AAA Is Finished Putting Championships On AEW Wrestlers

Don’t expect to see AEW talent draped in championship gold from AAA, with the possible exception of Kenny Omega.

At the recent Noche de Campeones event, FTR lost the AAA World Tag Team Championships to Dralistico and Dragon Lee, the latter of whom announced his WWE deal shortly after.

Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo were stripped of the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championships after Melo was pulled from the event.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AAA is finished putting titles on AEW talent for the time being due to the difficulties with booking them.

“Right now the plan is that unless it’s Kenny Omega, who they still want as their Mega champion because of his work and name value if they can get dates on him, they don’t want titles on AEW wrestlers because of the difficulty in confirming dates on them.”

Instead of appearing for AAA, Melo competed on this week’s Dynamite, teaming with Anna Jay to defeat Ruby Soho and Willow Nightingale.

AEW TV Will Reportedly Be Getting A New Look In January

Michael Mansury, the former Vice President of Global Television Production for WWE, has been hired by AEW, and now changes are expected for AEW programming. 

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that part of the deal for Mansury being brought in is that Warner Brothers Discovery and AEW President Tony Khan have decided to change the look of the television programming. 

It’s believed that the planned changes will go into effect at some point in January.

A person within WWE gave the following comments regarding Manusary being signed by AEW:

“Tremendous asset. Was being groomed to be the heir apparent to the Kevin Dunn throne, but moved up too quickly and much like David Sahadi and several others, that’s when Dunn covertly made his life very difficult.”
