Wrestling Will Never Die
The phrase “Wrestlemania Will Never Die” was no longer just words: it became a cry of resistance after the shocking events of WrestleMania 41.
This event not only offered unforgettable bouts, thanks to the announcement of WWE‘s acquisition of AAA.
WWE and AAA: A Historic Alliance
Hours before the Las Vegas supershow, rumors of a possible promotion crossover rocked social media.
Shortly after, during the pre-show, Michael Cole, Triple H, AAA’s Dorian Roldan Pena, Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee, Stephanie Vaquer and Vikingo met to make it official.
Plus, the future just got even more exciting. The NXT x AAA Worlds Collide event was announced, which will take place on June 7 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
Triple H expressed his enthusiasm for this historic merger on social media.
In fact, he called it a “global benefit for sports entertainment. He also promised that AAA would continue tobe “the premier destination for wrestling in Mexico”.
Fan Reaction: Excitement or Concern?
While many fans celebrated this historic union, others expressed concern.
Some fear that WWE ‘s influence will dilute the vibrant and colorful spirit of Mexican wrestling.
As a result, several critics warned that AAA’ s unique style could be threatened.
They fear it could become a more polished version, but disconnected from its deep cultural roots.
However, the fans’ passion for authentic wrestling remains intact.
Therefore, the debate about the future of the sport is just beginning.
CMLL Responds: La Tradición No Se Rinde
The Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), AAA’ s eternal rival and the world’s oldest promotion, was quick to react.During the broadcast of Viernes Espectacular on April 25, CMLL sent a powerful message from the heart of its most sacred stage:
“As long as Arena Mexico exists, La Lucha Libre will never die.”
Consequently, Arena Mexico, known as the “Cathedral of Lucha Libre”, reaffirmed its role as guardian of tradition. It reminded the world that, regardless of commercial alliances, the soul of Mexican wrestling beats stronger than ever.
Finally, a new war for the soul of lucha libre begins.
CMLL is determined to protect its legacy at all costs.
