Dominik Mysterio proposed a partnership with El Grande Americano to face two members of the Perros del Mal stable in upcoming AAA action [1].
The alliance creates a volatile dynamic as the two wrestlers are scheduled for a title showdown at Triplemanía. Mysterio's decision to protect his future opponent suggests a strategic shift to neutralize the threat posed by the re-formed Perros del Mal group [2].
The development occurred during the July 11 [1] episode of AAA on FOX, filmed at Arena Potosí in San Luis Potosí, Mexico [3]. The sequence followed earlier tensions in Merida, Mexico, where members of Perros del Mal ambushed El Grande Americano [3].
During the broadcast, Mysterio intervened to save El Grande Americano from an attack by two Perros del Mal wrestlers [1, 2]. This rescue led to the proposal of a tag team pairing to counter the stable's aggression [2, 4].
This partnership contrasts with recent history between the two competitors. Reports indicate Mysterio previously defeated El Grande Americano on WWE Raw, establishing them as rivals [5]. However, the current situation in Mexico has forced a temporary truce to ensure both athletes reach their scheduled championship match in peak condition [2].
The move highlights the continuing crossover between WWE talent and Lucha Libre AAA, utilizing the high-profile presence of Mysterio to elevate the stakes of the Perros del Mal storyline [4].

This alliance serves as a narrative device to build tension before Triplemanía. By positioning Dominik Mysterio as a protector of his opponent, AAA and WWE create a 'common enemy' scenario that justifies a temporary partnership between rivals, ensuring the eventual title match has more emotional weight and stakes.
