Background
Starting in 1997, the Mexican professional wrestling company AAA has held a major wrestling show late in the year, either November or December, called Guerra de Titanes ("War of the Titans"). The show often features championship matches or Lucha de Apuestas or bet matches where the competitors risked their wrestling mask or hair on the outcome of the match. In Lucha Libre , the Lucha de Apuetas match is considered more prestigious than a championship match and many major shows feature one or more Apuesta matches. The Guerra de Titanes show is hosted in a new location each year, emanating from cities such as Madero, Chihuahua City, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Jalisco and others. [1] In 2016, AAA moved the Guerra de Titanes show to January but in 2018 the show was held in December which continued with the 2019 event. [2]
On October 25, 2025, during Héroes Inmortales XVII, Rey Mysterio announced that Guerra de Titanes will take place on December 20, 2025, at Arena Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. [3]
Storylines
Guerra de Titanes featured several professional wrestling matches, with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed 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 culminated in wrestling matches.

At WWE Worlds Collide on September 12, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. successfully defended the AAA Latin American Championship against NXT North American Champion Ethan Page in a fatal four-way match, although Page was not pinned. After the event, Page and Wagner continued their rivalry, culminating in a Day of the Dead match at NXT Halloween Havoc, where Page retained his title. At AAA Alianzas on November 2, Page attacked Wagner after his successful title defense and announced that he will face Wagner for the AAA Latin American Championship at Guerra de Titanes.
