Fans of Lucha Libre were thrilled by AAA’s first live event on FOX in January, but the announcement of a second taping has sparked concerns about the stability of their new TV arrangement.
As reported by Lucha Blog, AAA has scheduled its second recording during the FOX era for February 7, 2026, in Queretaro, Mexico. Historically, the company has frequently canceled events in January and February since 2015, with exceptions made during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the second taping seems to be a solid follow-up to the January 17th launch in Mexico City, there is a notable issue.
The three-week interval between the initial and subsequent events has raised concerns regarding the future of AAA’s FOX deal. Instead of delivering the anticipated weekly live shows, it appears AAA might revert to its traditional method of delaying broadcasts and recording multiple events in a single session.
"It’s a typical January/February hiatus for AAA… The gap of three weeks after the Jan. 17 FOX debut suggests that the television approach is quite limited."
One possibility is that AAA plans to bundle several shows into one night for later airing, rather than providing live action weekly. For veteran fans accustomed to this model from networks like Space and Televisa, this brings back frustrating memories.
"The first scenario indicates that viewers may find themselves in the same repetitive cycle as seen with Space & Televisa, which is disappointing for fans. While this might be AAA’s only feasible option, fans rightfully expect complete programming, and it’s crucial for AAA to set those expectations accurately."
A less probable alternative is that AAA and FOX might entirely forgo the weekly format, opting for sporadic live broadcasts instead.
"Fox could air complete AAA events live, but at irregular intervals, rather than on a weekly basis."
This approach could allow for significant one-time events, but it presents certain risks. As highlighted by Lucha Blog, wrestling promotions have generally avoided this structure since continuous weekly shows cultivate fan loyalty and appeal more to advertisers.
At this point, neither AAA nor FOX have disclosed the official format, schedule, or length of episodes. If the current trends continue, fans might have to prepare for more pre-recorded content than they anticipated.
For AAA to successfully grow with FOX’s partnership, it will need to establish consistency, not merely produce high-quality content. As things stand, the future is uncertain.
What are your thoughts? Should AAA fully commit to weekly live broadcasts, or is a pre-recorded setup acceptable as long as it airs? Share your opinions in the comments below.
Fan Take: This news is significant for wrestling aficionados as it highlights AAA’s struggle to adapt to modern broadcasting expectations. The potential shift back to pre-recorded events could hinder audience engagement, ultimately impacting the growth and sustainability of Lucha Libre in North America.
