Last night marked the debut of the WWE X AAA Worlds Collide Premium Live event. WWE had announced its acquisition of the Mexican Lucha Libre promotion AAA during WrestleMania 41, revealing a global clash event between the two brands set for June 7th in Los Angeles.
The event’s main attraction featured AAA’s El Hijo del Vikingo defending the AAA Mega Championship against WWE’s Chad Gable. Fans responded positively to the show online, even though WWE’s Paul "Triple H" Levesque was not overseeing it, as he was busy preparing for another event. According to Pwinsider, Jeremy Borash managed all aspects of the global clash broadcasts. Borash is also one of the creative leads expected to steer AAA’s direction following the WWE takeover.
One of the standout performers in Worlds Collide was AAA’s Iguana, who praised the favorable fan reaction to the event.
Fan Take: This crossover event signals WWE’s serious investment in blending diverse wrestling styles and expanding its global reach. For fans, it promises exciting matchups and fresh storytelling directions that could transform the landscape of professional wrestling.
