AAA Noche de Los Grandes Lineup for Expanded Two-Week Event

March 2026}} Five matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Roman Reigns def. Jacob Fatu to retain Raw's World Heavyweight Championship. In other prominent matches, Iyo Sky defeated Asuka, Trick Williams defeated Sami Zayn to retain SmackDown's WWE United States Championship, and in the opening bout, Bron Breakker defeated Seth Rollins. After SummerSlam in August 2025, Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky, who both competed for the Women's World Championship at the event, maintained a friendly relationship, much to the dismay of Sky's former Damage CTRL stablemates The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane), but more specifically Asuka, who confronted Sky multiple times. On the September 22 episode of ''Raw'', Asuka and a conflicted Sane betrayed Sky. This began a rivalry, with Ripley and Sky subsequently defeating The Kabuki Warriors at Crown Jewel. After that, The Kabuki Warriors won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, and Ripley and Sky subsequently faced The Kabuki Warriors multiple times in singles and tag team matches, including Ripley and Sky's team defeating The Kabuki Warriors' team in the Women's WarGames match at Survivor Series: WarGames, and also defeating them on the ''Raw on Netflix Anniversary Show'' on January 5, 2026, to win the title. On the February 27 episode of ''SmackDown'', Ripley and Sky, now known as Rhiyo, lost the title. After that, Asuka continually mistreated Sane for her failures to help her, and on the March 23 episode of ''Raw'', Sky approached Sane and stated she deserved better treatment. The following week, Asuka and Sane appeared ringside during Sky's match, with Asuka forcing Sane to interfere, however, Sane did nothing. After Sky spotted Asuka mistreating Sane at ringside, Sky attacked Asuka, a distraction that cost Sky the match. On the ''Raw'' before WrestleMania 42, Sky faced Sane, and despite Ripley's involvement, Asuka interfered and cost Sky the win. The following week, Rhiyo def. The Kabuki Warriors in a tag team match. Following that, Ripley was transferred to the SmackDown brand after winning the WWE Women's Championship while Sane was legitimately released from WWE. On the April 27 episode, Asuka attacked Sky, costing her a match for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship. Later that night, it was subsequently announced that Asuka would face Sky at Backlash. In June 2024, Jacob Fatu, a member of the prominent Anoaʻi family made his WWE debut joining The Bloodline stable, led by Solo Sikoa, and once led by Roman Reigns. After Reigns returned at SummerSlam to cost Sikoa an Undisputed WWE Championship match, Fatu, as Sikoa's enforcer, was then embroiled into a feud with Reigns. At Bad Blood on October 5, Fatu and Sikoa lost to Reigns in a tag team match after interference from a returning Jimmy Uso, marking Fatu's first loss in WWE. At Crown Jewel on November 2, Fatu, Sikoa, and Tama Tonga def. the original incarnation of The Bloodline of Reigns and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) in a six-man tag team match. At Survivor Series: WarGames on November 30, The Bloodline's team lost to Reigns and The Usos' team in a WarGames match. Reigns would then reclaim the Tribal Chief title on the ''Raw'' premiere on Netflix in January 2025 by defeating Sikoa to end the rivalry. After multiple weeks of dissension, Fatu betrayed Sikoa at Money at the Bank on June 7 by attacking him in the namesake ladder match, leaving The Bloodline and turning face. After Reigns won the men's Royal Rumble match at the eponymous event in January 2026, Reigns subsequently won the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of Night 2 of WrestleMania 42. Reigns and The Usos reunited the following night on ''Raw'', but they were interrupted by Fatu, who was part of SmackDown at the time, with Fatu stating that he wanted everything that Reigns had, including the title, before challenging Reigns to a title match at Backlash. Reigns stated that he did not think Fatu was ready for a title match and said he would give Fatu a week before making his decision. There, Reigns stated that he still felt that Fatu did not deserve a title match, and that giving him one would be nepotism. After Fatu attacked Reigns, he accepted the challenge. On Night 2 of WrestleMania 42, Trick Williams, accompanied by Lil Yachty, def. Sami Zayn to win the WWE United States Championship. On that week's ''SmackDown'', during Williams and Yachty's celebration, they appeared with a gingerbread man mascot, which Williams had already used the previous week to mock Zayn. There, the mascot attacked Yachty and Williams before revealing itself to be Zayn in disguise, who subsequently performed a Helluva Kick on Williams. The following week, Zayn destroyed the Gingerbread man costume, prompting Williams to attack Zayn. Later that night, Williams challenged Zayn with his title on the line at Backlash, which Zayn accepted and it was made official by SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis. |match1 = Bron Breakker def. Seth Rollins by pinfall

February 2026}} Five matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Joe Hendry def. Ricky Saints to retain the NXT Championship. In other prominent matches, Tatum Paxley defeated Izzi Dame to win the NXT Women's North American Championship, and in the opening bout, Blake Monroe defeated Jaida Parker in a Street Fight. Entering 2025, Tatum Paxley formed an alliance with Gigi Dolin and Shotzi. At the end of May, Dolin and Shotzi were released by WWE, effectively disbanding the team. Izzi Dame then successfully recruited Paxley into The Culling (Dame, Niko Vance, and Shawn Spears) by preying on Paxley's emotional instability from losing her former teammates. On the October 14 episode of ''NXT'', Paxley won a battle royal to become the #1 contender for the NXT Women's Championship after Dame eliminated Jordynne Grace which also took Dame out unintentionally, and subsequently def. Jacy Jayne to win the title at Halloween Havoc. As champion, Paxley agreed to hand out title matches, much to the chagrin of The Culling. On Night 1 of ''NXT'': Gold Rush, Paxley lost the title back to Jayne after The Culling turned on her. Paxley then sought revenge against Dame, culminating in a match at NXT Deadline, which Dame won after a distraction from Spears. Paxley continued to taunt The Culling, leading to a match against Dame at ''NXT'': New Year's Evil in which Paxley was victorious. Later that night, NXT Women's North American Champion Thea Hail held an open challenge for the title, where she stated that whoever got to the ring first would get a title shot; however, when Paxley was close to the ring, Dame appeared and attacked Hail from behind, being the first to reach the ring. Dame subsequently defeated Hail for the title. Their rivalry continued, and on the February 10 episode of ''NXT'', Paxley said in a vignette that she had lost sight of who she was while in The Culling and that she had felt a sense of clarity after leaving the group. After responding to the vignette the following week, Dame announced that she would face Paxley for the title at Vengeance Day. After the formation of DarkState (Dion Lennox, Saquon Shugars, Cutler James, and Osiris Griffin) at the 2025 Vengeance Day, they began feuding with The D'Angelo Family (Tony D'Angelo, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Luca Crusifino, and Adriana Rizzo). At Stand and Deliver that year, Lennox, Shugars, and James def. The D'Angelo Family in a six-man tag team match after Lorenzo turned on his team. Over the next few months, dissension among The D'Angelo Family continued until its complete dissolution in July. After a five-month hiatus, D'Angelo made his return at Deadline in December and vowed to destroy DarkState. D'Angelo then defeated James on the February 17, 2026, episode of ''NXT'', and on the following episode, D'Angelo attacked DarkState, costing Griffin and Shugars the NXT Tag Team Championship. The following week, D'Angelo attacked Griffin with a crowbar, causing Lennox to call out D'Angelo, who challenged Lennox to a match at Vengeance Day. Lennox accepted, and it was subsequently made oficial. Lennox also stated that he would be waiting for D'Angelo in the parking lot. |match1 = Blake Monroe def.
