Rey Fenix Reclaims AAA World Cruiserweight Title

The win ends Laredo Kid’s 539-day reign and places Fenix back at the center of AAA’s cruiserweight storylines.

Overview

  • Rey Fenix defeated Laredo Kid to win the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship in the opening match of Noches de Los Grandes in Monterrey on May 30, 2026.
  • Fenix finished the match with a Mexican Muscle Buster to secure the pin and the title after a back-and-forth bout.
  • The match featured repeated rule-breaking by Laredo Kid, including removing a turnbuckle pad and attempting low blows, which reporters say factored into the finish.
