across the three nights, with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers will portray either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they engage in a series of tension-building events, which will culminate in a wrestling match.[6][7]

During a press conference on January 25, 2022, AAA announced that Triplemanía XXX would be themed around the Ruleta de la Muerte tournament in which eight luchadores enmascarados will wrestle in a series of matches where the losers will advance to a Lucha de Apuestas Mask vs. Mask match on the third day of the event.[5] The participants of the tournament where revealed to be Último Dragón, Blue Demon Jr., Psycho Clown, Pentagón Jr., L. A. Park, Villano IV, Canek, and Rayo de Jalisco Jr.[5]

During a press conference on March 19, 2022, AAA announced that an Elimination Steel Cage match featuring multiple luchadoras enmascaradas would occur at the Triplemanía XXX: Tijuana event.[8] The last two luchadoras who do not escape from the cage will compete in a Lucha de Apuestas Mask vs. Mask match.[8] The participants in the match were revealed as Lady Shani, La Hiedra, Flammer, Chik Tormenta, and Sexy Star II.[8]
