Triplemanía XX Triplemanía XX was a professional wrestling event produced by the Asistencia Asesoría y Administración ( AAA ) promotion , which took place on August 5 , 2012 , at " Arena Ciudad de México " in Mexico City , Mexico . The event was the twentieth annual " Triplemanía " , which is AAA ' s biggest show of the year , and marked AAA ' s debut in the new " Arena Ciudad de México " . The event was headlined by a match between Dr . Wagner , Jr . and Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . , where the loser was forced to unmask himself . In the semi - main event , El Mesías defended the AAA World Heavyweight Championship against the 2012 Rey de Reyes , El Hijo del Perro Aguayo . The event also featured Total Nonstop Action Wrestling ( TNA ) performer Kurt Angle ' s AAA debut and an induction into the AAA Hall of Fame . This event marked the first time in four years that a " Triplemanía " was not broadcast live on pay - per - view . Instead , the event would be broadcast in three parts on AAA ' s official website , starting August 19 . The event was attended by 21 , 000 people , the largest crowd for a professional wrestling event in Mexico in almost five years . Background . The event featured seven professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre - existing scripted feuds , plots and storylines . Wrestlers portray either villains ( referred to as " rudos " in Mexico ) or fan favorites ( " technicos " in Mexico ) as they follow a series of tension - building events , which culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches . Dr . Wagner , Jr . , who wrestled his third Mask vs . Mask match at TripleMania XX . At AAA ' s previous major event , " Rey de Reyes " on March 18 , 2012 , " rudo " stable " El Consejo " picked up their first win in AAA , when Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . , El Texano , Jr . and Toscano defeated Dr . Wagner , Jr . , Electroshock and Heavy Metal in a six man tag team match , with Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . pinning Wagner , Jr . for the win , following interference from " < nowiki > El Consejo ' < / nowiki > " s masked accomplice El Hombre de Negro . In the weeks that followed " Rey de Reyes " , Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . kept making challenges towards Wagner , Jr . for a singles match , while " El Consejo " as a whole also feuded with Chessman , Silver King and Último Gladiador of " rudo " stable " La Sociedad " . This would , on April 30 , drive longtime rivals and real - life brothers , Wagner , Jr . and Silver King to make peace with each other and team up against Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . and El Texano , Jr . After losing as a result of another interference from El Hombre de Negro , the brothers shook hands to signal the end of hostilities between the two . On June 1 , Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . pinned Wagner , Jr . in a rematch from April 30 and afterwards challenged him to a Mask vs . Mask " Lucha de Apuestas " , which Wagner , Jr . accepted and named " Triplemanía XX " as the place , where he wanted the match to take place . A third match between Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . and El Texano and the Wagner brothers took place on June 16 and ended with " El Consejo " picking another win with help from El Hombre de Negro , who during a post - match beatdown unmasked and revealed himself as Máscara Año 2000 , the legitimate father of Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . who on April 30 , 1993 , had lost his mask to Perro Aguayo in the semi - main event of the first " TripleMania " . In an interview on AAA ' s NotiAAA program , Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . accepted the Mask vs . Mask match for " TripleManía XX " and vowed to prove his family ' s superiority over the Wagner family by placing Wagner , Jr . ' s mask in his family ' s display cabinet . On June 30 , Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . defeated Wagner , Jr . in a singles match with help from his father , after which the Mask vs . Mask match was made official for " Triplemanía XX " . On July 27 at the final AAA television taping before " Triplemanía XX " , the promotion recreated a famous segment from 1993 , when Máscara Año 2000 hit Perro Aguayo with a glass bottle prior to their " Triplemanía " match , by having Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . hit Dr . Wagner , Jr . with a glass bottle to a win a No Disqualification match between the two , leaving his adversary bloodied in the ring heading into their Mask vs . Mask match . After defeating his rival Jack Evans at " Rey de Reyes " to win the 2012 " Rey de Reyes " tournament and earn the right to challenge for the AAA World Heavyweight Championship , El Hijo del Perro Aguayo recruited Teddy Hart into his " Los Perros del Mal " stable to take care of Evans so he could concentrate on chasing El Mesías for the title . On April 1 , Aguayo , along with his stable , attacked El Mesías with a steel chair . The attack was in storyline used to explain El Mesías ' three month absence from the ring due to a legitimate arm surgery . While El Mesías was recovering from