Good news for fans of zero miedo. After a rough landing sidelined Penta on WWE RAW late last month, it sounds like the former tag champ is inching toward a full medical clearance.
During his match with Solo Sikoa in the Last Time Is Now Tournament, Penta attempted a high-risk hurricanrana off the barricade—only to come down hard on his shoulder. The bout was waved off, giving Sikoa the win, and Penta has been off TV ever since.
This week, noted luchador physician Dr. Odiseo posted an update on Instagram alongside Penta, offering encouraging news on the masked star’s recovery. According to Odiseo, the injury is healing on schedule and Penta could officially be cleared as early as Friday.
“Penta is on the right track, and we’ve seen good results. We can’t let up, but I’m confident he’ll be ready by Friday,” Odiseo said.
Fans also wondered whether this timeline would allow Penta to make his previously advertised appearance at AAA’s Guerra de Titanes—where he and Rey Fénix are slated to face Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano. Odiseo kept expectations hopeful but cautious, responding simply:
“Hope so.”
The 26th annual Guerra de Titanes takes place December 20 at Arena Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico. If all goes well, Penta could be back in action just in time for one of AAA’s biggest cards of the year.
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.
The Guerrero legacy lives on in WWE. During a recent chat with veteran journalist Bill Apter, Chavo Guerrero confirmed that he’s officially back with the company — this time taking on a behind-the-scenes role connected to WWE’s ongoing partnership with Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide.
Rumors of Chavo’s return began swirling earlier this year when he was spotted backstage at a WWE × AAA event. Now, the 55-year-old wrestling veteran has confirmed that he’s signed a new deal and is helping coordinate WWE’s crossover shows with AAA.
“Yeah, I just re-signed with WWE,” Chavo said. “I’m helping out with their AAA shows and putting things together. I’m back with them.”
Chavo expressed excitement about the collaboration, calling it a major step for the future of Lucha Libre under the WWE banner.
“Just to see AAA under that WWE umbrella is pretty awesome,” he continued. “We want to keep the tradition of Lucha Libre alive — what makes it so amazing — and combine that with WWE’s marketing and production. The sky’s the limit. I think the show’s going to skyrocket and give fans even better wrestling.”
As part of one of wrestling’s most respected dynasties, Chavo’s return brings not only experience but authenticity to WWE’s growing connection with Latin American audiences. His blend of ring knowledge, cultural insight, and storytelling history could make him a key figure in shaping how WWE presents Lucha Libre on a global stage.
With WWE and AAA working closer than ever, and Chavo Guerrero now back in the mix, fans could be witnessing the start of a new golden era for international wrestling collaboration.
With WWE now officially owning AAA, several of the Mexican promotion’s top stars have already started finding their way onto WWE programming. But one name noticeably missing from the spotlight is Alberto El Patron — and his future remains very uncertain.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE inherited Patron’s AAA contract when they acquired the company. However, the former WWE Champion hasn’t been used on television, nor has he been featured in major AAA events like Worlds Collide or Triplemania.
Despite still having a strong fan following in Mexico — with crowds regularly chanting his name during AAA shows — WWE has no immediate creative plans for Patron. His history of personal controversies, combined with his rocky past relationship with WWE, has reportedly made the company hesitant about committing to him in any major capacity.
Patron most recently competed on September 26 at an AAA affiliate event, teaming with Mr. Iguana in a winning effort. But storyline-wise, he was written out of AAA after losing a “Loser Leaves Town” match, further fueling speculation about whether WWE will ever bring him back into the fold.
At this point, Patron’s future is up in the air. WWE may simply keep him under contract without using him, or they could look for a way to test the waters with a one-off appearance down the line. For now, though, fans hoping to see Alberto El Patron back on a big stage will have to keep waiting.
