TripleManía XXXIII didn’t just live up to its legacy—it crushed it.
WWE and AAA issued a joint statement confirming that the August 16, 2025, event shattered records across the board, turning Arena CDMX in Mexico City into the epicenter of lucha libre history. According to WWE’s official press release, the show became the most-watched, most profitable, and most socially viral TripleManía of all time.
“TripleMania XXXIII, Mexican lucha libre promotion AAA’s largest annual event, became the most-viewed and highest-grossing TripleMania in event history.”
The stream, which aired globally across WWE and AAA’s YouTube channels, pulled over 4.3 million viewers in just the first 24 hours. That included a peak live concurrent audience of 614,000—an unheard-of number for a YouTube wrestling broadcast.
On the ground, the crowd was just as loud. 19,691 fans packed into Arena CDMX, making it the highest-attended lucha libre show in Mexico this year. According to WWE, it also set AAA’s all-time gate record.
“With a crowd of 19,691 at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City this past Saturday, TripleMania marked the highest attendance for any Mexican lucha libre show this year and set AAA’s all-time gate record.”
Merchandise sales hit a new high too, with more revenue pulled in from shirts, masks, and collectibles than any AAA event in history. The buzz didn’t stop there. Online, #TripleMania was the No. 1 trending topic in both the United States and Mexico on Saturday, and content tied to the event racked up a staggering 208 million views across WWE and AAA’s social platforms.
“A record 208 million views were generated across official AAA and WWE social platforms.”
The card itself was loaded with chaos. El Hijo del Vikingo retained the AAA Mega Championship in a four-way match with Dragon Lee, Dominik Mysterio, and El Grande Americano. Pagano & Psycho Clown dethroned Angel & Berto for the AAA Tag Team Titles, and El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. claimed the Latin American Championship by defeating El Mesias.
The 2025 edition also carried historic weight, marking the first TripleManía since WWE and Mexico-based holding company Fillip officially acquired AAA on August 1. Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s decision to stream the event on YouTube—completely free—clearly paid off.
TripleManía XXXIII didn’t just break the mold. It rewrote the book on what’s possible when Mexican lucha libre meets global wrestling muscle.
