After plentiful speculation, the Lucha Brothers are finally reuniting. The only catch is, at least for now, that the reunion is in AAA rather than in WWE.

At this past weekend's AAA Alianzas, AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano defeated Dragon Lee and El Hijo del Vikingo in the main event, complete with Vikingo cementing his heel turn - having leaned into the boos more in recent weeks - by walking out on Dragon and leaving him to be put away with a 619 from Mysterio and a loaded headbutt from Americano.

Post-match, Dirty Dom cut a promo, but was interrupted on the video screen by Rey Fenix and Penta, with the Lucha Brothers challenging Mysterio and El Grande to a tag team match at AAA Guerra de Titanes on 20 December. That challenge has since been accepted, making the match official.

Real-life brothers, Fenix and Penta have teamed together as far back as 2015, competing for the likes of TNA, MLW, and PWG before landing in AEW in 2019. There, the Lucha Bros. won the AEW Tag Team Titles and held the AEW Trios Titles with Pac as part of Death Triangle. By the time Fenix and Penta next team up, it'll be approaching 18 months since they last tagged, which was a win over Private Party on a July 2024 episode of AEW Rampage.

Whether this Lucha Brothers reunion makes its way over to WWE TV remains to be seen, but that tandem would immediately give a shot in the arm to the tag team ranks, with the Raw tag division feeling particularly lacking right now.
