[8][9][10] Both Triplemanía and Infierno en el Ring were held in Mexico City, Triplemanía at the approximately 20,000 seat Palacio de los Deportes arena while Infierno en el Ring was held at the 16,500 seat Arena México.

[13] The Triplemanía XVI show featured a total of seven professional wrestling matches with where some wrestlers were involved scripted feuds.

El Mesías, from Puerto Rico, was one of the major figures in La Legión Extranjera, teaming with US representative Sean Waltman and Japanese wrestler Kenzo Suzuki in the main event of Triplemanía XV.

After Los Hell Brothers won the match a man came to the ring wearing the "iron mask" but that turned out to be Konnan.

The Family feud stretched out for several years and even had the birth of Faby and Billy Boy's son Marvin incorporated into the storyline.

[20] The two sisters agreed to put their hair on the line in a Lucha de Apuestas, or "bet match", at Triplemanía XVI.

Initially, it was believed that the Black Abyss character was introduced due to rumors of Abismo Negro jumping to CMLL or to cover several no-shows.

[24] During that time Mr. Niebla had begun challenging Abismo Negro's position as the leader of Los Vipers, backing Black Abyss in the feud.

Abismo Negro won the matches, but each time AAA head booker Joaquín Roldan announced that the decision had been overturned for various reasons.

After the second match the rest of Los Vipers turned on Abismo Negro and kicked him out of the group, making Mr. Niebla their leader instead.

[20] The storyline was supposed to end in a Luchas de Apuestas match between Niebla and Negro at Triplemanía XVI.

[1][20][25] In the fourth match of the night sisters Faby and Mari Apache squared off, fighting each other with their hair on the line.

[1][20][25] For the semi-final match a wheelchair bound Charly Manson entered the arena to introduce the luchador sorpresa ("surprise wrestler") that had been advertised and Chessman and La Parka's tag team partner.

[30] With the split of Los Hell Brothers, Chessman became a Rudo and the title match was scheduled for Verano de Escandalo.

[32] The predominant storyline after Triplemanía XVI featured the Konnan-led La Legión Extranjera group as they continued their efforts to take control of AAA.

By winning the main event of the Antonio Peña Memorial Show the storyline was that La Legión Extranjera was now running AAA, completing their takeover.

[34] The storyline was pushed as supposedly being real, something that was further enhanced by Cibernético working on the independent circuit from December 2008,[35] until returning to AAA in April 2009.

[36] As a follow-up to the time-limit draw between Vampiro and El Mesías, the two faced off in an extreme rules match on AAA's Sin Límite television taping on July 25.

Later in 2008 Billy Boy returned to AAA, wearing a mask to keeping his true identity secret as he wrestled under the name "Alfa".

[22] During the 2008 Guerra de Titanes show Billy Boy came to Faby Apache's aid after she lost a match.

[38] In the spring of 2010 Aero Star was brought into the family feud, portraying a new love interest for Faby Apache.

To begin with, Billy Boy acted like he did not care, stating that he had moved on as well and found a new love in Sexi Star.

Nicho and Lider won a Ladder match at Verano de Escándalo defeating the Mexican Powers (Crazy Boy and Último Gladiador), La Familia de Tijuana (Extreme Tiger and Halloween), and The Hart Foundation 2.0 (Jack Evans and Teddy Hart) to win the AAA World Tag Team Championship.
