This past weekend, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide hosted its annual Guerra de Titanes pay-per-view event, showcasing several WWE talents such as WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, The Lucha Brothers, Dominik Mysterio, alongside AAA’s El Hijo de Vikingo. The event was highly successful for the promotion, with Dave Meltzer mentioning on Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE took notice of the enthusiastic fan response.
Meltzer stated, “I know people in WWE and others believed this was the best WWE show of the year. You could make that case. The audience reaction might have been the best. Regarding match quality, it was top-tier. Every match was solid, with most being outstanding. I really enjoyed the show—the storylines were compelling, the wrestling was intense, and the energy was electric. Dragon Lee and the Vikings exceeded my expectations.”
A notable moment occurred after the main event where Rey Mysterio and El Grande Americano shared a handshake, signaling a possible face turn for El Grande Americano, who is already popular with AAA fans. It’s unclear if this development will transition into WWE storylines, but if WWE is as impressed with the event as Meltzer suggests, AAA might strengthen its ties with WWE even further.
