Héroes Inmortales
Lucha Libre AAA World Wide event series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Copa Antonio Peña (Spanish for "The Antonio Peña Cup") was an annual professional wrestling tournament held by Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) once a year. The tournament was named in memory of Antonio Peña, the founder of AAA, who died on October 5, 2006. The tournament is part of the annual Antonio Peña Memorial show held annually around the anniversary of Peña's death. The tournament was a Gauntlet match featuring eight to thirteen AAA wrestlers ranging from mid-card to main eventers. The events are televised as a special feature on Televisa. The Cup was not defended like a championship and does not automatically give the winner a shot at the AAA Mega Championship. As is tradition with AAA major events the wrestlers compete inside a hexagonal wrestling ring and not the four sided ring the promotion uses for television events and house shows.
The 2025 Héroes Inmortales was the first event in the series not to feature the Copa Antonio Peña.
