AAA, a Mexican lucha libre company owned by TKO, ends its year in Guadalajara on Saturday, 19 December 2026. The show is called Guerra de Titanes, Spanish for War of the Titans.
Guerra de Titanes is AAA’s annual year-end show, and this year it plays Arena Guadalajara on Saturday, 19 December 2026. WWE’s official event page lists a 7:00 p.m. start and links to the ticket seller Superboletos.
That start is 8:00 p.m. on the US East Coast, so American fans can follow it live in the evening. No match card, US broadcaster or price list has been confirmed yet.
What Guerra de Titanes Is
Lucha libre is Mexican professional wrestling, known for masked fighters, fast aerial moves and team matches. AAA, short for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, is one of the best-known companies in the sport.
Fightful calls Guerra de Titanes the annual finale of the AAA calendar, announced on Thursday, 17 September 2026. AAA said only that the night would feature rivalries among its stars and named no matches.
Wrestling Inc. noted in 2025 that TKO, the company that also owns WWE, bought AAA. WWE’s website lists Guerra de Titanes, but names no WWE wrestlers for it.

In Plain English
- Lucha libre: Mexican wrestling, with masks, acrobatics and loud crowds.
- AAA: the Mexican wrestling company that stages the show, now owned by TKO.
- WWE: the US wrestling giant that lists the event on its website.
- Superboletos: the Mexican ticket seller linked from WWE’s event page.
- Arena Guadalajara: a new indoor arena that opened in October 2025.
What to Expect at a Lucha Libre Show
Fighters are called luchadores, and many wear masks that are central to their identity. Matches are often played in teams of three, and the crowd chants throughout.
Heroes are called técnicos and villains are called rudos, and fans pick sides loudly. A first-time visitor does not need to speak Spanish to follow the story in the ring.
Wrestling Inc. reported last year, citing PWInsider, that WWE was planning a big promotional push for the 2025 edition of the show. Whether 2026 gets the same treatment has not been announced.
How Last Year’s Show Looked
The 2025 edition took place on Saturday, 20 December 2025, at Arena Guadalajara. Wrestling-Online says it was headlined by Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano against Rey Fenix and Rey Mysterio.
Rey Mysterio is a WWE Hall of Famer and a name well known to US fans. Nothing confirms that any of those four will appear in 2026.
Solowrestling reported that the 2025 show streamed free on the official WWE and Lucha Libre AAA YouTube channels. That is the best guide to 2026, but it is not a promise.
Schedule and Start Time in US Time
WWE’s event page lists a 7:00 p.m. start on Saturday, 19 December 2026. Jalisco keeps Central Standard Time all year, so that is 8:00 p.m. US Eastern and 5:00 p.m. Pacific.
The listings do not say whether 7:00 p.m. is the door time or the first bell. Organisers have not published a running order, so plan for a long evening.
The date falls six days before Christmas Day, so flights and hotels may fill early. Hotel prices for that weekend were not checked for this guide.
How to Watch in the US
Neither WWE nor AAA has confirmed a US broadcaster or stream for the 2026 show. Solowrestling says a free YouTube stream is expected in the United States, but does not call it confirmed.
Solowrestling adds that AAA is expected to show the event on Fox in Latin America. That channel serves Latin America, so US viewers should not count on it.
Wrestling Inc. reported in August, citing Dave Meltzer, that both nights of AAA’s Triplemanía 34 would air live on YouTube. That makes a live stream plausible for December, though it is not guaranteed.
If the show streams live, the 8:00 p.m. Eastern start would suit a Saturday evening at home. Check WWE.com and the AAA channels in December for the final plan.
Tickets and How to Buy Them
Tickets are on sale at Superboletos, the Mexican seller that WWE’s event page links to. AAA announced on 17 September that tickets were already on sale.
Wrestling-Online lists prices from MXN 440 (about US$24) to MXN 11,090 (about US$593). The Superboletos page showed no prices when opened for this guide, so treat that range as unconfirmed.
Conversions use the open.er-api.com rate of 24 October 2026, when US$1 bought MXN 18.69. Booking fees and final prices may differ at checkout.
Buy only through the Superboletos link on WWE.com or from AAA’s own channels. Resale sites and social media sellers can sell fake or duplicate tickets.
The listing does not show how many seats remain in each zone. Buy tickets before you book flights or hotels that cannot be refunded.
About Arena Guadalajara
Arena Guadalajara opened in early October 2025 with a Maroon 5 concert, the Guadalajara Reporter said. The opening followed months of delays, according to IQ Magazine, so check venue notices before you travel.
WWE’s event page places the show at Arena Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Jalisco. The street address and parking were not confirmed, so check the Superboletos page before you go.
Outlets give the capacity as 20,000 to 22,000 people. Which sections will be open for a wrestling show has not been published.
Getting to Guadalajara and the Arena
Guadalajara’s airport, code GDL, lies about 17 km southeast of the city centre, Mexico Travel and Leisure says. A normal drive takes 25 to 35 minutes, and rush hour can stretch it to 50.
The airport has a prepaid taxi booth inside the arrivals hall, so there is no fare to negotiate. The same guide warns against people in branded vests who approach you before the booth.
It lists Uber fares to the historic centre at MXN 130 to 200 (about US$7 to US$11). Authorised taxis cost MXN 280 to 360 (about US$15 to US$19).
No match-night shuttle or train link to the arena was confirmed. Arrange your ride home before the last match ends.
Safety and Costs for Visitors
The US State Department publishes a travel advisory for Mexico that rates each state, including Jalisco, where Guadalajara lies. The current page could not be opened for this guide, so read the latest level and details at travel.state.gov before you book.
Whatever the current level, share your itinerary with someone at home and check a taxi’s plate before you ride alone. Avoid night driving, keep watches and jewellery out of sight, and leave the arena with other fans.
Entry Rules for Visitors
Entry rules depend on your passport and can change, and an official page could not be checked for this guide. Check the rules of Mexico’s immigration institute and your airline before you book.
Carry a valid passport and keep any entry form you are given until you leave. Border officers decide the length of each stay at the airport.
What It Means for You
Tickets are on sale now, but no price is confirmed, so set your budget only after you see the seller’s page. A trip would also need flights to GDL, a hotel and local rides.
If you only want to watch, wait for the broadcast announcement, since a free YouTube stream is expected but unconfirmed. If you travel, read the Jalisco advisory first.
What Is Not Known
No match card, headline match or wrestler has been announced, and Rey Mysterio’s role is unconfirmed. No US broadcaster or stream is confirmed for Saturday, 19 December 2026.
The Superboletos page showed no prices, fees or seat map, and door times are not published. The arena’s street address, parking and match-night shuttles were not confirmed.
Hotel prices and flight availability for the weekend were not checked. No change to the date or venue has been announced.
What Comes Next
Watch WWE.com and AAA’s social channels for the match card and the broadcast plan. Prices, fees and seat availability at Superboletos can change before the show.
