AAA has stripped Sexy Star of the AAA Reinas de Reina title, according to squaredcirclesirens.com.

This will be the second time this year that the title has been vacated. Taya was stripped of the title back in July so that they could put the title on Star.

A match featuring Lady Shani vs. Faby Apache vs. Big Mami vs. La Hiedra vs. Goya Kong will determine a new champion. The company made the decision just hours after Sexy Star released her side of the story regarding the incident with Rosemary at TripleMania.

Sexy Star has issued yet another statement on the incident involving her and Rosemary at AAA’s TripleMania on August 26th. As we have been reporting, Star apparently took liberties during the match, legitimately injuring the GFW star during their match at AAA’s biggest show of the year. Earlier today, she issued her second statement on the incident.

Basically, the gist of this statement is that Rosemary is not injured, and Sexy Star blames the American media, along with wrestlers from all corners of the globe, for perpetuating this lie with no proof to back it up.

First of all, I want to thank the people that have been with me in these past few days, which have been turned into a nightmare and became one of the most difficult moments of my career and personal life.

As some of you know, this past Saturday, August 26, I was present at the TripleMania XXV event in the Mexico City Arena to fulfill a championship match for the AAA promotion, of which I have been signed as an independent worker so that I can keep using the mask and character of Sexy Star, which is the character I have portrayed for the last 11 years.

At first, I was informed that I would be fighting in a Reina de Reinas title match in a one-on-one match against a female Mexican wrestler from one of the nearby promotions. But a few days before the event, I was told that they would be including two more wrestlers into the match, one of whom belonged to the North American promotion Global Force Wrestling. AAA brought this wrestler, whom up to my knowledge, has never wrestled in Mexico or at least with one of the major Mexican promotions, and I just met this wrestler mere minutes before we went up to the ring to have the match that she was signed onto.

As I have been doing for more than 10 years, as I reached the arena, I met with those that I will be wrestling with so that we can coordinate the match that we would present to the public, being that AAA are the ones responsible for making this happen.

Since it has been tradition whenever I go out and wrestle with people I have never worked with, especially foreigners –the wrestling styles change between countries—I would tend to favor wrestling a more American style. I asked if what we had planned out would be fine with them, or if they would like to change something so that they may feel safer in the ring.

Those that have worked with me know that I have always done things that way, with the idea of protecting everyone working with me and myself from any type of incident, not just out of etiquette and the values instilled upon me at home, which include compatriotism, but to be on constant alert of the dangers that wrestlers face every time they step into the ring, be it their first match or match No. 100. I want to clarify that [Rosemary], at no point, asked me to change anything that we would present, something that is very important to me. So I did what she knew and I had control of everything that we would do. The talent coordinator for AAA gave the “ok” to do our match without any prior meetings to change anything.

The moment of the match came, I made my way to the match to wrestle the way I have habitually done in front of the wrestling public for many years, with the same style, fury, and energy that has characterized “Sexy Star” in each of her fights.

The match came to its conclusion, and when I tapped out [Rosemary] with the submission that was agreed and selected upon, which is also one of the least dangerous submission moves in the danger range that I have applied and have been applied to repeatedly. At least that’s how it has always been.

At the end of the show and after the foreigner was walking under her own power without medical assistance, our protocol continued, and I was handed the title belt by Martha Villalobos, whom I have deep admiration and even first showed me the ropes of the wrestling sport, whom I love with all of my heart, and has made me be constantly prepared my body to handle bumps and submissions. Very few people know the secrets of professional wrestling and if I reveal any of them in this letter, it is for the security of my integrity and for the respect earned throughout my professional and personal life. I can’t stress this enough, I will only say that those who have conserved their careers through the highs and lows, falling and getting right back up, with injuries and being bloodied, know what I am referring to.

Twenty minutes after I was handed my belt, I went to the locker room in which I was bombarded by Global Force Wrestling representatives who have had a working relationship with AAA, saying that the wrestler I submitted suffered an apparent injury in their native language, something that surprised me because, as previously stated, she walked down from the ring without any help.

Immediately, and not just out of etiquette, but also because I was worried, I went to her to see if she was okay and I see her with another person, standing up in the room where the production monitors are located, with just a bag of ice on her elbow. There was nobody tending to her nor did she have anything to help her, which is a security protocol in the event somebody is suspected to have an injury. She wasn’t even sitting down and that put my mind at ease because I did not see anything wrong with her with my own two eyes. The talent coordinator for AAA reiterated that everything was fine and so, I left the venue with my husband with the tranquility and security that everything was going to be fine. I did not get any indication from Dorian Roldan, the owner of AAA, that something was amiss and I suppose if that is the case, then he wouldn’t have let me leave without resolving any type of potential situation.

People also need to know that I have never received any medical news, or any radiography that exists, which shows any injury to the wrestler in question.

I didn’t worry about the situation because I repeat, and I saw her with my own two eyes, I did not see that she was injured and that she wasn’t being tended to by medical personnel, much less need to have the use of medical equipment if she was injured. In my professional wrestling career, I have seen injuries, and I have been victim to accidents and believe me, nothing of the sort happened at the Reina de Reinas title match that night at TripleMania XXV.

The next day, I started to receive, on social media, a series of cyber attacks, which included an aggressive letter, written by this North American wrestler, who was already back in her home country, stating that I intentionally injured her, without showing proof of any kind, medical or other, and she only wrote it in text without showing her face or voice.

In this letter, a lot was unraveled, from male and female wrestlers from North America whom I have never worked with, much less be in the place that night. They have written about my supposed anti-professionalism, using words from [Rosemary’s letter], which has already been retweeted more than 4,000 times.

