The former WWE world champion is making his return at the Worlds Collide event scheduled for June 7. The event will take place at the KIA Forum in Inglewood, California, marking the first significant collaboration between WWE and AAA since WWE acquired the Mexican promotion during WrestleMania 41 weekend.
Currently, five matches have been confirmed, but the event is expected to feature surprise appearances. Rumors have circulated about Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan potentially participating, with new reports indicating that former WWE champion John “Bradshaw” Layfield (JBL) will also be involved. JBL has previously appeared in AAA, working alongside former AAA mega champion Alberto El Patron.
It remains uncertain what role JBL will play, especially after El Patron lost the title to El Hijo del Vikingo at the recent AAA event on May 31. Behind the scenes, the AAA creative team for Worlds Collide will include Jeremy Borash, Konnan, and Moody Jack Melendez, with Melendez visiting the WWE Performance Center alongside WWE star Savio Vega this week. Additionally, WWE is considering adding veteran commentators to the event’s broadcast.
This collaboration is generating excitement and promises to bring fresh storylines and talent exchanges that could redefine cross-promotional wrestling events.
Fan Take: This return of a former WWE champion and the intensified WWE-AAA partnership heightens anticipation and signals a new era of cross-promotional wrestling that could bring exciting matchups and fresh narratives for fans. For WWE enthusiasts, Worlds Collide represents more than just a show—it’s a glimpse into the future of international wrestling collaboration.
