TripleMania XVII TripleManía XVII was a professional wrestling pay - per - view ( PPV ) event produced by the Asistencia Asesoría y Administración ( AAA ) promotion , which took place on June 13 , 2009 at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City , Mexico . It was the twenty - third event under the Triplemanía chronology . TripleManía XVII was the third TripleManía event to take place in Mexico City , and the second to take place in " Palacio de los Deportes " , site of the previous TripleManía XVI as well . The show drew close to 16 . 000 spectators , down from the previous years 19 . 000 spectators in the same venue . The TripleManía set reduced the capacity of the arena compared to the previous year but it was not a complete sell out . The show featured two main events , four undercard matches and one untelevised " dark match " . The first of two main event matches was a singles match for the AAA World Heavyweight Championship , a match that saw challenger Dr . Wagner , Jr . defeat the champion El Mesías to win the championship . The other main event was a special five on five Steel cage match where the storyline was the fight over control of AAA between Dorian Roldan and Konnan . Each side chose a team of five to represent them , with the winning team earning control of the company . On the night the team representing Roldan and AAA , El Hijo del Santo , La Parka , Vampiro , Octagón , and Jack Evans , defeated Konnan ' s team of Silver King , Chessman , Kenzo Suzuki , Electroshock , and Teddy Hart to return control of the promotion to Joaquin Roldan . Featured matches on the undercard included Alex Koslov defending the AAA Cruiserweight Championship against Extreme Tiger , Crazy Boy , and Alan Stone in a Hardcore match , " La Hermandad Extrema " ( Nicho El Millonario and Joe Lider ) defending the AAA World Tag Team Championship against Latin Lover and Marco Corleone . Finally the show featured an eight - man and a six - man tag team match . Results . Four Way Elimination Hardcore match eliminations Reception . Grita Radio reports stated that " In keeping with the general expectation , TripleManía XVII was a great event , especially the production , some of the wrestling left a divided opinion " . They also stated that the fans they polled while leaving the event gave the production a " 10 " out of 10 while the wrestling was rated a " 7 . 5 " out of 10 . The match between Dr . Wagner , Jr . and El Mesías was voted the " Super Luchas " Magazine " Match of the year " for 2009 . Aftermath . Following the loss in the main event Konnan was fired ( in storyline terms ) by Joaquin Roldan , disbanding " La Legión Extranjera " as a result . Konnan swore he would get revenge on AAA and that he would be back with a " surprise " . Konnan would eventually return , backed up by the reborn " La Legión " to fight against AAA . TripleManía XVII turned out to be El Hijo del Santo ' s only match for AAA as the two sides could not come to terms over a long term agreement . Over the summer of 2009 Dr . Wagner , Jr . had to contend with both the challenges of former champion El Mesías as well as new challenges from Cibernético . Cibernético had left AAA when Konnan took control of the promotion , vacating the World Heavyweight Championship in the process and only returned once Konnan was no longer in charge . Since he had not lost the title , but vacated it both he and El Mesías were given a chance to wrestle against Dr . Wagner , Jr . at the 2009 " Verano de Escandalo " which Dr . Wagner , Jr . won . The feud between Extreme Tiger and Alex Koslov continued beyond TripleManía XVII and saw Koslov turn " rudo " as part of the storyline . Koslov became a two time Cruiserweight champion at " Verano de Escandalo " 2009 .
