where a dull period between big shows continues and AAA manages to give Demon his title match but not his title.
Recapped: 05/28/2015
Previously: Fantasma and Texano won their selection matches. La Secta got the better of Jack & Angelico. Chessman and Demon had an unresolved title match issue.

Mistica on Averno.
It looked like a sell out or close to it for a much bigger name show than the usual IWRG show (much less than usual IWRG Wednesday show.) They set up things for a return date but didn’t announce one.
CMLL hasn’t published results from Guadalajara on Tuesday, but has mentioned Rey Bucanero kept the NWA Light Heavyweight Championship over Diamante Azul. The story told here and in on Informa is Azul has been wrestling regularly while in Europe. It’s possible, but there’s not a single report of him doing os.
This week’s WON mentions TNA made a big pitch to Rey Mysterio Jr. about joining them, telling Rey they’d build the company around him, open doors from him to do other media projects and let him do whatever he wants on the days they don’t use him (so he wouldn’t necessarily be exclusive.) The note mentions it’s still more likely he goes to Lucha Underground, but that remains unsigned. I wonder what they told Rey about their TV situation
NJPW put up Friday’s main event, Ingobernables (Rush, Sombra, Naito) vs Volador, Valiente and Diamante Azul.
All Elite held a press conference for next Sunday, mostly focusing on Atlantis & Octagon teaming in Arena Mexico for the first time in 23 years. The promoter, Erensto Santillan, said this show would be considered a ‘friendly’ and no points would accumulate in it’s Liga Elite standings. They’re going to make changes to the format since some people (Super Nova mentioned) are no longer available. LA Park & Dr. Wagner are also mentioned as unsure for going forward, which may be why All Elite has a lot of mystery people. Santillan said they’d have an update in a few days, and the CMLL recap of the press conference says the mystery people will be announced on Saturday. It’s very strange to see CMLL previewing an event with Fuerza Guerrera and Octagon.
The commercial for Arena Coliseo Guadalajara airing locally this Saturday shows highlights of the All Elite show there from April. I don’t think that video’s turned up prior.
An article on the 07/10 All Elite show in Queretaro mentions Mistico will be one of Volador’s partners. Both of his partners (and both of his opponent Silver King’s partners) were previously listed as surprises. Tickets went on sale yesterday.
Ring of Honor’s Ray Rowe will be part of the 07/19 ChilangaMask Coliseo Coacalco.
SuperLuchas talked to Amenaza Elegante, who revealed Octagon actually gave him the OK to use the name a long time ago (and apparently forgot about it). He’s just not allowed to use it on AAA shows.
Accion MX has a bio of Chihuahua’s Wild Cat, who talks about his career, saying he wrestled in AAA as As de Chihuahua.

I was too busy trying to record the Terra feed to actually watch the first two matches, but I rated them when they air on Cadena3. Matches are going to show up twice when they air twice like that.
I think I’m going to probably skip doing recaps of the AAA TV shows when they already air on PPV, figuring I’ve already wrote enough about the show when it aired live and there’s no a lot more add 2-3 weeks later (and posted 4-6 weeks later.) There’s usually only a minute or two of new material. Hopefully no one desperately needs me to write down match times.
