Three-Way Match Added To AAA On FOX To Determine Latin American Title Contender

AAA has added a three-way match to Saturday night’s AAA on FOX card, with the winner earning a shot at the vacant AAA Latin American Championship.

The title was vacated after El Hijo del Vikingo suffered a knee injury that requires surgery, leaving him unable to defend the belt. AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio said more details would be provided on how the promotion plans to crown a new champion, and Saturday’s addition appears to be the first step in that process.

Vikingo has been one of AAA’s biggest stars and a fixture at the top of the promotion’s championship scene, so losing him to injury creates a notable void in the Latin American Championship picture. Rather than simply hand the title to a single new challenger, AAA is using the three-way match to help sort out who deserves the next opportunity at gold.

AAA on FOX airs Saturday, July 18, and further specifics on the three participants and the broader plan for the vacant championship are expected to be addressed as the promotion moves forward without its injured champion. Fans will be watching closely to see who steps up to fill the gap left by Vikingo’s absence.
