It was held at Auditorio Fausto Gutierrez in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico on March 13, 2020.
It was the inaugural event in the MLW Super Series chronology, and it was taped for future episodes of MLW Fusion; these would be the final episodes to air before the promotion went on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Production
=Background=
In August 2018, Major League Wrestling (MLW) announced that they had started a working agreement with Mexican-based promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA).{{cite web |url=http://thechairshot.com/2018/08/joes-aaa-triplemania-xxvi-results-review-8-25-18/|title=AAA TripleMania XXVI Results & Review|date=August 25, 2018|publisher=The Chairshot|access-date=2018-08-25}} Nearly two years later on February 5, 2020, MLW announced that it would be holding its first co-promoted event with AAA on March 13, held in conjunction with AAA's local Tijuana partner Promociones EMW. This marked the second MLW event promoted in Mexico, following the Crash/Major League Wrestling show held on October 5, 2019.{{cite web | url=https://mlw.com/2019/08/23/mlw-and-the-crash-unite-for-historic-co-promoted-card-in-mexico-on-october-5/ | title=MLW and THE CRASH unite for historic co-promoted card in Mexico on October 5 | date=August 23, 2019 | access-date=November 4, 2019 | author=Major League Wrestling}}
=Storylines=
AAA vs MLW featured nine professional wrestling matches scripted by MLW and AAA featuring wrestlers involved in scripted feuds. The wrestlers portrayed either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that play the part of the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they performed.{{cite book | author= Madigan, Dan | title= Mondo Lucha a Go Go: the bizarre & honorable world of wild Mexican wrestling | publisher= HarperCollins Publishers | year= 2007 | chapter = "Okay... what is Lucha Libre?" | page = 31 | quote=featuring clearly distinguished good guys and bad guys, or técnicos and rudos | isbn=978-0-06-085583-3|location=New York, New York}}
