The Undertaker is playing a significant creative role in AAA wrestling. The WWE Hall of Famer, involved in shaping what audiences see, is optimistic about the brand’s future as WWE aims to expand and showcase the Lucha Libre wrestling style. At first, his involvement may seem unexpected, but he’s embracing the challenge.
In a recent chat with Cody Rhodes, The Undertaker shared how he’s committed to supporting AAA. He explained, "My goal is to step back and move ahead by contributing creatively with AAA. I’m focused on the physicality and in-ring logic, though adapting to AAA’s style is a bit challenging for someone like me." He admires the uniqueness of AAA’s product, highlighting the rich heritage and culture behind Lucha Libre, especially with its emphasis on masks and generational wrestling families. His aim is to respect this tradition while enhancing production quality and storytelling.
Traditionally, The Undertaker hasn’t been a fan of high-flying or flashy wrestling moves, preferring to tell stories in the ring. Lucha Libre, known for its athleticism and aerial maneuvers, is quite different. He acknowledges how impressive these skills and fan support are and believes blending the best of Lucha Libre with his own experience could create something truly special.
Importantly, The Undertaker isn’t looking to overhaul AAA or impose WWE’s style. He clarified, "I’m not trying to turn AAA into Lucha Libre WWE or RAW/SmackDown. I want to take the best parts and merge them with what I know to reach a broader audience." He views AAA as an alternative wrestling experience alongside other companies, offering fans diverse ways to enjoy the sport.
Fan Take: This collaboration is exciting for WWE fans because it shows The Undertaker’s willingness to grow creatively by embracing different wrestling traditions. It could lead to innovative storytelling and broaden the appeal of wrestling globally, benefiting both AAA and WWE audiences.
