Kenny Omega and El Hijo del Vikingo will run it back.
Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide announced that Vikingo will defend the AAA Mega Championship against AEW star Kenny Omega at AAA TripleMania XXXI: Tijuana on July 15. Omega and Vikingo first clashed on the March 22 episode of AEW Dynamite, where the former AEW World Champion emerged victorious in a non-title match.
Omega and Vikingo were set to face off in 2021, when Omega was the reigning AAA Mega Champion. However, he was forced to relinquish the title due to an injury, and Vikingo subsequently won the vacant title at AAA TripleMania Regia II.
The updated card for AAA TripleMania XXXI: Tijuana is below:
- AAA Mega Championship: El Hijo del Vikingo (c) vs. Kenny Omega
- Guerra de Rivalidades: RUSH & LA Park vs. Psycho Clown vs. RUSH & LA Park.
- Team Chilango (Negro Casas & TBA) vs. Team Baja (Nicho El Millonario & TBA)
Vikingo recently defended the AAA Mega Championship against Dralistico on the April 22 episode of AEW Rampage.
