Dominik Mysterio successfully defended the AAA Mega Championship against the Original El Grande Americano during the May 11, 2026 [1] episode of WWE RAW.
The match marks a significant shift in the professional wrestling landscape by integrating a major international title into WWE's weekly televised programming. This integration follows the transition of AAA into the WWE corporate umbrella, which occurred in April 2025 [5].
The contest was the result of a storyline involving Mysterio and Liv Morgan, who interrupted El Grande Americano prior to the bout [3, 4, 5]. This confrontation led directly to the title defense on the RAW broadcast, which was televised across several platforms including the USA Network, Netflix, and Peacock [1, 2, 3, 4].
This event represents the first time the AAA Mega Championship has been defended on WWE main-roster programming [4]. The match highlights the increasing crossover between different wrestling promotions and the centralization of championship assets under a single corporate entity.
Mysterio's victory ensures he remains the champion of the AAA organization while continuing his role within the WWE main roster. The match is noted for creating a unique intersection in title history involving both WWE and AEW [2].

The defense of the AAA Mega Championship on RAW signals a deeper operational integration between WWE and AAA. By featuring a third-party championship on its flagship show, WWE is leveraging the global brand recognition of AAA to expand its own storytelling and title prestige, effectively consolidating international wrestling assets under one promotional banner.
