Guerra de Titanes (Spanish for "War of the Titans") is a major professional wrestling event produced by Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), a Mexican promotion. The event was originally announced for December 5, 2015, but was postponed to January 22, 2016, without an official explanation for the delay. The event is the nineteenth Guerra de Titanes show, traditionally AAA's "end of the year" that started in 1997, breaking with tradition in 2016.
The main event of the show was the semi-final round of a tournament to determine the next AAA Mega Champion in a match where the winning team will earn their way to the finals, held at the 2016 Rey de Reyes event. The team of Dr. Wagner Jr. and Psycho Clown lost against El Mesías and El Texano Jr.. Dark Cuervo, Dark Scoria and El Zorro won in a Six-man Lucha Libre rules tag team match for the vacant AAA World Trios Championship. The Los Hell Brothers Averno and Chessman won in a Three-way elimination match for the AAA World Tag Team Championship.
Starting in 1997 the Mexican professional wrestling, company Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA, or Triple A; Spanish for "Assistance, Consulting, and Administration") has held a major wrestling show late in the year, either November or December, called Guerra de Titanes ("War of the Titans"). The show often features championship matches or Lucha de Apuestas or bet matches where the competitors risked their wrestling mask or hair on the outcome of the match. In Lucha Libre the Lucha de Apuetas match is considered more prestigious than a championship match and a lot of the major shows feature one or more Apuesta matches. The Guerra de Titanes show is hosted by a new location each year, emanating from cities such as Madero, Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Jalisco and more.
