Triplemanía 34 is an upcoming professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), in partnership with its parent company WWE. The event will take place across two nights. Night 1 will take place on Friday, September 11, 2026, at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nevada, United States (southwest of adjacent Las Vegas), while Night 2 will take place on Sunday, September 13, at Arena CDMX in Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, Mexico. It will be the 34th mainline Triplemanía event, the first to take place across multiple nights since Triplemanía XXXII in 2024, and the 48th and 49th overall shows held under the Triplemanía banner since 1993. It is also the first Triplemanía event in the United States since Triplemanía IV-A in 1996 and the first to be held outside Mexico since Triplemanía VIII took place in Tokyo, Japan in 2000.
Production
[edit source]Background
[edit source]
2026 will mark the 34th year that the Mexican professional wrestling company Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (Triple A or AAA) will hold their annual flagship Triplemanía show. Triplemanía is the company's biggest show of the year, the AAA equivalent of WWE's WrestleMania or New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Wrestle Kingdom event. As a two-night show, Triplemanía 34 will be the 48th and 49th overall Triplemanía shows 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 (Arena CDMX or Mexico City Arena), an indoor arena in Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, Mexico that has a maximum capacity of 22,300 spectators.[1][2][3][4]
On May 9, 2026, at Backlash, AAA's parent company WWE announced that Triplemanía 34 would take place across two nights. Night 1 was announced as taking place on Friday, September 11, at an unannounced venue and location, while Night 2 was announced as taking place on Sunday, September 13, at Arena CDMX in Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, Mexico.[5] On May 30 at Noche de Los Grandes, AAA initially announced Luxor Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada, United States as the location for Night 1,[6] but on July 30, WWE announced that Night 1 was moved to the larger MGM Grand Garden Arena due to high demand for the previously sold-out event.[7] Night 1 of Triplemanía 34 will be held the day before Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn, a boxing event (which will also be held in Paradise, Nevada) promoted by WWE and AAA sister company Zuffa Boxing, while Night 2 will be held as part of a WWE live event tour in Mexico, which will see the first episodes of Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown air from Mexico since 2011.[8][9]
Storylines
[edit source]Triplemanía 34 will feature professional wrestling matches, with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Results are predetermined by AAA's booking team and WWE's writers,[10][11] while storylines are produced on AAA and WWE events. The wrestlers will portray either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that play the part of the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they perform.[12]
On the June 27, 2026, episode of Lucha Libre AAA, AAA announced the Copa Bardahl at Triplemanía 34.[13]

On the August 22 episode of Lucha Libre AAA, AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio announced a gauntlet match at Ola de Calor for a shot at Flammer's AAA Reina de Reinas Championship at Triplemanía 34.[16]
