Rey de Reyes 2012 Rey de Reyes 2012 , is a professional wrestling pay - per - view ( PPV ) event produced by Asistencia Asesoría y Administración ( AAA ) , that will take place on March 18 , 2012 , at " Auditorio Benito Juárez " in Zapopan , Jalisco , Mexico . The event is the 16th event produced under the " Rey de Reyes " name and also the 16th time that the Rey de Reyes tournament will be held . Background . The event featured several 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 ( " Técnicos " in Mexico ) as they follow a series of tension - building events , which culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches . AAA ' s previous major event , Guerra de Titanes on December 16 , 2011 , ended with Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . , El Texano , Jr . and Toscano making their debuts and forming the " rudo " stable " El Consejo " , with the three posing as invaders from rival promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre ( CMLL ) . Before the end of the year , " El Consejo " established themselves as the third major group , outside of both AAA and " La Sociedad " , by attacking both " technicos " and " rudos " . On January 21 , 2012 , former CMLL wrestlers Mortiz and Semental turned on AAA and joined " El Consejo " , becoming its fourth and fifth member . On February 10 , " Real Fuerza Aérea " member and former CMLL wrestler Argos turned on his real - life brother Argenis and helped " El Consejo " beat down members of his former stable . Later that same day , " El Consejo " approached El Hijo del Perro Aguayo , the leader of " Los Perros del Mal " and another former CMLL wrestler , and pointed out that since " Los Perros " had originated in " El Consejo " , the two groups should join forces . However , Aguayo refused the offer , pointing out that " El Consejo " had attacked his stablemate Halloween back in December , eventually leading to a brawl between the two " rudo " stables . During February , the storyline continued with " El Consejo " first invading AAA offices and then hacking the promotion ' s official website , which eventually led to AAA president Marisela Peña Roldán agreeing to give the group a match at " Rey de Reyes " . On February 23 , it was announced that at " Rey de Reyes " , " El Consejo " would face a team led by Dr . Wagner , Jr . in a six man tag team match and if the invaders were defeated , they would be banned from all future AAA events . " Rey de Reyes " will feature the finals of the annual " Rey de Reyes " tournament . In the first round of the tournament , sixteen wrestlers were divided into four four - way elimination matches , with the winners meeting each other at " Rey de Reyes " in another four - way elimination match . The tournament started on February 23 , when " Los Perros del Mal " member Héctor Garza defeated Heavy Metal , Joe Líder and Toscano , scoring the last elimination over Toscano , when members of " El Consejo " attacked Garza and caused a disqualification . Later that same night , El Hijo del Perro Aguayo defeated Cibernético , Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . and a surprise entrant , the returning Juventud Guerrera , with help from interfering Garza , who attacked Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . , and Chessman , who attacked Guerrera , following the orders of " La Sociedad " co - leader Konnan . Guerrera had left AAA in March 2009 , after a legitimate backstage incident with Konnan and Jack Evans . During the months between Guerra de Titanes and " Rey de Reyes " , Jack Evans and El Hijo del Perro Aguayo continued their rivalry , which had started the previous November . On December 20 , 2011 , Evans teamed with El Mesías to defeat Aguayo and Héctor Garza in a tag team match , once again pinning Aguayo for the win . The two teams had a rematch on January 21 , 2012 , where Aguayo pinned Evans for the win . Afterwards , Aguayo claimed that Evans had no heart and kept kicking him . After Evans repeatedly refused to stay down , Aguayo finally acknowledged his rival ' s guts and exited the ring . On February 3 , Aguayo announced that he was tired of wrestling with Evans and declared that they would not meet again in the ring , unless Evans was able to defeat him . In the following tag team match , where Aguayo and Halloween faced Evans and Extreme Tiger , Aguayo ' s overconfidence eventually led to Evans pinning him for the win . On March 2 , Evans defeated Chessman , El Texano , Jr . and Nicho el Millonario to qualify for the finals of the " Rey de Reyes " tournament , scoring the last elimination over El Texano , Jr . , following interference from Dr . Wagner , Jr . , who was attacked by " El Consejo " earlier in the event . That same day , AAA Latin American Champion L . A . Park defeated Electroshock , La Parka and Silver King to earn the last remaining spot in the finals of the " Rey de Reyes " tournament and become the third member of " Los Perros del Mal " in the match . During the months between Guerra de Titanes and " Rey de Reyes " , Park continued to have problems with the rest of " La Sociedad " , especially Konnan , who was forced to pay a $ 300 , 000 fine for damages caused by Park ' s out - of - control behaviour . The situation escalated on March 2 , when Park grabbed " La Sociedad " leader Dorian Roldán , after he was told to kiss Karen Jarrett ' s feet as an apology for the recent problems between him and Karen , the manager and wife of AAA World Heavyweight Champion and " La Sociedad " member Jeff Jarrett . However , the rest of " La Sociedad " quickly managed to separate Park from Roldán . One of the top matches of " Rey de Reyes " , will see Jeff Jarrett defending the AAA World Heavyweight Championship against El Mesías , who earned the right for the challenge by defeating Jarrett ' s fellow Total Nonstop Action Wrestling ( TNA ) workers A . J . Styles and Rob Terry in back - to - back matches at Guerra de Titanes . In storyline , Jarrett , who has not made an appearance for AAA since Héroes Inmortales on October 9 , 2011 , will be forced to return to the promotion and defend his title by TNA president Dixie Carter , who claimed that the Jarretts were hurting TNA by their actions in Mexico . The undercard of the event , will feature a twelve person elimination steel cage match , where the last person left in the cage will either be shaved bald or unmasked . The match will include three " Mini - Estrella s " ( midget wrestlers ) , three male wrestlers , three female wrestlers and three " exoticos " ( male wrestlers with transvestite characters ) . The undercard will also see Cibernético continue his rivalry with La Parka by leading his " Los Bizarros " stable to a six man lumberjack match against a " La Sociedad " team , led by La Parka . The match is billed as the final battle in the rivalry , which started in November 2010 .
