El Patron (Alberto del Rio) opened Triplemania tonight with his father Dos Caras and he gave a scathing speech about the WWE and the monster he encountered called racism but didn’t go into any other details before Konnan and his cronies came out to confront him leading to El Patron running them out of the ring.
El Brazo & Rayo de Jalisco Sr. were both inducted in the AAA Hall of Fame tonight at Triplemania which I must have missed all of those Rayo Sr. matches in AAA. Rayo Jr. was there of course to accept on behalf of his father. Perro Aguayo Jr. came out and ran down Rayo which led to a battle before Blue Demon Jr. helped Rayo run out the Perros.
The big news of the show actually came after the main event where Rey Misterio Jr. sent in a taped video talking about starting in AAA and then the feed went off so we don’t really know what all he said afterwards.
Jeff Jarrett & Ricochet both missed Triplemania tonight due to issues with their airline providers and both apologized on Twitter. Jarrett said that he never missed a show in 28 years because of travel problems.
