Ethan Page and Chelsea Green arrived in Monterrey as challengers and left as champions — the Canadian duo captured the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship tonight at AAA’s Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) special at the Showcenter Monterrey, dethroning long-reigning titleholders La Hiedra and Mr. Iguana in a finish that immediately reshapes AAA’s mixed-tag landscape.
The match was the payoff to a storyline that began last week when Green publicly called out La Hiedra and Mr. Iguana and AAA formally added the match to the November 2 card. Page and Green — a pairing forged on WWE NXT this summer and already showing strong chemistry on TV — used crisp tandem offense, timely isolation spots, and a late surge of heel aggression to separate the champions and score the decisive fall. AAA’s broadcast and eyewitness reports show Hiedra and Iguana unable to withstand the Canadians’ cohesive teamwork, and the post-match fallout suggested the partnership in the corner may be broken: La Hiedra slapped Mr. Iguana after the loss, and NXT’s Lola Vice made a sympathetic ring appearance with Iguana.
Why this matters: La Hiedra and Mr. Iguana had carried the belts for well over a year, defending against numerous local and international challengers since capturing the straps in December 2024 — their reign was one of the longest in recent AAA mixed-tag history. Page & Green taking the gold not only ends that run but injects fresh cross-promotion intrigue: both competitors are tied to WWE programming (Green on the main roster/NXT appearances, Page a top NXT star and current NXT North American Champion), and their AAA reign opens storytelling possibilities on multiple fronts — U.S. television angles, AAA TV tapings, and potential future defenses against both Mexican and international contenders.
Context & build: Chelsea Green aggressively stoked this feud on social media, posting a challenge that AAA amplified, which led to the match being made for the Day of the Dead special. The pairing of Page and Green first hit TV this summer on NXT and quickly developed into a polished, cocky heel tandem; tonight’s victory validates WWE’s cross-promotional collaborations and gives both performers a high-profile international title to add to their resumes. For Ethan Page, who holds the NXT North American Championship, carrying the AAA mixed-tag gold simultaneously elevates his on-screen dominance and presents creative booking opportunities — including potential defenses in Mexico or multi-promotion dream matches.
Match dynamics & key moments (brief, spoiler-style recap)
• Early psychology: La Hiedra used ring-generalship and quick tags to keep Green on the defensive while Mr. Iguana showcased flash and crowd work.
• Mid-match swing: Page isolated Iguana after a sequence of chops and double teams, turning momentum with a brutal power sequence and a late-match running spot.
• Finish: A coordinated misdirection and finish sequence by Page & Green led to the pinfall. Immediately after, La Hiedra’s slap to Iguana suggested the title change will have personal consequences and a possible breakup storyline.
What this means for AAA and WWE storylines
• AAA gets mainstream attention: Bringing in WWE-affiliated stars to win titles is a statement — AAA gains international headlines and potential crossover viewers from WWE/NXT’s audience. Expect AAA to leverage television tapings and future cards to either build rematches or pivot into new programs featuring Page & Green as traveling champions.
• WWE/NXT booking options: With Page still NXT North American Champion and Green rising on the women’s scene, WWE has fuel for TV segments, vignettes, or eventual main roster implications if management wants to capitalize on the title legitimacy the duo now possesses. That could culminate in surprise call-ups, multi-show appearances, or interpromotional sting-type angles.
Historical note & title lineage
The AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship has seen several notable holders over the years, and La Hiedra/Mr. Iguana’s reign (since December 2024) was one of the longer contemporary runs. Page & Green joining that lineage immediately places them in AAA history and gives the promotion a new marquee international heel team to defend the belts.
Fan reaction & immediate buzz
Social channels lit up as news of the title change spread; wrestling reporters and outlets updated live-result feeds and analysis pieces within minutes of the finish. The combination of a surprise title change, a public slap-breakup angle between La Hiedra and Mr. Iguana, and the cross-promotion element has the wrestling community debating whether Page & Green will carry the titles on AAA tours or defend them back in the U.S. against homegrown or global challengers.
Looking ahead — three plausible next steps
1. Immediate rematch: AAA books an immediate rematch to cash in on the heat and the apparent split between the former champions.
2. AAA television storyline: La Hiedra seeks revenge while Mr. Iguana pursues a sympathetic redemption arc with help from emerging allies (e.g., Lola Vice).
3. Cross-promotion defenses: Page & Green defend the belts on AAA TV tapings and appear in WWE/NXT vignettes to tease their status, creating a transatlantic title scene.
Bottom line
Ethan Page and Chelsea Green’s victory for the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship is more than a title change — it’s a narrative catalyst. It breaks a long title reign, provides AAA with headline-grabbing star power, and gives WWE/NXT two performers holding international gold, which opens all kinds of booking and marketing doors. Expect AAA to build on tonight’s fallout, and expect Page & Green to use the belts as leverage for even bigger television and live-event storytelling in the weeks ahead.
