TripleSEM was a professional wrestling major show event produced in cooperation between Pro Wrestling Noah and AAA on September 3, 2007, held in Tokyo, Japan and shown live on Gaora TV. The show is so far the only joint NOAH/AAA promoted show, but as the companies still work together there is potential for further joint shows in the future. The show was held under NOAH's "Pro Wrestling SEM" banner, a subdivision of NOAH dedicated to training younger wrestlers. The main event saw Los Hell Brothers (Charly Manson, Chessman and Cibernético) (representing AAA) wrestle to a no contest against Mushiking Terry, Naomichi Marufuji and Ricky Marvin (representing SEM/NOAH).
