FTR to defend AAA Tag Team titles this December

FTR are returning to Mexico this December for a AAA Tag Team title defense.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Lucha Libre AAA announced that FTR will defend their AAA Tag Team titles against Dragon Lee & Dralistico in Acapulco, Mexico on Wednesday, December 28. Lee & Dralistico got the title shot by winning a four-way tag match at Triplemania XXX: Mexico City earlier this month.

FTR have been AAA Tag Team Champions since winning the titles from Penta El Zero Miedo & Rey Fenix on AEW Dynamite in October 2021.

FTR are also the current ROH and IWGP Tag Team Champions. On Dynamite this Wednesday, they’re facing Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland in a match where the winning team will earn an AEW Tag Team title shot.

FTR are set for action at NJPW’s Battle Autumn event in Osaka, Japan on Saturday, November 5. Their opponents for that show have yet to be revealed.

The announcement of FTR being in Mexico on December 28 means they’ll miss this year’s New Year’s Smash edition of Dynamite and the tapings for the New Year’s Smash episode of Rampage. AAA’s Dorian Roldan thanked Tony Khan for allowing FTR to come to AAA’s event.

Night of Champions is the theme of the December 28 Lucha Libre AAA event. The show is also set to feature El Hijo del Vikingo defending the AAA Mega Championship against Bandido.
