The partnership between All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and CMLL continued to grow stronger in 2025. This connection will be highlighted on June 18th when AEW hosts the Grand Slam Mexican edition of its flagship show “AEW Dynamite” live from the legendary Arena Mexico. In a recent interview with Q101, AEW President Tony Khan revealed that it was Hangman Adam Page who came up with the idea to showcase his Spanish-speaking skills to the audience.
Khan praised Hangman’s initiative, saying, “It was a great idea by Hangman. He came and said he wanted to do it.” While Khan encourages many great ideas and collaborates closely with top wrestlers, he emphasized that as the “play caller,” he has the final say on what airs on AEW TV, selecting only the best ideas presented.
Hangman’s Spanish promo received widespread acclaim from both English and Spanish-speaking fans, contributing to his growing popularity. This momentum carried into his victory, as he reclaimed the AEW World Championship on July 12th in Texas.
Fan Take: This news highlights AEW’s commitment to inclusivity and cultural diversity, which strengthens its connection with a broader fanbase, especially the Spanish-speaking community. Hangman’s initiative not only shows his dedication to engaging with fans but also signals AEW’s willingness to innovate and embrace global influences in wrestling.
