In a thrilling Street Fight at AAA’s marquee event TripleManía XXXIII, Psycho Clown and Pagano successfully dethroned WWE’s Los Garza (Berto and Angel) to reclaim the AAA World Tag Team Championship. The victory marked a significant moment as the titles returned to AAA after a 62-day reign by the WWE-affiliated Los Garza team, whose run had seen two successful defenses, including one on WWE SmackDown earlier this month[1][2][4].
This highly anticipated clash was one of the night’s main highlights. Los Garza had captured the titles back in June at TripleManía Regia in a competitive four-way match featuring the former champions Sanson and Forastero, as well as Pagano and Psycho Clown themselves alongside Nic Nemeth (formerly WWE’s Dolph Ziggler) and Ryan Nemeth. However, their reign, though impressive, came to a brutal end under extreme Street Fight stipulations in front of a roaring crowd at TripleManía[1].
The closing moments of the match were nothing short of spectacular. Pagano showcased his hardcore prowess by wrapping barbed wire around Berto, immobilizing him just long enough to deliver a devastating maneuver on Angel outside the ring. Meanwhile, Psycho Clown culminated the encounter with a picture-perfect Spanish Fly off the top rope onto Berto, securing the pinfall and the championship victory for the team[2][3].
This win marked the second AAA World Tag Team title reign for both Psycho Clown and Pagano, though their original reigns came with different partners — Pagano teamed with El Mesías, while Psycho Clown held the titles previously alongside Negro Casas. Their reunion and renewed partnership clearly paid off, as they stood tall alongside their iconic allies Murder Clown, Dave the Clown, and Monster Clown post-match to celebrate the reclamation of AAA gold[1][2].
According to sources close to the promotion, the decision to have Psycho Clown and Pagano recapture the titles reflects AAA’s intention to reinforce their homegrown stars amid growing WWE influence in the division. A WWE insider explained, “AAA wants to emphasize their original talents while still acknowledging the benefit of having crossover appeal with WWE stars like Los Garza”[1].
The victory also carries broader significance for both performers. Psycho Clown continues to cement his legacy as one of AAA’s most beloved and resilient luchadores, combining charismatic showmanship with a ruthless fighting style. Meanwhile, Pagano brings his signature hardcore edge and versatility, fusing styles that resonate deeply with AAA’s passionate fanbase. The pairing’s chemistry was on full display in this brutal, action-packed contest that captivated fans worldwide[3][4].
Fightful’s Andrew Thompson remarked in his post-event coverage, “The Street Fight stipulation was the perfect setting for these two to reclaim the titles in dominant fashion. Psycho Clown and Pagano left no doubt as to who truly belongs atop the AAA tag division”[2]. WWE’s official channels also highlighted the match’s intensity, sharing clips of the barbed wire segment and the finishing Spanish Fly, celebrating the new champions alongside the wider wrestling community[3].
Looking forward, fans and insiders alike anticipate a heated rivalry between Psycho Clown & Pagano and Los Garza. The latter’s exposure on WWE programming adds an intriguing dynamic, suggesting possible future cross-promotional encounters or even title defenses mixing AAA’s luchador style with WWE’s global reach. As this story develops, AAA and WWE collaborations could shape the tag team landscape across multiple promotions[1][2].
In summary, the AAA World Tag Team Championship match at TripleManía XXXIII delivered unforgettable moments and a symbolic passing of the torch back to one of Mexico’s most iconic teams. Psycho Clown and Pagano’s victory not only thrilled the live crowd but also reinforced AAA’s commitment to showcasing its legendary talent while maintaining exciting international storylines. This win is certain to set the stage for compelling tag team action in the months ahead.
