Laredo Kid will defend his AAA World Cruiserweight Championship against T.J. Perkins on the February 21st episode of Lucha Libre AAA, which will air on Fox at 8 PM in Mexico and Central America. The match was set after Perkins earned a title shot by defeating Mini Vikingo, Elio LeFleur and Chris Carter in a four-way contest on January 31st, 2026.
The February 21st event, already taped on February 7th, 2026, features a contract signing for a Rey de Reyes match between El Hijo del Vikingo and Dominik Mysterio. Also scheduled is a singles match between Abismo Negro and El Fiscal.
Perkins, a former WWE Cruiserweight Champion, has competed in CMLL and NJPW throughout 2025, building momentum toward his return to a major championship opportunity. The upcoming match represents a significant challenge for Laredo Kid, who has held the AAA World Cruiserweight title for an unspecified period.
The broadcast will also be available at 10 PM in South America (excluding Brazil) via YouTube Fox, and on Fox and Fox One in Mexico and Central America.
