Lucha Libre AAA’s Verano de Escándalo is shaping up to be one of the promotion’s more ambitious presentations of the year. The event is scheduled to run as a three-week special beginning on July 25 at Arena San Marcos, and AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio used the July 11 edition of AAA on FOX to formally announce three championship matches for the series.
Mysterio’s appearance on the weekly television program served as the platform for all three announcements, signaling that the promotion is treating the Verano de Escándalo run as a significant moment on the AAA calendar. While full details of all three bouts were not disclosed beyond the initial announcement, the decision to spread the event across three weeks suggests AAA is leaning into a format that allows each championship contest to receive its own spotlight rather than stacking them on a single card.
Verano de Escándalo is one of AAA’s marquee annual events, traditionally drawing strong interest from the lucha libre fanbase in Mexico. Hosting it at Arena San Marcos and stretching it across multiple weeks could give the promotion added flexibility in building each match and maximizing television engagement heading into what promises to be a busy summer stretch. With Mysterio installed as General Manager and actively making on-screen announcements, AAA continues to use his profile to drive attention to its major programming. More details on the three title bouts are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks as the July 25 start date approaches.