his surgery , Aguayo kept busy by feuding with his close friend Cibernético . El Mesías made his return appearance on June 30 , accepting the match against Aguyao at " Triplemanía XX " and promising that he would be ready come August 5 . At the July 13 television tapings , El Mesías was set to speak about his status , but was interrupted by " Los Perros del Mal " . After surprising the " rudo " stable by removing his arm splint , El Mesías first disposed of Daga , Héctor Garza and Teddy Hart and then beat down El Hijo del Perro Aguayo , showing that he was ready for their upcoming title match . Afterwards , it was announced that Cibernético and Héctor Garza would accompany the champion and the challenger , respectively , to the title match , with Aguayo also announcing that he had a surprise waiting for AAA , hinting at the possible AAA debut of the tag team " Los Traumas " . One of the featured matches of " Triplemanía XX " saw three former tag teams of current rivals reunite and face each other in a " Parejas Suicidas " match . The first team is the former " La Familia de Tijuana " of Extreme Tiger and Halloween . Together , Tiger and Halloween held the AAA World Tag Team Championship from April to September 2008 , after which the team disbanded , when Halloween left AAA to join Perros del Mal Producciones . Halloween returned to AAA on June 6 , 2010 , at Triplemanía XVIII as a member of " Los Perros del Mal " and has ever since remained on the opposite side of Extreme Tiger , who turned " technico " during Halloween ' s time away from the promotion . The rivalry between Halloween and Tiger ignited in early 2012 , when the two ended up on opposite sides during the rivalry between Tiger ' s tag team partner Jack Evans and " < nowiki > Los Perros del Mal ' < / nowiki > " s leader El Hijo del Perro Aguayo . The second team in the match is the former Hart Foundation 2 . 0 of Jack Evans and Teddy Hart , who joined AAA together in early 2008 as representatives of the " rudo " stable " La Legión Extranjera " ( Foreign Legion ) . In May 2009 , the team disbanded with Evans turning " technico " , after which the two started feuding over the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship . The feud ended without a proper conclusion in early 2010 , when AAA suspended Hart indefinitely . Hart finally returned to AAA on March 18 , 2012 , at " Rey de Reyes " , and was on April 1 revealed as the newest member of " Los Perros del Mal " , taking over El Hijo del Perro Aguayo ' s feud with Evans as Aguayo moved on to chasing the AAA World Heavyweight Championship . The final team in the match is the former " La Hermandad 187 " of Joe Líder and Psicosis . After winning the AAA World Tag Team Championship from " La Familia de Tijuana " in September 2008 , Líder and Psicosis , then known as Nicho el Millonario , held the title for 18 months , becoming the longest reigning champions in AAA history , Even after losing the title , Líder and Nicho remained together as a " technico " team , feuding with the " La Sociedad " stable . In June 2011 , AAA , in storyline , suspended Nicho , after he interfered in a six tag team match at Triplemanía XIX , where Líder , Heavy Metal and Electroshock , replacing the previously injured Nicho , faced Chessman , Silver King and Último Gladiador . On July 16 , Nicho turned on Líder , believing that Líder had not stood up for him as he was , in his mind , being wronged by AAA . With Nicho joining " Los Perros del Mal " , he and Líder have had a bloody rivalry ever since . On April 6 , 2012 , the rivalry took another twist , when Líder burned Nicho ' s face with a fireball . Following the burning , Nicho began once again wearing his old mask and working under the ring name Psicosis , with the storyline being that Líder ' s fireball had not only severely burned Nicho ' s face , but the incident had also driven him insane . On July 11 , it was announced that the " Parejas Suicidas " match would be taking place inside a steel cage . At the following day ' s " Triplemanía XX " press conference , the team of Chessman and AAA World Cruiserweight Champion Juventud Guerrera was added to the match . Unlike the other teams in the match , Chessman and Guerrera have no prolonged history with each other , though they are on opposite sides in the battle between " La Sociedad " and AAA . In the months before Triplemanía XX , Chessman had been feuding with Vampiro , while Guerrera was busy with his former protégé Daga , who had turned on him and joined " Los Perros del Mal " . The losing team in the match would then face each other in a " Lucha de Apuestas " . If " La Familia de Tijuana " lost , the match would be a Mask vs . Hair match , in other cases it would be a Hair vs . Hair match . The third " Lucha de Apuestas " announced for " Triplemanía XX " saw AAA ' s chief executive officer Joaquín Roldán and his son , " La Sociedad " leader and AAA vice president Dorian Roldán , pick teams to face each other with the loser being shaved bald . Dorian made the challenge to his father on June 16 , and on June 30 revealed the first member of his team , former AAA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett , who also promised to bring " one of the