WWE Worlds Collide is making a highly anticipated comeback after a three-year hiatus, featuring thrilling cross-promotional talent appearing together for the first time. This event, which follows WWE’s recent acquisition of the AAA Lucha Libre promotion, will take place at the KIA Forum in Inglewood, California, and will livestream on YouTube at 3 PM EST, just hours before WWE Money in the Bank at the Intuit Dome. The card includes five matches showcasing a blend of WWE NXT stars and top AAA wrestlers.
El Hijo del Vikingo, having recently captured the AAA Mega Championship from Alberto El Patron, will defend his title against Chad Gable, who also competes under the masked persona El Grande Americano. Their rivalry intensified when Vikingo interfered in a WWE Raw match helping Penta qualify for Money in the Bank, after Gable had previously attacked Vikingo at ringside. Stephanie Vaquer, newly promoted to WWE’s main roster, teams with NXT’s Laura Krystynak to challenge Chic Tomensa and Dara in tag team action, continuing a heated feud involving their respective allies.
In another highlight, Ethan Page will defend his NXT North American Championship in a fatal four-way match against the high-flying and fast-paced talents of the children of Ray Phoenix, Jevon Evans, and Laredo Kid. The event also features a six-man tag match with Santos Escobar, Berto, and Angel facing off against El Hijo Dr. Wagner Jr., Psycho Clown, and Pagano, spotlighting the clash between WWE and AAA factions. Additionally, Dragon Lee, Cruz Del Toro, and Lince Dorado will take on Octagón Jr., Aero Star, and Mr. Iguana, marking a major encounter for competitors with deep roots in AAA wrestling.
Fan Take: This event is a thrilling showcase of cross-promotional wrestling, giving WWE fans a fresh perspective on international talent and expanding storylines beyond WWE’s traditional roster. It signifies WWE’s commitment to blending diverse wrestling styles and could reshape the future of talent exchanges and global wrestling collaborations.
