The 2024Rey de Reyes (Spanish for "2024 King of Kings") was aprofessional wrestlingtournament andsupercard event produced by the MexicanLucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) promotion. The event took place on February 3, 2024, at the Base del Ejercito y Fuerza Aerea inMexico City,Mexico. The 2024 event was the 27thRey de Reyes show and tournament.
Since 1997 and every year except 2020, the MexicanLucha Libre, orprofessional wrestling,companyAAA has held aRey de Reyes (Spanish for "King of Kings") show in the spring. The 1997 version was held in February,[2] while all subsequent Rey de Reyes shows were held in March. As part of their annualRey de Reyes event AAA holds theeponymousRey de Reyes tournament to determine that specific year'sRey.[3] Most years the show hosts both the qualifying round and the final match, but on occasion the qualifying matches have been held prior to the event as part of AAA's weekly television shows.[4] The traditional format consists of four preliminary rounds, each aFour-man elimination match with each of the four winners face off in the tournament finals, again under elimination rules.[2] There have been years where AAA has employed a different format to determine a winner.[4] The winner of theRey de Reyes tournament is given a large ornamental sword to symbolize their victory, but is normally not guaranteed any other rewards for winning the tournament, although some years becoming theRey de Reyes has earned the winner a match for theAAA Mega Championship. From 1999 through 2009 AAA also held an annualReina de Reinas ("Queen of Queens") tournament, but later turned that into an actual championship that could be defended at any point during the year, abandoning the annual tournament concept.[5][6][7] On January 23, 2024, AAA announced that Rey de Reyes would take place on February 3, 2024. The 2024 show will be the 27th Rey de Reyes show in the series.[8]