biggest names to have ever come out of the United States " with him to " Triplemanía XX " . After Joaquín had revealed Electroshock as the first member of his team , he was approached by L . A . Park , who volunteered to become the second member of the team . After months of problems between the two , Park and Jarrett had finally ended their uneasy alliance at " Rey de Reyes " , where Jarrett first cost Park the " Rey de Reyes " tournament and Park retaliated by costing Jarrett the AAA World Heavyweight Championship . On April 30 , Park officially quit " La Sociedad " to continue his rivalry with Jarrett , but during the following weeks , had also made clear that he did not want to befriend any of the AAA " technicos " . After moments of hesitation , Joaquín eventually accepted Park ' s offer and named him the second member of his team at " Triplemanía XX " . On July 17 , Jarrett ' s fellow Total Nonstop Action Wrestling ( TNA ) worker Kurt Angle was revealed as the second member of Dorian Roldán ' s team . Other matches announced for the event include an eight man tag team match , where AAA representatives La Parka and " Los Psycho Circus " ( Monster Clown , Murder Clown and Psycho Clown ) face Parka ' s rival , " La Sociedad " member Octagón and " El Consejo " members El Texano , Jr . , Toscano and Semental . The rivalry between Parka and Octagón had started at " Rey de Reyes " , where Octagón turned on his longtime partner and kicked him out of " La Sociedad " . Another match announced for " Triplemanía XX " saw four lower - card rivalries grouped into one eight person tag team match . In the match , the " technico " team included female wrestler Faby Apache , male wrestler Fénix , " Mini - Estrella " Octagóncito and " exotico " Pimpinela Escarlata , while the " rudo " team included male wrestler Dark Dragon , " Mini - Estrella " Mini Charly Manson , female wrestler Sexy Star and " exotico " Yuriko . Event . Preliminary matches . The opening match of Triplemanía XX saw Dark Dragon , Mini Charly Manson , Sexy Star and Yuriko take on Faby Apache , Fénix , Octagóncito and Pimpinela Escarlata in an eight person tag team match . After all other wrestlers ended up on the floor outside the ring , following multiple dives , Apache won the match for her team , submitting Yuriko with an armbar . Following the opening match , AAA paid homage to the promotion ' s founder , Antonio Peña , while the ring crew set up a steel cage for the second match of the evening , a four - way " Parejas Suicidas " match , featuring the teams of Chessman and Juventud Guerrera , Extreme Tiger and Halloween , Jack Evans and Teddy Hart , and Joe Líder and Psicosis . The match was contested under escape rules , with all eight participants starting inside the cage and after only one is left inside , that person will then wrestle his partner in a " Lucha de Apuestas " . Psicosis allowed Halloween to climb to the top of the cage , believing that he was going to dive back in onto his opponents , but instead Halloween betrayed his " Perros del Mal " stablemate and became the first man to escape the cage . Extreme Tiger and Jack Evans , former AAA World Tag Team Champions , worked together against Psicosis and Teddy Hart , the other two " Perros del Mal " members in the match , but were then attacked by Juventud Guerrera , swinging a garbage can . Guerrera then became the second man to escape the cage and was followed shortly afterwards by Tiger , who dove from the top of the cage outside onto Halloween and Guerrera . This meant that the former " La Familia de Tijuana " was the first team to successfully avoid the " Lucha de Apuesta " . This was followed by Psicosis turning on and attacking Líder , who had publicly announced prior to the event that he hoped to lose the " Parejas Suicidas " match to get a shot at Psicosis ' hair , before escaping the cage . Evans was the next to escape the cage , after avoiding Teddy Hart ' s attempts to stop him . Hart then climbed on top of the cage and dove onto Chessman and Líder with a moonsault , before climbing back up and escaping , saving himself and Evans from a Hair vs . Hair match and leaving only Chessman and Líder inside . Psicosis , realizing he was in danger of being forced to a Hair vs . Hair match , climbed up the cage and put his hand out to Líder , offering to help him up . Líder grabbed the hand and started to climb , but was dropped back down to the mat following a kick from Chessman , who then climbed to the top of the opposite side of the cage to become the last escapee , meaning that the former " La Hermandad 187 " partners were forced to a " Lucha de Apustas " later in the event . As Chessman celebrated at the top of the cage , the lights in the arena suddenly went out , leading to Vampiro making a surprise appearance and pushing his rival down from the top of the cage , dropping him through a set of tables on the floor of the " Arena Ciudad de México " . Afterwards , Chessman was stretchered out of the arena , while Vampiro showed his support for Líder in his upcoming match . Next up was Joaquín Roldán announcing the 2012 inductee into the AAA Hall of Fame , Perro Aguayo , whose son would battle for the AAA World Heavyweight Championship