WWE has officially acquired AAA, as announced during WrestleMania Week. However, WWE appears to be interfering with a major title match storyline within Lucha Libre’s promotion.
On the May 26 episode of WWE Raw, it was revealed that Vikingo would face Chad Gable at Worlds End for the AAA Mega Championship. The visual graphics confirmed this as a championship bout, giving Gable a chance to claim the prestigious title.
The issue is that the current AAA Mega Champion is Alberto El Patron, who has held the belt for most of 2025. El Patron is scheduled to defend the title against Vikingo at an AAA event on May 31, a week before Worlds End. Many fans see the WWE graphic as a spoiler hinting that Vikingo will ultimately defeat the controversial ex-superstar for the championship.
Vikingo is the longest-reigning AAA Mega Champion, having held the belt for 833 days. All indications suggest he will regain the title, with WWE already promoting his next championship reign before it officially happens.
Fan Take: This development highlights WWE’s significant influence over AAA’s storylines, which could alter traditional Lucha Libre narratives. For WWE fans, it means more crossover potential and a chance to see bigger, high-stakes matches that blend styles from both wrestling worlds.
