Dominik Mysterio Headlines AAA Main Event With 1 Uneasy Ally Before September Title Match

Q: What secret deal did Dominik make with Dorian Roldan before betraying El Grande Americano at Verano de Escandalo?

There is no confirmed public detail on any specific “secret deal” Dominik Mysterio made with Dorian Roldan before the betrayal. What is established by the event and follow-up reporting is that Dominik had already arranged an alliance with Roldan and Omos before he turned on El Grande Americano at Verano de Escándalo. After leaving Americano without the tag, Dominik appeared on stage and formally aligned with them, strongly indicating the agreement was pre-planned rather than a spur-of-the-moment decision. The apparent purpose of that arrangement was storyline positioning on the road to Triplemanía. Reports tie Dominik’s move to Dorian Roldan’s ongoing feud with Rey Mysterio, including Dorian’s earlier threat against Rey and his anger over the Latin American Championship situation involving Omos and Hijo del Vikingo. In that context, recruiting Dominik looks like part of Dorian’s broader retaliation scheme against Rey while also giving Dominik protection and a villainous alliance heading into Triplemanía. Some coverage also noted that Dominik had reassured El Grande Americano before the match by talking up their potential Mega Championship showdown at Triplemanía, but no source provided terms of any backstage bargain with Dorian beyond the visible post-match alliance. So the most accurate answer is that the exact terms of the deal remain undisclosed; only the alliance itself and its likely motive have been made clear.

Q: How will Rey Mysterio respond to his son aligning with the very men who threatened him earlier tonight?

Rey Mysterio is most likely to answer with a mix of personal outrage and official action, using his AAA authority to escalate the conflict toward Triplemanía rather than treating this as a private family matter. That response is strongly signposted by what happened earlier in the night. Rey had already refused to be intimidated when Dorian Roldán and Omos confronted him over the vacant AAA Latin American Championship and threatened consequences. Dominik then closing the show by siding with those same men turns the issue from a simple betrayal of El Grande Americano into a direct attack on Rey’s position and credibility as general manager. The most plausible next step is that Rey publicly denounces Dominik’s alliance and moves to counter Dorian’s group through matchmaking. AAA’s current direction points toward Triplemanía, and the promotion now has two obvious tracks: Rey against Dominik in a father-versus-son grudge match, or Rey helping set the table for Dominik’s AAA Mega Championship clash with El Grande Americano while also confronting Dorian and Omos. There is already outside speculation around a final Rey-Dominik showdown at Triplemanía 34, and the angle now gives AAA a clear storyline reason to go there. Even if Rey does not wrestle immediately, he is unlikely to stay passive. Based on how he handled Omos earlier, he is expected to respond defiantly, reject Dorian’s pressure again, and frame Dominik’s move as both a betrayal of family and an assault on AAA authority.

AAA set Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano to headline Verano de Escandalo in Aguascalientes against two members of Los Perros del Mal, with the match airing live in week one.
Dominik framed the alliance as self-preservation after Los Perros debuted by attacking El Grande Americano, saying he wants his September AAA Mega Championship defense at Triplemania to happen with both men intact.
Trust remains the central storyline tension: Dominik has betrayed El Grande Americano before, and the promotion is openly leaning into whether the heel is protecting his future challenger or setting up another turn.
The card also advances AAA's wider Triplemania build, including three-way qualifiers for the vacant Latin American title after Hijo del Vikingo's knee injury forced him to relinquish the belt.
