Rey Mysterio Teases Signing of Former WWE World Champion for AAA Debut

Rey Mysterio is making moves as AAA General Manager. During the June 20th episode of Lucha Libre AAA on FOX, Mysterio addressed the media and revealed that he is on the verge of bringing a former WWE World Champion into the fold — a name, he noted, who has never previously competed for the Mexican promotion.

The announcement adds another layer of intrigue to Mysterio’s tenure as AAA’s on-screen authority figure, a role that has seen him actively working to elevate the company’s talent roster and profile. The specifics of the deal were not disclosed, but Mysterio’s comments strongly suggest an agreement is close to being finalized.

The fact that the individual in question has no prior AAA history makes this a potentially significant moment for the promotion. AAA has a long tradition of crossing over with major North American talent, but landing someone with a WWE world title reign on their résumé — someone who has never worked the promotion before — would represent a fresh and notable addition to their lineup.

With Lucha Libre AAA airing on FOX, the timing of the tease is clearly designed to generate buzz heading into what figures to be a major reveal. Wrestling fans will be watching closely to see which former champion Mysterio ultimately delivers to the brand.
