AAA Sets January 2 Acapulco Show, Speculation Builds On Card

AAA has confirmed that its first show of 2027 will take place on January 2 at Arena GNP Seguros in Acapulco, Mexico, a venue capable of holding up to 12,000 fans. The announcement has already set off plenty of speculation about which storylines the promotion might pay off on such a large stage.

One of the more obvious candidates is some form of blow-off involving Las Toxicas. Flammer’s Reina de Reinas Championship reign, which lasted more than 1,000 days, ended at TripleMania, leaving La Hiedra as the only member of the trio still holding gold. With Maravilla unable to keep the peace between her stablemates, a three-way confrontation between Flammer, La Hiedra and Maravilla feels like a natural fit for a show of this scale.

WWE’s growing integration with AAA since acquiring the promotion last year also raises the possibility of main-roster talent appearing on the card. IYO SKY, who recently took part in a Money in the Bank qualifier on Raw alongside La Catalina and Roxanne Perez, is currently pursuing the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Should she capture the title before January, Acapulco would be an opportunity to build a reign with real crossover stakes by putting her in the ring with a top AAA star like La Catalina — a matchup fans have been wanting since that qualifier aired.

On the men’s side, El Grande Americano successfully defended the AAA Mega Championship against Dominik Mysterio in a rematch at Heroes Immortales, with Omos inserting himself into the storyline by trying to help Dominik before Rey Mysterio intervened. That sets up a logical next step of Omos challenging for the Mega Championship, a pairing that would likely draw a heavily pro-champion crowd given Omos’ size and the babyface momentum El Grande Americano has built.

Then there’s the lingering question of Rey Mysterio’s in-ring future. Reports have suggested Rey could be considering retirement in 2027, echoing the situation last year when AJ Styles was expected to wrestle into the back half of the year before ultimately closing out his career in January instead. If Rey’s timeline follows a similar path, a mask-versus-hair match against his son Dominik in Acapulco would be exactly the kind of emotionally charged, legacy-driven showdown capable of moving serious tickets.

None of this is confirmed booking — AAA has only locked in the date and venue so far — but each of these threads lines up with storylines already in motion, making Acapulco a show worth watching as 2027 approaches. With WWE continuing to lean into its AAA partnership, expect more clarity on the actual card as the promotion edges closer to the new year.
