El Grande Americano beats Dominik Mysterio to win the AAA Mega Championship at Triplemanía 34

El Grande Americano won the main event of the second night of Triplemanía 34 in Mexico City, defeating Dominik Mysterio and becoming the new AAA Mega Champion.

According to Bleacher Report, his career headed toward this moment after a successful year in lucha libre: he earned the right to a title shot at Rey de Reyes in March and then settled his rivalry with the original El Grande Americano in a mask-vs-mask match at Noche de Los Grandes in May, where the opponent was revealed as Chad Gable. After that feud, the focus shifted to the quarrel with Dominik and the race for the title, which ignited when Mysterio abandoned him during a tag match and later enlisted Dorian Roldán and Omos to strengthen his advantage.

In the months before Triplemanía, El Grande Americano managed to win over the crowd with strong performances, while Dominik came into the match as the holder of a year-long reign and ready to use every tactic to keep the belt. Yet in Mexico City, Grande achieved the biggest victory of his career and was greeted with enthusiasm by the fans.

As Bleacher Report reports, this victory marks the culmination of a journey that began with the opportunity at Rey de Reyes and the many confrontations that put him in front of the big names of the lucha libre scene.
