AEW continues to generate excitement following last week’s Grand Slam Mexican edition of “AEW Dynamite.” Ahead of “Dynamite,” the CMLL MARTES Populares – CMLL Vs. AEW/ROH event is set to take place at Mexico City’s Arena Mexico. One notable matchup features CMLL’s Atlantis Jr. facing AEW’s “The Walking Weapon” Josh Alexander, who has previously wrestled in Mexico with TNA and Lucha Libre AAA.
During an appearance on “AEW Unlimited,” Alexander shared his thoughts on wrestling in CMLL and its arenas compared to his past experiences in Mexico. He recalled a memorable AAA show under a TNA partnership where the crowd showed their appreciation by throwing coins and bills into the ring after a match, highlighting the unique passion of Mexican wrestling fans.
Alexander, a former TNA world champion, also discussed his recent Grand Slam Mexico match, which involved 14 tag teams representing Don Caris’ faction and allies. He expressed his dislike for matches with more than six participants due to the challenge of giving everyone enough time in the spotlight but acknowledged that the large tag match turned out well and featured some intense moments.
