(TGBH) Top of the morning folks! It's another Monday and I'm here to tell you im proud of you for waking up today and deciding to choose facken violence. You get out there and kick some mafacken ass my friend, they'll never know you're a king. The fed is throwing a tournament featuring our top luchadores available and it's good to see some talent get some real shine without Rey Mysterio hogging the spotlight. Looking at this bracket it's pretty obvious who gets the opportunity against Our Tribal Chief, but then again it once looked like Dragon Lee was set to win the Latin American Championship. Either way, we are set for some top of the line Lucha Libre action!

(PCM) Cool, let’s bring in the hottest brand you have in the company and let your toys fight for a chance to take on your top guy, knowing they will not win. Before you say it is for exposure, I disagree. Look at what AAA is doing this year. If it wasn’t for them, this would be a garbage year for WWE. Sucking their essence like Shang Tsung won’t make it better.
(DSS) What up everyone?! Are you sick of seeing me write yet with how quick we’re pumping out predictions blogs? That’s too damn bad, Kyle Knyx. I’m going to keep writing these predictions blogs and you’ll enjoy it because you know damn well I’m always right. And if I’m wrong, I should have been right. Unlike Mike up there…I have to say that this is just for exposure. AAA is putting on some of the best events, and they have some of the best in-ring talent in WWE, but these guys are 1000% going to benefit from having a main roster tournament and even being loosely connected to the name Roman Reigns. But yeah, Roman is keeping his title.
PreGame w/bWo:
Mexico City Number 1 Contender Tournament
Round 1
Penta vs. Laredo Kid
RAW 08/10/2026

(PCM) I like both these guys. Been high on Penta since Lucha Underground. The one TNA taping I went to I got a chance to see Laredo Kid and was impressed. So this match will be good. But with Penta likely going to the finals, LK has no chance.
(DSS) Penta is going to do to Laredo Kid the same thing he did to Chelsea Green: whoop some ass. It’s going to be a great match, and the luchadores are going to do their thing and show off for the fans, but there’s no way Penta drops this match. There’s no way Penta doesn’t win the tournament, if we’re being honest…Unless Psycho Clown gets a go at Roman, which would be fucking amazing.
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Penta via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Penta via Pinfall
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Penta via Pinfall
WINNER: PENTA
Psycho Clown vs. La Parka
AAA 08/15/2026

(TGBH) Behind the scenes, these two cats are cousins and the next generation of their Bloodline, for wrestling does indeed have more than one royal family. The fed loves their second and third generation stars and here we have the cream of the latest crop! Both of these stars have already respectively appeared on Smackdown and NXT, so you know they have some high hopes for this larger than life characters. However, Psycho Clown's got some beef to grill in AAA with the now revealed attacker of the Psycho Circus and that's what will cost him here, just like his match in the TripleMania Latin American Championship Qualifier. And since it will be on AAA television, this attacker will likely show his masked face again. With that in mind, it looks like my boy La Parka III will be advancing in yet another tournament, and I'll do La Parka's dance to that.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
La Parka III via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Psycho Clown via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Psycho Clown via Pinfall
WINNER: LA PARKA
Dragon Lee vs. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr.
RAW 08/17/2026
(PCM) Look for this to be the upset of the tournament. I like what I have seen from EHdDWJ; good solid work, makes me want to see more. But I think Dragon Lee goes over here. While DL is a lucha guy, I see him more as WWE than AAA, and as half of the people in this are WWE guys, Lee is the one least likely to win.
(TGBH) Yall, we really about to see the most beautiful mask in all of Mexico debut on Monday Night RAW. DAWG..... El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. is clearly someone the fed has big money cause this big cat is truly something special. I say it over and over and over, you dont need the next Rey Mysterio when there's such an amazing lineup of luchadores they can invest into and Wagner III is one of them. People get tired of the same old shit, and that's one reason they'll never have another Rey Mysterio. In fact, with this AAA roster playing out as well as it has, now is the time to push the stars from that brand to bring more eyes to that product. And so far it's worked. Rey Mysterio as GM is fine if he's not competing in AAA and keeps a popular face on TV, but they really gotta let these other guys run wild. Dragon Lee is another of those names that can one day be a popular main event superstar, just get him away from Rey Mysterio. It's hard to pick a winner for me here, both guys deserve to advance, and Wagner III vs. Reigns in Mexico City has dinero written all over it.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Wagner III via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Dragon Lee via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. via Pinfall
WINNER: DRAGON LEE
Rey Fenix vs. El Fiscal
RAW 08/17/2026

(DSS) This is how it’s going to happen, isn’t it? This tournament is going to come down to Penta and Rey Fenix. Don’t get me wrong, El Fiscal is going to show out for the main roster, and people are going to be excited to see this match once they realize what they’re getting into, but it’s going to be Rey Fenix headed to the next round.
(TGBH) You telling me we get to see La Parka III, Psycho Clown, Wagner III, and the son of Abismo Negro all competing to face off against the biggest dawg in the WWE's yard? There is so much legacy in the names of that sentence, and I never thought I'd see the day. El Fiscal is coming off a huge win to advance to TripleMania and he's gonna be riding that momentum into his glorious Monday Night RAW debut. However, the outcome to this tournament is only so obvious and I dont see them banking on El Fiscal to advance in two tournaments like La Parka III.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Rey Fenix via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Rey Fenix via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Rey Fenix via Pinfall
WINNER: REY FENIX
ROUND 2

(TGBH) Ay yoooo que onda mi gente? Waddup yall, and waddup with thee? We are back for some Round 2 action of a tournament that has been booked very well compared to other tournaments from earlier in the year that we aint gonna talk about. Nah son, today we talking Round 2, and both matches go down tonight!
Mexico City Number 1 Contender Tournament
Round 2
Penta vs. La Parka III
RAW 08/24/26

(TGBH) If this tournament wasn’t so painfully obvious, I would pick La Parka III here. Love both guys in and out of the ring but I just love La Parka III more and love this main roster exposure he’s receiving. Penta is probably the most popular superstar on the entire roster and should be the one to main event Raw in Mexico City against Roman Reigns. With such a big gap between premium live events, it’s gotta be in the cards to book a PLE style show for this momentous occasion. You can bet on both of these guys to put on a banger of a match tonight. Their unique styles will clash in a battle for the ages as two of WWE’s brightest stars battle it out for a chance at immortality.

The Great Brown Hope's Pick:
Penta via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike's Pick:
Darkstar Shady's Pick:
Dragon Lee vs. Rey Fenix
RAW 08/24/26

(TGBH) As obvious as the finals match up looks to be, I think we may get a surprise winner here. With getting Penta vs. Roman main eventing RAW, do we really wanna give away Penta vs. Rey Fenix on RAW the week before? Not only that, but Dragon Lee is starting to gain some real momentum and is a name that has been featured more and more over the last two years. I keep it saying, keep Dragon Lee as far away from Rey Mysterio as possible because as long as they dont, everything Dragon Lee does will be because of Rey Mysterio, not Dragon Lee. See what im getting at here? Dragon Lee has what it takes to microsoft excel on his own, and this match will be the one that pushes him to the next level and keeps him amongst the serious competitors in any division. Rey Fenix has been doing a hell of a job with the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship across the board on every single brand. Rey Fenix loses nothing with a loss here to Dragon Lee yet still gains even more star power in the process. This is the match that should main event RAW cause Dragon Lee has surely got next.
