Summary

Rey Fenix is set for singles action on the May 2 edition of AAA on Fox, as WWE announced that he will face Laredo Kid on Saturday's show in Querétaro.

The match will be a non-title bout. Laredo Kid enters the night as the AAA Cruiserweight Champion, but that championship will not be at stake.

Saturday's AAA On Fox lineup

The currently announced lineup for the show includes:

  • El Hijo del Vikingo vs. Mini Vikingo
  • OG El Grande Americano vs. El Grando Americano II contract signing
  • Rey Fenix vs. Laredo Kid

What Rey Fenix and Laredo Kid bring to AAA On Fox

Rey Fenix facing Laredo Kid gives AAA on Fox a featured lucha showcase without forcing an immediate AAA Cruiserweight Championship change into the equation. Keeping the match non-title lets AAA spotlight both names while still preserving Laredo Kid's title status heading into the road to Noche de los Grandes.

For Fenix, the match also gives him a high-profile spot on a card that already includes El Hijo del Vikingo. Even without the title on the line, a strong showing against the reigning cruiserweight champion would immediately add momentum to Fenix's place on AAA programming.
