# 2026 Mexican professional wrestling events > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/mistico-knee-injury-and-recovery > Updated: 2026-08-08T15:45:17.000Z. Sources: 36. Developments: 19. CMLL’s June 5 “Viernes Espectacular” in Arena México saw Místico return from a knee injury to team with Máscara Dorada and Neón, while an AEW‑CMLL showcase added international talent. The promotion later announced its June 12 Arena México card, featuring the debut of Tiger Mask and a Mexico‑Japan rivalry match, and confirmed the July 3 Friday Spectacular headlined by Atlantis, Místico and Máscara Dorada. AAA’s schedule intensified: a June 13 televised show from the Gimnasio Olímpico highlighted a mixed‑tag title defense, and the June 20 Mérida event marked the violent re‑formation of Los Perros del Mal, which ambushed El Grande Americano and set up a feud that continued on the July 11 live broadcast, where Dominik Mysterio intervened and Mini Vikingo earned a cruiserweight title shot. Dominik Mysterio’s storyline pivot was cemented at Verano de Escándalo (July 25, Arena Marcos) when he formed an alliance with Omos and promoter Dorian Roldán, abandoning El Grande Americano and demanding the vacant AAA Latin American Championship. This transition included joining the faction El Ojo. As AAA's Verano de Escándalo concludes on August 8, the promotion features a Reina de Reinas Championship match between Flammer, Lady Shani, and La Catalina. Dominik Mysterio, the AAA Mega Champion, is scheduled to defend his title against El Grande Americano at Triplemania 34 in Las Vegas on September 13. Mysterio remains reportedly dissatisfied with his creative direction on WWE’s RAW, desiring a more serious presentation that matches his championship status in AAA. This frustration follows recent losses to Danhausen at SummerSlam and on RAW, leading to speculation that WWE booking may be reacting to Mysterio's social media activity. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-08: Dominik Mysterio reportedly frustrated with WWE booking compared to AAA Dominik Mysterio is reportedly frustrated with his WWE booking compared to his serious presentation as the AAA Mega Champion in Mexico. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/dominik-mysterio-reportedly-frustrated-with-wwe-booking-compared-to-aaa ### 2026-08-07: AAA and WWE announce tournament and major event updates AAA and WWE are advancing major storylines, including the conclusion of Verano de Escándalo and a tournament for a title shot against Roman Reigns in Mexico City in 2026.
