• Spoiler On Title Change At AAA Triplemanía Tonight
AAA Triplemanía XXXIII will take place tonight and the show will air on WWE’s YouTube channel at 9 PM EST. Corey Graves and JBL will be on commentary. Below is the match-card, featuring 10 WWE wrestlers in action:
– AAA Mega Championship: El Hijo del Vikingo (c) vs. WWE Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio vs. Dragon Lee vs. El Grande Americano
– AAA Reina de Reinas Championship: Flammer (c) vs. Faby Apache vs. Natalya
– AAA Latin American Championship: El Mesías (c) vs. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr.
– Street Fight for the AAA World Tag Team Championship: Los Garza (Berto and Angel) (c) vs. Pagano and Psycho Clown
– The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, and Raquel Rodriguez) vs. Mr. Iguana, Niño Hamburguesa, and NXT’s Lola Vice
According to Bodyslam, some within WWE and AAA are pushing for El Grande Americano to capture the AAA Mega Title, arguing that his growing bond with Mexican fans would boost both his career and the promotion. On the other hand, there are voices who believe Dominik Mysterio should be the one to take the spotlight instead, and walk out of tonight’s show as a double champion. Whatever happens, a new champion is expected to be crowned in the main event.
Also, WrestleVotes reported that there have been discussions about Omos showing up at this event. Omos last competed in WWE in last year’s Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal on SmackDown on April 5, 2024.

• Update on Karrion Kross’ Post-WWE Move
Now officially outside WWE following contract expirations on August 10, Karrion Kross and Scarlett have entered free agency. According to the Wrestling Observer, several promoters on the independent circuit report that the pair are demanding exceptionally high fees for their first bookings – ratcheting attention to their post-WWE value.
At the same time, the same indy promoters have growing doubt over whether their departure was a genuine exit or another plot twist in WWE’s long line of storyline-driven exits. Some believe the timing and circumstances suggest a calculated “work” rather than a definitive end to their WWE chapter.
Adding fuel to the fire, Kross acknowledged receiving a last-minute contract extension from WWE – but shared that it was revoked after he requested clarification on its value and terms.
Even as the speculation continues, fans can catch Kross and Scarlett live at The Big Event EXS in New York on November 15.
• Brian Knobbs at Risk of Losing His Leg
Brian Knobbs, known to wrestling fans as one-half of the legendary Nasty Boys, is now facing one of the most difficult battles of his life. In a deeply emotional update, the former WWF and WCW star revealed that a serious infection in his foot has returned – and doctors are now discussing the possibility of amputation.
Knobbs, who’s endured a long list of health struggles over the years, was hospitalized earlier in 2025 with dangerously low blood levels. At the time, an emergency blood transfusion saved his life. But the road to recovery hasn’t been easy – or cheap.
Now, Knobbs is turning to the wrestling community and fans for help. He’s launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover mounting medical costs and support his path to long-term healing. The response has already been powerful, with more than $31,000 raised. The funds will also assist his wife, Toni, who recently suffered a severe ankle injury after falling in their hotel room.
This heartbreaking update comes shortly after fellow WCW veteran Buff Bagwell had to undergo a leg amputation following years of health complications and more than 30 surgeries stemming from a 2020 car crash.
