Reason Behind WWE Holding SmackDown on Same Night as Triplemanía 34 Revealed

TLDR

AAA announced that Triplemanía 34 will be a two-night event with night one on September 11 at the Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas (capacity 700-980) and night two on September 13 at Arena CDMX in Mexico City. According to Dave Meltzer, WWE will run SmackDown in Mexico City on the same night as Triplemanía's first night, and WWE obtained controlling interest in AAA last year as part of a strategy to build a lucha libre-style product for Hispanic audiences in the United States rather than primarily to compete in Mexico. Meltzer reported that WWE's goal is to sell media rights and merchandise to Hispanics and others in the U.S., with the Las Vegas location fitting WWE's plan to position the AAA brand for the American market.
