History
[edit ]On April 19, 2025, shortly after announcing a joint event between its NXT brand division and Mexican lucha libre promotion AAA,[2] WWE commentator Michael Cole announced during the WrestleMania 41 pre-show that WWE had reached an agreement to acquire AAA, as part of a joint venture with Mexican sports and entertainment company Fillip. The following month, it was reported that WWE will own 51% of AAA with Fillip owning the remaining 49%; the acquisition closed on August 1, 2025.[3] [4]
AAA held Triplemanía Regia III on June 15, 2025 at Arena Monterrey in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico which was the final major event AAA held before the completion of the acquisition of the promotion by WWE.[5] On August 16, 2025, during Triplemanía XXXIII, which was held in collaboration with WWE, it was announced that WWE and AAA would hold a second Worlds Collide event on Friday, September 12, 2025, at the Cox Pavilion at the Thomas & Mack Center in the Las Vegas suburb of Paradise, Nevada.[6] [7] The event occurred during Mexican independence day weekend and was held the day before the Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford boxing event at nearby Allegiant Stadium which was promoted by newly-launched WWE sister group Zuffa Boxing.
On November 22, 2025 and November 28, 2025, AAA co-produced two episodes of Alianzas with the first one being aired on Space and simulcast on YouTube and the second one being aired exclusively on WWE's YouTube channel.[8] [9]
On November 25, 2025, WWE announced a media rights agreement with Fox, which will see weekly AAA programming air on Fox properties in Mexico and Latin America beginning in 2026.[10] The deal would also allow for special events like Rey de Reyes to be aired on the network beginning with their 2026 editions.[11] On December 10, 2025, AAA announced that they would hold their debut Lucha Libre AAA on Fox show on January 17, 2026 at Gimnasio Olímpico Juan de la Barrera in Mexico City.[12] On January 15, 2026, AAA announced that WWE wrestler Omos would make an appearance on the first episode.[13] On January 14, 2026, WWE announced that the first match would be a #1 contendership match for the AAA Mega Championship between El Grande Americano and El Hijo del Vikingo.[14] Additional matches would be announced on January 15, 2026 including a non-title match between AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Flammer and Lady Shani and a six-man tag team match between La Parka, Mr. Iguana, and Niño Hamburguesa and Los Vipers (Abismo Negro Jr., Histeria, and Taurus) The first episode premiered live with tapings for an additional two weeks of episodes being held the same night.[15]
Roster
[edit ]The wrestlers featured on Lucha Libre AAA take part in scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers are portrayed as heroes (técnicos in Mexico), villains (referred to as rudos in Mexico), or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match.
The primary Spanish-language commentators for Lucha Libre AAA are José Manuel Guillén and Roberto Figueroa. The primary English-language commentators are Corey Graves, John "Bradshaw" Layfield, and Savio Vega with Vega also acting as an interpreter/translator. Rey Mysterio serves as the General Manager of the program; Mysterio had previously been an English-language commentator on the program prior to being made General Manager.
