El Hijo Del Vikingo, one of the most exciting wrestlers in the world today, is set to make a return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) to defend his AAA Mega Championship. Fans of professional wrestling have been eagerly awaiting the return of this dynamic luchador, who wowed audiences in his previous appearances on AEW programming. As he prepares to step back into the ring, the anticipation among fans and fellow wrestlers alike is palpable. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at El Hijo Del Vikingo’s upcoming return to AEW and the impact he is likely to have on the promotion’s already impressive roster of talent.
El Hijo del Vikingo to Return to AEW and Defend AAA Mega Championship Against Dralistico
Mexican wrestler, El Hijo del Vikingo is set to make a second appearance on AEW (All Elite Wrestling) on a special Saturday night edition of “AEW Rampage” next week. The sporting event will see him defend the AAA Mega Championship against Dralistico. This will be Vikingo’s first defense of the title in AEW, and the championship’s initial defense in AEW programming in the last three years. His first AEW appearance was against Kenny Omega on March 22, which was billed as a dream match.
Since then, Vikingo has been on ROH programming and has defended the AAA Mega Championship in Tony Khan’s secondary wrestling company. He successfully defended his title against Komander at ROH’s Supercard of Honor pay-per-view. On the other hand, Dralistico unsuccessfully challenged Orange Cassidy for the AEW International Championship in a championship bout on AEW’s sixth installment of the “Battle of the Belts” special series last Saturday. Although Dralistico has made a few appearances on AEW programming, he has been a long-time member of La Faccion Ingobernable outside of AEW.
Although it is an infrequent occurrence, “Rampage’s” timeslot moves to Saturday nights at times, making it possible for this matchup’s scheduling. Reports suggest that AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery have reached an agreement for a third AEW televised wrestling show. The new show could debut as soon as June. According to recent rumors, CM Punk may be the star of the new show, with a “soft brand split” implemented, and the split would reportedly be in place to alleviate backstage issues between Punk and other members of the locker room.
Vikingo, whose real name is Miguel Ibarra, is known for his aerial abilities and high-flying techniques. He joined Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, a Mexican professional wrestling promotion, in 2017. He has made many appearances in the US in promotions such as PWG (Pro Wrestling Guerrilla), and Lucha Libre Elite.
AEW was founded in 2019, and it has become an eminent professional wrestling company. It was founded by Tony Khan as an alternative to WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), offering something different to traditional professional wrestling. The company features an exciting roster of wrestlers and has had successful collaborations with other professional wrestling companies such as NJPW (New Japan Pro Wrestling), IMPACT Wrestling, ROH (Ring of Honor), NWA (National Wrestling Alliance), and AAA.
AEW is also known for the AEW Dynamite, its weekly television show airing on TNT, as well as AEW Dark and AEW Rampage. AEW Rampage is aired on Fridays and telecasted on TNT. The show premiered on August 13, 2021.
Bottom Line
El Hijo del Vikingo’s upcoming appearance on AEW Rampage is highly anticipated, especially considering that he will be defending the AAA Mega Championship, and it’s the first defense of that championship at AEW programming in three years. Fans are eager to watch the Mexican star in action with his high-flying moves, fighting against Dralistico. AEW’s consistency in bringing in wrestlers from different promotions for dream matches has secured its position in the professional wrestling industry, making it an exciting company to watch out for.
