AAA's previous major event, Guerra de Titanes, on December 16, 2011, ended with Máscara Año 2000 Jr., El Texano Jr. and Toscano making their debuts and forming the rudo stable El Consejo, with the three posing as invaders from rival promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).

[8] Before the end of the year, El Consejo established themselves as the third major group, outside of both AAA and La Sociedad, by attacking both técnicos and rudos.

[9] On January 21, 2012, former CMLL wrestlers Mortiz and Semental turned on AAA and joined El Consejo, becoming its fourth and fifth member.

However, Aguayo refused the offer, pointing out that El Consejo had attacked his stablemate Halloween back in December, eventually leading to a brawl between the two rudo stables.

[15] On March 11 at the final television tapings before Rey de Reyes, El Consejo was joined by a masked man using the character of "El Hombre de Negro" ("The Man in Black"), which was previously used by CMLL executive director and a member of the promotion's booking committee, Juan Manuel Mar.

[15][17] Later that same night, El Hijo del Perro Aguayo defeated Cibernético, Máscara Año 2000 Jr. and a surprise entrant, the returning Juventud Guerrera, with help from interfering Garza, who attacked Máscara Año 2000 Jr., and Chessman, who attacked Guerrera, following the orders of La Sociedad co-leader Konnan.

[20] The situation escalated on March 2, when Park grabbed La Sociedad leader Dorian Roldán, after he was told to kiss Karen Jarrett's feet as an apology for the recent problems between him and Karen, the manager and wife of AAA Mega Champion and La Sociedad member Jeff Jarrett.

The three male wrestlers entered into the match were Aero Star, Alan Stone, El Elegido, the three female wrestlers Faby Apache, La Hechicera and Sexy Star, the three Mini-Estrellas Mascarita Dorada, Mini Histeria, Octagóncito and finally the three exoticos Pimpinela Escarlata, Pasión Cristal and Yuriko.

Pasión Cristal was the first person to escape the match and he was followed, in order, by La Hechicera, El Elegido, Octagóncito, Alan Stone, Aero Star, who jumped off the top of the cage onto the wrestlers standing outside of it, Mini Histeria, Mascarita Dorada, Yuriko and finally Faby Apache, leaving Pimpinela Escarlata, waging his hair, and Sexy Star, waging her mask, inside the cage.

The match also saw Extreme Tiger teaming up with Fénix, a replacement for an injured Daga,[30] Joe Líder reuniting with his former Mexican Powers stablemate Juventud Guerrera, and Los Perros del Mal member Nicho el Millonario teaming up with Halloween, who had legitimately quit both Los Perros del Mal and its home promotion, Perros del Mal Producciones, the previous week, but had vowed to honor his prior commitments with AAA.

[26][27][29] In the third match, new AAA World Trios Champions Los Psycho Circus, who had won the title just seven days earlier, faced La Sociedad's Octagón, Silver King and Último Gladiador in a non-title match, picking up the win, when Murder Clown pinned Gladiador with a diving splash.

As Park left the ring to go after Karen, Jeff Jarrett showed up and hit him with his signature weapon, a guitar, which led to Garza pinning him for the first elimination of the match.

Jarrett gained control of the match by handcuffing his opponent to the ring ropes, however, the resulting beatdown gave him only a two count.

The challenger gained control of the guitar, hit Jarrett with it and then pinned him with a Mesías Splash to become the new AAA Mega Champion.

[26][27][29] Despite being saved by Cibernético, La Parka refused to forgive his rival, saying he had not forgotten what Los Bizarros had put him and his family through during the past year.

[32] Octagón explained the turn by claiming that Parka had put Dark Dragon and Tito Santana in danger by becoming more focused on his rivalry with Cibernético than the mutual goals of La Sociedad.

[33] At the March 30 and April 1 tapings, Jack Evans seemingly shifted from feuding with El Hijo del Perro Aguayo to Teddy Hart, who was named the newest member of Los Perros del Mal, while Aguayo himself went on to attack and challenge AAA Mega Champion El Mesías.
