The 2017 Rey de Reyes (Spanish for "King of Kings") was a professional wrestling event produced by the Lucha Libre AAA World Wide, or simply AAA, promotion. The 2017 version was the 21st year in a row that AAA has held a Rey de Reyes show and tournament. Previous Rey de Reyes tournaments consisted of several rounds, but for 2017 AAA held a nine-man Royal Rumble-style elimination match, which was won by Argenis.
The show saw several changes compared to the originally announced matches, including Johnny Mundo, the AAA Latin American Champion defeating AAA Mega Champion El Texano Jr. and AAA World Cruiserweight Champion El Hijo del Fantasma to win both championships, making him the first man to hold all three championships. In the main event of the reshuffled card Aero Star defeated Súper Fly in a Lucha de Apuestas, or bet match, forcing Súper Fly to have all his hair shaved off after the match.
