Changes Coming To AAA Following WWE Acquisition

The future of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide will be financially stable following WWE’s acquisition of the company, but there are changes to come for the storied promotion.

WWE announced the deal ahead of WrestleMania 41 night one, with WWE’s Jeremy Borash later revealed to be a part of AAA's creative alongside Konnan. Speaking on the Keepin’ it 100 podcast, AAA legend Konnan spoke on why the time was right for AAA to sell:

“Our problem in AAA isn’t our talent, isn’t our booking, it’s that we didn’t have any money. So for example, they said in WWE that if you put all our TVs together for one year, it’s not as much as they spend on one TV [taping] in the United States,” Konnan said.

“Our show will look a lot better and we’re going to be able to work with their talent, not just NXT talent. And now with money, you’ll see what we can do.”

There have been discussions within WWE that the company could turn AAA into NXT Mexico. Regardless of whether that happens or not, Konnan maintained that a sale was the right call:

“Bro, the reason they sold the company is not because we were going out of business. The reason they sold the company is because Dorian Rodan put his ego to the side and he understood we could never grow if we didn’t have help and capital, and now we have it. But business is not bad. The last two years, all of our TVs have been from 85% to full, right? Our business is not bad.”
