Background

2019 marked the 27th year that the Mexican

professional wrestling company Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (Triple A or AAA) has held their annual flagship Triplemanía show and the 31st overall Triplemanía show promoted by AAA (AAA promoted multiple Triplemanía shows over the summers of 1994 to 1997). Since the 2012 event, Triplemanía has taken place at the Arena Ciudad de México (Mexico City Arena), an indoor arena in Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, Mexico that has a maximum capacity of 22,300 spectators.[2] Triplemanía XXVII is the eighth consecutive Triplemanía (XX, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, XXV and XXVI) held at the venue.[3][4][5] AAA's Triplemanía is their biggest show of the year, AAA's equivalent of WWE's WrestleMania or New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Wrestle Kingdom
event.

Storylines

Triplemanía XXVII featured eight professional wrestling matches, with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers portray either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they follow a series of tension-building events, which culminate in wrestling matches.

El Hijo del Fantasma to unmask. After the match, Rey Wagner came to the ring and challenged L.A. Park to bet his mask at Triplemanía XXVII, a challenge that was accepted by L.A. Park.[6] However, in October 2018, L.A. Park left AAA, citing his unhappiness with how the company was treating him. On October 26 at Héroes Inmortales XII, Blue Demon Jr. betrayed Rey Wagner during Wagner's match against Jeff Jarrett, which Wagner still won.[7] In December, Blue Demon Jr. continued to cement his role as Rey Wagner's rival. On February 10, Wagner emerged victorious against Blue Demon Jr. in a Street Fight and that same night, challenged Demon to a Lucha de Apuestas, a challenge that was not answered at the time. On February 27, AAA announced that Blue Demon Jr. and Rey Wagner will face off in a Luchas de Apuestas as the main event of Triplemanía XXVII.[1]

In February 2019, former

trios match pitting Velasquez, Psycho Clown, and Cody Rhodes against Los Mercenarios (Texano Jr. and Taurus
) and a surprise partner was signed for Triplemanía XXVI.

In early February 2019, The Lucha Bros. (Fénix and Pentagón Jr.) appeared at the AEW rally in Las Vegas where they confronted and attacked the company's executive vice presidents The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson). On February 23, at AAW Wrestling's The Art of War event, the Jacksons attacked Fénix and Pentagón. On March 16 at Rey de Reyes, The Young Bucks defeated The Lucha Bros. to win the AAA World Tag Team Championship and on May 25, at Double or Nothing, successfully defended their titles in a rematch. On June 16 at Verano de Escándalo, The Lucha Bros. regained their titles in a rubber match. On June 29 at Fyter Fest, Laredo Kid teamed with The Lucha Bros. unsuccessfully against The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega. On July 2, AAA announced that a rematch of the Fyter Fest trios match was signed for Triplemanía XXVII.
