WWE has announced its acquisition of the Mexican Lucha Libre promotion AAA during Night One of WrestleMania 41. Following this, WWE stars are set to appear in upcoming AAA matches next week. The first WWE x AAA Worlds Collide event took place on June 7th, spotlighting the AAA Mega Championship bout between El Hijo Del Vikingo and Chad Gable. Several WWE talents, including SmackDown’s Los Garza Reaing—who currently holds the AAA Tag Team Championship—and NXT’s Lola Vice, have been featured in AAA events. Most recently, AAA revealed that El Grande Americano will make his debut with the promotion on July 25th at the Juan de la Barella Olympic Gymnasium. Ludwig Kaiser has taken on the El Grande Americano persona following Chad Gable’s injury.
Fan Take: This integration marks a significant expansion for WWE, bringing exciting cross-promotional opportunities that could blend the unique styles of both brands. WWE fans should watch closely, as this move could lead to fresh storylines and increased global exposure for the sport.
