Bronco Nima Joins Perros del Mal in AAA, Moves to Reassure Lucien Price That OTM Remains United

Bronco Nima’s appearance in AAA under the Perros del Mal banner has created some internal tension worth addressing — at least according to Nima himself. Following his arrival in the Mexican promotion and his alignment with Perros del Mal, Nima reached out to OTM stablemate Lucien Price to make clear that the group is still on the same page despite his cross-promotional move.

Nima and Price are both members of OTM, the faction that has been a fixture on WWE NXT. Nima’s decision to link up with one of lucha libre’s most storied stables — Perros del Mal — raises natural questions about where his loyalties lie, and the conversation between the two partners suggests those questions aren’t going unnoticed internally. That Nima felt the need to personally reassure Price speaks to how significant the move is perceived to be, even if Nima is insisting it doesn’t change the group’s dynamic.

Elsewhere on the June 23 edition of WWE NXT on The CW, another OTM-adjacent storyline continued to simmer. After Jaida Parker suffered a loss to Nattie, Parker encountered Nattie’s allies Karmen Petrovic and Nikkita Lyons backstage. The two wasted no time getting under Parker’s skin, with Petrovic echoing Nattie’s earlier dig that Parker is ‘soft’ — a taunt clearly designed to get into Parker’s head heading forward.

With Nima now operating in AAA while OTM’s cohesion gets tested from multiple angles, the coming weeks will be telling for the faction’s future on NXT.
