Verano de Escándalo (

Lucha Libre AAA World Wide (AAA) promotion. The show is as the name indicates a summer show, traditionally held in September. The first show was held in 1997 and since then twenty-two events have been held, the more recent ones generally presented on pay-per-view while the early shows were shown as Television specials on the Televisa channel.

It is generally seen as the smallest of the five major shows AAA puts together every year. The most recent event was the 2015
event, the seventeenth overall Verano de Escándalo in the series.

Production

Background

In September 1997 Mexican

company Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, later known as simply AAA and then Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, added a new major event to their schedule as they held the first ever Verano de Escándalo ("Summer of Scandal") show on September 14, 1997.[16] The Verano de Escándalo show became an annual event from 1997 until 2011, usually held in September, with few exceptions. In 2012 AAA changed their major event schedule as they pushed Triplemanía XX to August instead of holding the show in June or July as had been the case up until 2012.[17] With the change to the schedule AAA did not hold a Verano de Escándalo show in 2012 and 2013. In 2014 the show was put back on the schedule, but held in June instead, filling the void left when Triplemanía was moved.[18] AAA did not hold a Verano de Escándalo in 2016, instead holding the Lucha Libre World Cup in June.[19] A Verano de Escándalo show was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic
. The 2022 Verano de Escándalo show was the 22nd show in the series.

Storylines

The 2023 Verano de Escándalo show featured six professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing, scripted feuds, plots, and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed 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 followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
