In a thrilling main event on November 10, 2024, El Mesías seized the AAA Latin American Championship at “Guerra de Titanes,” hosted at the Josué Neri Santos Gymnasium in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. The long-awaited showdown saw El Mesías, known as the “Man of 1000 Deaths,” square off against Octagón Jr., who was defending his Latin American title.
The fierce battle intensified when Pierroth Jr. stormed ringside, targeting Octagón Jr. to tilt the scales. Laredo Kid attempted to neutralize Pierroth’s interference, but the distraction allowed El Mesías to capitalize and clinch the victory, marking his first Latin American title in AAA and his third championship with the promotion.
This title win adds another impressive accolade to El Mesías’s storied career, which includes four reigns as AAA Mega Champion and a AAA World Tag Team Championship alongside Pagano. This latest victory is also his first title since 2017, underlining his enduring presence and impact in the ring.
For Octagón Jr., the loss comes after an impressive 358-day reign, having claimed the title from QT Marshall at last year’s “Guerra de Titanes.” Despite the setback, Octagón Jr. remains a prominent force with options to pursue additional gold, thanks to his victory in the 2024 Copa Bardhal at TripleManía 32 in Mexico City.

His return to AAA this year, after a six-year hiatus, reaffirms his legendary status and dedication to lucha libre.
