The World Heavyweight Championship Number One Contenders Tournament is set to continue tonight as AAA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix takes on AAA star El Fiscal while Dragon Lee faces fellow El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. in a pair of first round matches, with the winners set to square off against one another in the semifinals. The aforementioned Penta secured his spot in the semifinals during last Monday’s edition of “Raw” when he emerged victorious against one half of the reigning AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champions Laredo Kid in a first round match, while La Parka scored a win against Psycho Clown in another first round match on the August 15 episode of “AAA On Fox” to advance.