later in the event . Aguayo was interrupted by Máscara Año 2000 , who was accompanied by " El Consejo " member Argos . Máscara Año 2000 , remembering the match , where he lost his mask to Aguayo , challenged his former rival to a Hair vs . Hair match , who , however , turned it down . In the next match , Octagón teamed with " El Consejo " members Semental , El Texano , Jr . and Toscano against La Parka and " Los Psycho Circus " members Monster Clown , Murder Clown and Psycho Clown in a " Relevos Australianos " eight man tag team match . In the finish of the match , Octagón went for a low blow on La Parka , but accidentally caught Semental instead . Parka then rolled up the surprised Octagón for the three count and the win . After the match , " El Consejo " attacked Octagón , before being chased away by La Parka . La Parka then tried to convince Octagón to leave " La Sociedad " and re - join him , but Octagón instead just walked out . After La Parka also left the ringside area , " El Consejo " returned and attacked " Los Psycho Circus " . After a backstage segment featuring Dorian Roldán , Jeff Jarrett , Karen Jarrett , Konnan and Kurt Angle , the fourth match of the event saw Joe Líder and Psicosis face each other in a " Lucha de Apuestas " . Despite Psicosis announcing before the event that he would be betting his hair in case of a loss in the " Parejas Suicidas " match , it was announced that the match would be for Líder ' s hair and Psicosis ' mask . However , before the match began , Líder attacked Psicosis and ripped his mask off , revealing his burned face and forcing the match to be changed to a Hair vs . Hair match . Towards the end of the hardcore brawl , Líder threw a garbage can into Psisocis ' face as he was climbing to the top rope . However , when Líder went to suplex his opponent back down to the ring , Psicosis countered the move and dropped him with a flip piledriver through a table and a ladder , both propped up against the corner , and then pinned him to win the match . Afterwards , Psicosis continued the assault on his rival , dropping him onto a pile of thumbtacks , before having him shaved bald . After getting backstage , Líder and Psicosis continued brawling in the locker room , before being broken up by security . Main event matches . The fifth match of Triplemanía XX was also a Hair vs . Hair match , contested for the hairs of Joaquín and Dorian Roldán . Joaquin led his team of Electroshock and L . A . Park into the arena , followed by Dorian and his team of Jeff Jarrett and Kurt Angle . The " rudo " team was also accompanied by Karen Jarrett , Jeff ' s wife and the former wife of Angle . Towards the end of the match , as referee Piero was busy keeping Karen out of the ring , Dorian entered and attacked Electroshock , which led to also his father entering the ring and telling him to get out . Dorian looked like he was about to leave the ringside area , only to return with " La Sociedad " member and half of the AAA World Tag Team Champions , Abyss , by his side . After a hot tag , L . A . Park was in control of his opponents , which led to Abyss entering the ring , only for Park to dropkick him out and hit him with a suicide dive . At this point , Dorian again entered the ring , but was followed by Joaquín , who dropped his son with a clothesline . As Jarrett went for diving crossbody , Park moved , which resulted in him taking out referee Piero instead . Park rolled Jarrett in an inside cradle , but Piero was unable to make the count . Abyss then once again entered the ring and hit Park with a chokeslam . He went to perform the same move on Electroshock , but got hit with a cutter instead . Electroshock then countered Angle ' s finishing maneuver , the " Angle Slam " , into an arm drag , before hitting him also with the cutter . Electroshock pinned Angle , as Park jumped on top of him , and scored the three count for the win , forcing Dorian Roldán to have his head shaved bald . However , before the shaving took place , Joaquín asked his son to disband " La Sociedad " and return to AAA , which led to Dorian apologizing for his actions and agreeing to disband the " rudo " stable . Jarrett tried to protest , but was shut down by Electroshock . Joaquín then announced that he did not want his son to be shaved , drawing the ire of L . A . Park . Suddenly , Dorian attacked his father , while Jarrett and Angle did the same to Electroshock and Park . Dorian then shaved his father ' s head , before leading " La Sociedad " out of the ring . Park , infuriated by what had happened , went to AAA president Marisela Peña Roldán , the wife of Joaquín and the mother of Dorian , and told her that she should have never let Joaquín get his hands on Antonio Peña ' s company .

As Aguayo began bleeding heavily , the match was stopped for a moment as a doctor entered the ring to check on the cut on his head ; Aguayo , however , kept avoiding the doctor , not wanting the match to be ended . El Mesías then speared his challenger through a table for the win and to retain the AAA World Heavyweight Championship . Afterwards , Cibernético immediately climbed to the ring and jumped on top of the bloody Aguayo , mocking him , while El Mesías received his title belt .
