Dominik Mysterio to defend AAA Mega Championship at Triplemania 34 amid WWE creative debate

Dominik Mysterio will defend the AAA Mega Championship against El Grande Americano at Triplemania 34, which will be held over two nights: Night 1 on September 11 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nevada, U.S., and Night 2 on September 13 at the Arena CDMX in Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, Mexico. He is heavily featured in promotional material for the event.

Since his WWE debut, “Dirty Dom” has been presented as a heel and a member of Judgment Day and has earned strong crowd reactions, with the article noting he “even managed to defeat John Cena in his final PLE match.” The piece reports Dominik has voiced frustration with his creative direction after moving from that high to a Human Monies on a Pole match against Danhausen at SummerSlam, a PLE described as having no major storyline consequence.

The report highlights a contrast in presentation between AAA and WWE, saying there is a “noticeable difference between how important Dominik feels in WWE and how important he has been presented in AAA.” It states Dominik currently stands as the top star of Lucha Libre AAA and is the reigning AAA Mega Champion, and he will put that title on the line at Triplemania 34.

On-ring strengths are outlined in the article, which says Dominik has “solid timing and reactions as a heel” and can perform in comedic segments, attributing his entertainment value to an “ability to play an obnoxious, cowardly heel.” The write-up also asserts that comedy has become his entire presentation on the main roster.

The piece critiques his recent WWE usage, noting Dominik frequently revolves around Judgment Day members and participates in matches and feuds involving Liv Morgan and other stablemates, with the account adding that “the constant losses label him as a jobber, not the next main eventer.” It argues WWE does not need to replicate his AAA character wholesale or immediately put a world title on him, suggesting instead that his actions should carry greater consequence in WWE’s biggest storylines.

The article records Dominik’s prior WWE accomplishments and current status: he has held the Intercontinental title and the WWE Tag Team titles (with Rey Mysterio) on the main roster, but he “currently does not hold any title on the main roster.” It also notes the editorial point that many of WWE’s current top names “have crossed 40 and are pushing 50,” and lists “Dirty, Oba Femi, Bron Breakker, and Stephanie Vaquer” among next-generation performers mentioned in the piece.

Dominik Mysterio’s next confirmed appearance is the AAA Mega Championship defence against El Grande Americano at Triplemania 34 next month on September 11 and September 13 at the venues specified above.
