[1] The event featured six professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers, where some were involved in pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines and others simply put together by the matchmakers without a backstory.

Initially it looked like the Máscara Año 2000 trio team had won the match and the championship, but Lucha Libre AAA World Wide (AAA) wrestler Silver King, who was watching from the front row, informed the referee that the team had used an illegal move to win the match, thus reversing the decision, making Los Gringos VIP the Distrito Federal Trios Champions instead.

[7] The appearance of Silver King started a long running story-line rivalry between IWRG and AAA, including the Guerra de Campeones show.

[8] In 2011 the title was inactive as Gringo Loco returned to the US and did not work for IWRG on a regular basis, leaving the fate of the Distrito Federal Trios Championship in limbo.

The defending champion going into the show was Taboo, who had defeated Silver King, in a steel cage match that also included Dr. Wagner Jr. and La Parka, on October 16, 2011.

[11][12] Over the years the championship was primarily promoted by Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre ("Mexican Wrestling Enterprise"; EMLL) and held by famous teams such as Los Hermanos Shadow (Blue Demon and Black Shadow), Los Rebeldes ("The Rebels"; Rene Guajardo and Karloff Lagarde), Rayo de Jalisco and El Santo and La Ola Blanca (Dr. Wagner and Ángel Blanco).

[11][12] In 1993 then champions Los Destructores (Tony Arce and Rocco Valente) left EMLL to join AAA, bringing with them the Mexican National Tag Team Championship.
