2019 marked the 27th year that the Mexican professional wrestling companyLucha Libre AAA Worldwide (Triple A or AAA) has held their annual flagship Triplemanía show. Triplemanía Regia was the 33rd overall Triplemanía show promoted by AAA (AAA promoted multiple Triplemanía shows over the summers of 1994 to 1997). Since the 2012 event, Triplemanía had taken place at the Arena Ciudad de México (Mexico City Arena), an indoor arena in Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, Mexico that has a maximum capacity of 22,300 spectators.[2][3][4][5] Triplemanía Regia was the first Triplemanía event held outside of Arena Ciudad de México since 2012 and the first outside Mexico City since 2007.
Triplemanía Regia featured eight professional wrestling matches, with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they engaged in a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match.[6][7]
On October 30, 2019, AAA announced that All Elite Wrestling's Kenny Omega would be defending the AAA Mega Championship at the event. On November 7 at the Triplemanía Regia press conference, it was announced that Omega would face Dragon Lee, who will be making his AAA debut.[8]

The show drew 14,350 fans, which was nearly full for the setup. AAA announced the crowd as 15,000. The crowd was considered a big surprise because both soccer teams in Monterrey were in the playoffs on the same day and one of teams played next door and drew close to 40,000 fans.
