Dominik Mysterio defended his AAA Mega Championship against El Grande Americano in the main event of TripleMania 34 Night Two. After weeks of bad blood, the two finally settled their differences inside the squared circle, with the biggest prize in AAA Lucha Libre on the line.

Americano kicked off the match at a pace, but “Dirty” Dom gained momentum midway, making the bout more competitive.

Mysterio soon introduced the title belt to inflict serious damage on Americano. But things went El Grande’s way, as he introduced weapons himself.

Seeing the title slipping from Dominik’s hand, JD McDonagh appeared and attacked Americano, but Los Americanos ran in to take out JD. Omos also showed up to help Mysterio, but El Grande managed to put the Nigerian Giant away with a low blow.

In the final moments of the match, El Grande Americano accidentally knocked out the referee. Seizing the opportunity, Mysterio attempted to hit El Grande with the title. However, Americano recovered in time and executed his finisher on Dirty Dom.

Despite being banged up from his match against Omos on night one, Rey Mysterio ran in as a special guest referee. He counted three, and Dominik did not kick out, and a brand-new AAA Mega Champion was crowned

In this article, we will take a look at three reasons why Dominik Mysterio lost his AAA Mega Championship to El Grande Americano:

#3. Nothing left in Dominik Mysterio’s reign

Dominik Mysterio’s reign as the AAA Mega Champion ended after 366 days at TripleMania 34 Night Two. During his lengthy reign, he defended the strap three times, which is not a good look for AAA’s major championship, and Dirty Dom didn’t have much else to offer as the Mega Champion.

Therefore, AAA’s Creative may have decided to finally take the title off The Judgment Day member and put it on a hungrier star who has something new to offer as champion.

#2. To have a dedicated champion

Dominik Mysterio is primarily a WWE Superstar; he features on Monday Night RAW more often and makes only surprise appearances at AAA Lucha Libre.

The brand crowned Dirty Dom AAA Mega Champion to get eyeballs on the product, and with his 350-plus-day reign, Dominik has made the strap more popular with a larger number of fans.

AAA may have thus shifted its focus to getting a more dedicated champion for the brand, and El Grande Americano has been the top guy for quite some time. Americano could defend the title more often and represent the belt better, even on the weekly shows.

#1. WWE might have other plans for Dominik Mysterio

Now that “Dirty” Dom has been rid of the burden of being AAA Mega Champion at TripleMania 34 Night Two, where he dropped the title to El Grande Americano, WWE may have other plans for him on Monday Night RAW.

There have been ongoing rumors regarding the breakup of The Judgment Day. With both Mysterio and Liv Morgan losing their titles, JD, Raquel Rodriguez, and Roxanne Perez could betray the couple and kick them out of the faction.

This would lay the groundwork for Dominik Mysterio and Liv becoming a babyface couple on the red brand, waging war against their former faction.
