Rey Mysterio Returns to AAA Following WWE Acquisition
Following WWE’s recent acquisition of Lucha Libre AAA, a Hall of Famer has made a notable appearance on the show. Just before WrestleMania 41, WWE officially announced its acquisition of AAA, with Triple H, the promotion’s chief content officer, also commenting on the development. Now, within a short span of time since the acquisition news, former AAA roster member and Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio has made his official return to the show.
Rey Mysterio, a former World Champion, was featured in a video package at the start of AAA’s show on Saturday, marking the promotion’s first episode post-acquisition. While Mysterio did not appear in person at the event, it is speculated that his absence may be attributed to ongoing health concerns. Recently, Mysterio took to Instagram to announce his upcoming surgery for a torn abductor.
Notably, Rey Mysterio is not the only AAA alum within the WWE roster. Wrestlers like Rey Fenix, Penta, and Dragon Lee, who have their roots in AAA, are also expected to make a return following the acquisition. This move highlights the interconnected nature of the wrestling world and the opportunities it presents for talent across different promotions.
