AAA Verano de Escándalo To Be A Three-Week Event, Mini Vikingo’s Breakout Run Continues

Before one of AAA’s biggest summer events gets underway, three championship matches have officially been announced for Verano de Escándalo.

The three-week Lucha Libre AAA Verano de Escándalo special kicks off on July 25 from Arena San Marcos, with multiple titles set to be defended throughout the event.

During the July 11 episode of AAA on FOX, AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio revealed three championship matches that will headline the special, confirming a stacked lineup for the annual showcase.

You can check out the updated lineup for Verano de Escándalo below:

* AAA World Cruiserweight Championship: Rey Fenix (c) vs. Mini Vikingo
* AAA Reina de Reinas Championship — Triple Threat Match: Flammer (c) vs. Lady Shani vs. La Catalina

There is also going to be an AAA World Mixed Tag Team Title match at Verano de Escándalo. Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana are the reigning champions, and their opponents will be determined via a tag match featuring La Hiedra and Laredo Kid versus Joaquin Wilde and Faby Apache.

Mini Vikingo’s breakout run in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide continued in impressive fashion on Friday night.

The July 11 episode of AAA featured a Triple Threat Match to determine the next challenger for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship, with Dragon Lee, Mini Vikingo, and Jack Cartwheel battling for the opportunity.

The fast-paced contest delivered plenty of high-flying action, with all three competitors coming close to securing the victory. In the closing moments, Dragon Lee countered Jack Cartwheel’s attempted hurricanrana into a Styles Clash. Before Lee could capitalize with the pinfall, Mini Vikingo soared into the ring with a spectacular 630 Splash, taking out Lee before pinning Cartwheel to score the win.

With the victory, Mini Vikingo has officially earned a shot at Rey Fenix’s AAA World Cruiserweight Championship. The title match is now set for the opening night of AAA’s Verano de Escándalo special on July 25.
