Angel & Daga vs. Dominik Mysterio & El Grande Americano

[8.0] "This match sets the tone for the run-up to Triplemania. They're following the classic playbook for storylines and portraying Dirty-Dom as a total asshole, who's also paired with Omos to make sure nothing goes wrong leading up to the double-header in November. The match is pure overbooking, though to both teams' credit, they consistently strive to maintain structure, present plausible tags, and simply never let the match settle down. You don't have to like it, but in my opinion, it's never boring, so--taking into account the numerous impacts, twists, and run-ins--I'm rounding up to give it even eight points."

[8.0] "This was a throwback to wilder times, back when pro wrestling 101 could still light a fire under a crowd. The pudding was definitely overegged, but there wasn't a dull moment and every little twist & turn provoked the desired heartfelt reaction ****"

[8.0] "The story of the moment. Dom and Vikingo forced to team up against the biggest threat of the moment. Los Perros used heel tactics (isolating an opponent, knocking an opponent onto the ropes, grabbing their foot, begging not to hit them). Vikingo and Dominik managed to team up for a good while. We were treated to a ref bump and some interference. The ending is definitely surprising and many didn't see it coming."

[8.0] "Pretty great match overall. I think El Grande getting pinned 3x in a minute was over doing it. Also, really overselling by saying Bravo was 20 feet up. I liked the reveal of Dom teaming with Omos at the end though."

[8.0] "A really good main event match, and all the wrestlers put up their best. We all guessed Dom would turn on El Grande; however, the reveal that he was allied with El Ojo was unexpected."

[9.0] "****1/4. Great main event, and glad to see Dom solidified as a heel instead of a tweener in the AAAverse. Los Perros looked great and Daga looked better than I thought he would."

[7.0] "A fun match all around. There was a lot of overbooking, as is traditional in AAA, but it was never bad or too distracting--just good content to fuel this rivalry. The action was cool. Americano is a star."

[9.0] "Hell of a main event match. The Undertaker booked Angel & Dominik Mysterio better than what Triple H does to both of these men. I thought Dominik Mysterio was going to be revealed as the leader, but he aligned himself with Dorian & Omos. El Grande Americano fell for the trick."

[8.0] "A genuine delite full of great spots and really picked up in the later third and went from good to great"

[8.0] "This was a very fun tag team match with an engaging story throughout. There was always the question off wether Dom would be revealed as a member or the leader of Los Perros only for him to side with El Ojo. The match itself got very convoluted towards the end but I enjoyed it. Los Perros winning is the right call as well"

[8.0] "It was a delightful celebration for wrestling fans. The two main faces of the company, who will have a grand match in a few months, teamed up to face the main threat to the promotion. The match was emotional, and there was a sense of excitement for the face team. The storyline ending with Dom's betrayal added an extra layer of excitement to the match. El Grande fought like he was in his last battle, and he was almost ready to pass the tag to his partner, but Dom betrayed him, and Americano was unable to defend himself against his opponents. It's a great play on the fans' emotions, backed up by good wrestling."

[8.0] "What a TV main event; even before everything goes off the rails, it was shaping up to be a really great match (and considering the talent involved, that's no surprise), but as the insanity went on, it became more and more fun and things went all crazy with the rest of Los Perros del Mal coming out, and then Los Americanos coming out to stop that interference. Everyone got their moment to shine, and it felt like such a great exhibition of what wrestling can be; even without knowing all the backstory, you'd know exactly what was happening. The swerve by Dom, not joining Los Perros del Mal, but joining Dorian and Omos in El Ojo, was a nice twist and a heel turn (even if Dom was already a heel). ****1/4"
