The tournament typically features wrestlers whose style consists of high-flying aerial techniques. Its format is a torneo cibernetico, where the field of competitors is evenly split into two factions: técnicos and rudos. The last remaining competitor in the match is declared the winner of the tournament and named the Rey del Aire. The winner of the tournament also receives a trophy.

CMLL holds a similar tournament for their Mini-Estrella division called Pequeños Reyes del Aire (Spanish for "Little Kings of the Air").

Format

Unlike the standard single-elimination tournament format, the Reyes del Aire tournament only consists of a single round and a single elimination match with a varying even number of competitors. The tournament format is a torneo cibernetico, a multi-man elimination match where two teams face off against each other. It uses standard lucha libre tag team rules with elimination occurring with a pinfall, submission, disqualification, and countout and allows a wrestler to enter the match when their tag team partner exits the ring as well as when they tag out. A batting order system is occasionally used to impose a strict order of entry for every competitor. If two or more competitors from the same team remain, they must face each other to determine a sole winner.

The tournament typically features wrestlers whose style consists of high-flying aerial techniques. The field of competitors is evenly split between técnicos and rudos. Despite the tournament not being a standard tag team match, competitors mainly work as a faction depending on whether they are a técnico or a rudo. The last remaining competitor in the match is declared the winner of the tournament and named the Rey del Aire. The winner of the tournament also receives a trophy.

List of Reyes del Aire winners As of March 2026, there have been 25 tournaments with 18 different winners. Although, only 22 tournaments and 15 different winners are officially recognized by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre. Volador Jr. is the inaugural tournament winner, winning it in 2005. Five wrestlers have won the tournament more than once; Ángel de Oro and Volador Jr. won the title three times, while La Sombra, Stuka Jr., and Valiente won it twice. de Oro is the only wrestler to win consecutive tournaments, having won in 2011 and 2012.