The bullying on social media only kept growing and even bloggers and media outlets, who were not present, who did not cover the event, outlets who don’t even work in Mexico, could not keep themselves from writing phrases such as “She dislocated her shoulder” or “She intentionally broke her arm,” confirming the alleged injury, and only using [Rosemary’s] letter on Twitter and the ending of the match through various angles as their only source. At no point did they look at the injured woman walking down the ring under her own power and using her hands. Some even assured that what I did was both wrong and intentional. Many members of the media and columnists online were not consistent and some mentioned that the injury was on her elbow, some said it was her shoulder that got injured and some said it was the whole arm.

I assure you in the video that is being circulated around the web, all that you see is me portraying Sexy Star making the submission move using the same energy and fury that is characterized by this character, in the same manner, and force without letting go seconds after the referee rang the bell, just as Sexy Star has always done. I can show that this submission has been done in plenty other occasions in the same exact manner and force with other wrestlers, including one of Sexy Star’s recent matches on [Lucha Underground]. I assure you that the wrestler who got the submission that time, with proof, did not suffer any injury because, as I have insisted, is one of the submission moves that, within the danger range, is one of the least risky and I have at no point, tried to misuse it to injure anybody.

This past August 30, I fulfilled 11 years inside the wrestling ring, a sport in which I have given my life, and my body, without being figurative, has suffered tons of damage because in this sport, if you have a career like I have been blessed with, you don’t rest. For wrestling, I have always had respect, respect that I exercise when taking care of my fellow wrestlers without exception and I will keep doing that, without caring the nationality or if they are aware of the respect that I inherited from my parents, my teachers, and teachers of this profession, people with dynasties inside Mexican wrestling, where the sport was born, and I am sure that my wrestling teachers can talk and mention that I have never mishandled any fellow wrestler.

With respect and love to my teachers and fans, who have shown love and care, and to those I owe my career to, especially those that personally know me, I dedicate this letter to you guys because you are the ones who truly deserve to know what truly happened. But above all else, I dedicate this to Sexy Star, a character that was presented to me and I have defended with honor, honesty, respect, integrity, and passion for 11 years. Those same values that belong to me, Dulce Maria Garcia Rivas, and I will not let anybody, without any unverified versions of the story who do not have proof, to discredit that.

Just hours after the statement was issued, it is now being reported that Sexy Star has been stripped of the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship. We will keep everyone updated on this story as more information comes to light.

As we have been reporting, there was an incident during a match at this past weekend’s AAA TripleMania involving Global Force Wrestling’s Rosemary and AAA and Lucha Underground’s Sexy Star. At the end of their match, Sexy Star refused to release an arm bar, causing a legitimate injury to Rosemary. What was originally believed to be a torn bicep has now been diagnosed as a sprain/muscle strain, and Rosemary won’t suffer a significant amount of time away from the ring.

Well, today, Sexy Star gave her first statement on the incident.

“These days have been very difficult for me. On Saturday I had a championship fight; Was very hard. I think it all went out of hand. I do not know, it’s a situation that right now I’m a bit confused. I want to be silent and when I feel it is time, touch the subject. Men, women, they want to finish me; Retire from this sport. I’m here; As I said at the outset: I will not stop, on behalf of all women who have been mistreated, physically or psychologically. I think I have to be stronger. If at that moment I went through a depression and left, I will leave this one too. I was doing what I had to do, what people deserve, give me a claw until the end. That happened, I gave it up. It seems that the girl is injured; I do not know, I do not know. Is the only that i can say.”

I am really not sure what Sexy Star is trying to say, but it sure doesn’t sound like she regrets her actions.

Lucha Libre AAA and Twitch are partnering to bring you the biggest lucha event of the year for free, and you can start watching right now.

Leading up to Saturday’s TripleMania XXV, Twitch and AAA are showing a “Best of TripleMania” streaming marathon on AAA’s new Twitch channel, LuchaLibreAAA. The marathon will culminate with a free livestream of TripleMania XXV, this Saturday, August 26, at 5PM PT/8PM ET. Kevin Gill and Gabriel Ramirez will be offering English commentary of TripleMania XXV at LuchaLibreAAA_EN.

According to the announcement from Anthony Guzzardo of the Twitch marathon team, “From its sold out debut in Mexico City’s Plaza de Toros to last year’s kick off of the bitter feud between Dr. Wagner Jr. and Psycho Clown, we’ll be airing all the landmark moments and biggest matches of each previous Triplemanía event.”

The partnership offers a huge opportunity for lucha fans worldwide to enjoy one of the sport’s biggest events for free, and a best of marathon is a savvy move for a promotion that offers limited access to a video library. TripleMania XXV has an incredible card that includes a triple threat between Johnny Mundo, Texano Jr., and El Hijo del Fantasma. The main event is a can’t-miss Mask vs. Mask match between Psycho Clown and Dr. Wagner, Jr, and as Guzzardo points out, the marathon will give new viewers a chance to catch up on Dr. Wagner Jr. and Psycho Clown’s feud from its beginnings at last year’s TripleMania.

This week’s announcement from Lucha Libre AAA and Twitch follows in the footsteps of WrestleCircus’ successful Twitch streams of their recent events. The move to livestreaming on Twitch capitalizes on the substantial overlap between Twitch’s primary gaming audience and the wrestling community, offering an opportunity to lure potential new viewers in from Twitch regulars who otherwise might not have heard about the event. The Twitch streams don’t offer access to a back catalogue, but “free” is a great introductory price for new fans looking to branch out from bigger promotions.
