Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide is gearing up for a major visibility boost across Latin America. The promotion — now majority-owned by WWE following their joint acquisition with Mexican firm Fillip earlier this year — has announced a sweeping broadcast agreement that will place AAA programming on FOX platforms beginning in 2026.
The new partnership will see AAA’s marquee shows, including its signature TripleMania events, carried throughout Mexico, Central America, and most of South America (Brazil being the lone exception). Content will air across multiple FOX outlets, including the FOX Tubi channel, FOX’s paid TV network in the region, and the company’s standalone streaming service, FOX One.
Patrick Dooley, WWE’s Senior VP of Global Strategy and Creative Operations, praised the deal as a major step forward for the promotion, noting that FOX’s reach will help expose lucha libre to entirely new audiences. WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio also lent his support, sharing that seeing AAA — the company where he sharpened his craft decades ago — showcased on such a major platform filled him with “pride and excitement.” He added that expanding lucha libre’s cultural storytelling to a wider audience is only the beginning.
The timing lines up with WWE’s ongoing efforts to fold AAA more tightly into its global strategy. Since obtaining a controlling 51% stake in April, WWE has been steadily integrating the 33-year-old promotion into its ecosystem, sending talent back and forth, reviving big events, and positioning AAA as a major player in regions where WWE has long sought deeper traction.
Now, with a FOX deal covering nearly an entire continent, AAA’s profile looks poised to reach heights it hasn’t seen in years — and the WWE-AAA partnership continues to reshape the international wrestling landscape.
