Production

Background

In April 2019, it was announced that Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide would be running a show at Madison Square Garden. [4] During the press conference for the MSG show, AAA speculated about future events in the United States. On June 19, it was announced that AAA would be holding a second U.S. event at The Forum on October 13. [2] The event was later rescheduled for an unannounced date.

Storylines

The show will feature an unrevealed number of professional wrestling matches, with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers portray either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they follow a series of tension-building events, which culminate in wrestling matches.
