The legendary Perros del Mal faction has been reborn in AAA, and it wasted no time making its presence felt on the promotion’s biggest stage.
During the main event segment of the June 20 episode of AAA on Fox, the reformed Perros del Mal group set its sights on El Grande Americano, who was in the ring celebrating his victory from Noche de Los Grandes. The American star used the moment to announce his intentions to chase Dominik Mysterio’s AAA Mega Championship, turning what was meant to be a celebration into a flashpoint.
The Perros del Mal name carries enormous weight in lucha libre history. Originally built around the late El Hijo de Perro Aguayo, the stable was one of the most feared rudo factions in Mexican wrestling for years. Its revival — now featuring new members — signals that AAA is leaning into that legacy to create a credible antagonist force for some of its top stars.
El Grande Americano’s path to Dominik Mysterio’s title is now complicated by this new threat. Mysterio has been one of AAA’s most prominent champions, and any challenger will need to navigate whatever obstacles the rebooted Perros del Mal choose to place in their way.
With AAA on Fox serving as the promotion’s primary television platform, this storyline appears positioned as a centerpiece heading into whatever comes next on the calendar. How the newly constituted Perros del Mal fits into that landscape — and who exactly makes up the faction’s new roster — will be worth watching closely in the weeks ahead.
