The Rey de Reyes (English: "King of Kings") is an annual tournament held by Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) comparable to World Wrestling Entertainment’s King of the Ring tournament. For the first six tournaments the format has been 4 way elimination matches with 4 qualifies and a final, but in later tournaments the format has changed a couple of times. The winner is usually either currently one of the top faces or heels of the promotion or a wrestler that AAA is hoping to push to a main event position. Unlike the King of the Ring there is normally no crown instead a large sword is awarded as a trophy which the wrestlers carry with them up to the next Rey de Reyes event and the wrestlers usually do not refer to themselves as "King" after winning the tournament.
