Dominik Mysterio retained his title but suffered a severe head injury after defeating former champion and challenger El Hijo Del Vikingo in an unscripted No-Disqualification match at the AAA Rey de Reyes 2026 event on March 15. The stakes were exceptionally high for both competitors, as losing would have resulted in Mysterio's departure from All America Wrestling (AAA), yet he emerged victorious despite sharing social media photos of his bloody scalp and busted-open head following the bout held earlier that evening at Puebla Arena Mexico City.