WWE and Lucha Libre AAA came together in Las Vegas for an unforgettable supershow, blending lucha libre tradition with WWE spectacle. Legends like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, Marisela Peña, and Dorian Roldan were all in attendance. Aida Cuevas performed Mexico’s national anthem while Lilian Garcia handled the U.S. anthem. Commentary was split with Corey Graves, Konnan, and JBL calling the action in English, while Roberto Figueroa, Jose Manuel Guillen, and Marcelo Rodriguez handled the Spanish broadcast.
Penta’s Promise
Penta El Zero Miedo kicked off the night, rallying the crowd ahead of Mexico’s Independence Day celebrations. He vowed that he’d do what he’s never done in AAA—capture the Mega Championship.
Lucha Showcase – La Parka, Laredo Kid, Octagón Jr. & Mascarita Sagrada def. Cruz Del Toro, Joaquin Wilde, Lince Dorado & Mini Abismo Negro
The opener delivered everything you’d expect from a lucha free-for-all. Big dives, wild exchanges, and of course, La Parka’s dancing. The finish saw Mascarita Sagrada outsmart Mini Abismo with a slick roll-up for the win.
Dirty Dom vs. Rey Mysterio – Family Tension Heats Up
Dominik Mysterio continued to stir the pot, demanding that his father Rey strap the AAA Mega Championship around his waist when he wins it. Finn Balor, however, insisted Dom should do it on his own.
#1 Contender’s Match – Natalya def. Faby Apache
This one was a physical clash that turned into a mat-based chess game. After escaping Faby’s attempt at a Sharpshooter, Natalya countered into a series of pin attempts and managed to secure the win. The tension post-match showed this rivalry is far from finished.
Tag Team Title Drama – Psycho Clown & Pagano (c) def. Kofi Kingston & Grayson Waller
With Xavier Woods sidelined from a neck injury, Grayson Waller teamed with Kofi Kingston in an attempt to dethrone AAA’s hardcore duo. Woods still made his presence felt at ringside—only to run in fear after Psycho Clown tore off his own mask mid-match. That left Kingston and Waller vulnerable, and the champs hit double Mexican Destroyers before Psycho cradled Waller for the pin.
But the celebration was short-lived. The Wyatt Sicks appeared in the dark and brutalized the champs. Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, and Uncle Howdy left both men destroyed, holding up the AAA Tag Titles to close the segment.
Mixed Tag Mayhem – Mr. Iguana & Lola Vice def. Finn Balor & Roxanne Perez
This one turned chaotic thanks to puppet warfare between La Yesca and Demonito. The comedy didn’t overshadow the action though. After Balor nearly stole it, Lola Vice fired off a spinning backfist on Roxanne to seal the victory for her team.
Latin American Championship – El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. (c) def. Dragon Lee, Ethan Page & JD McDonagh
A four-way car crash saw all four men throwing bombs. In the end, Wagner capitalized after a series of rapid counters, planting JD with the Wagner Driver to retain his title.
Main Event – Dominik Mysterio def. El Hijo del Vikingo (c) to win the AAA Mega Championship
The unthinkable happened in the main event: Dirty Dom is the new AAA Mega Champion.
The crowd was surprisingly pro-Dominik, chanting for him throughout as Vikingo received a mixed reaction. The bout was filled with interference—Balor and JD McDonagh tried to tilt things, but Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee evened the odds. At one point, El Grande Americano yanked the referee out, keeping Vikingo from getting a sure win.
After a series of near falls, Dom loaded his mask with a foreign object and cracked Vikingo with a flying headbutt, followed by a frog splash. This time the ref was in position, and the three-count sealed it.
Post-match, Dominik forced his father to strap the belt around his waist, then celebrated with The Judgment Day and El Grande Americano, cementing his shocking title win.
AAA’s biggest night of the year, Triplemanía XXXII, went down on August 16th with a stacked card full of surprises, international star power, and wild lucha libre chaos. With Corey Graves, Konnan, and JBL calling the action on English commentary, the show delivered spectacle from start to finish.
Omos Claims La Copa Bardahl

Microman by Omos, 11. Mecha Wolf by La Parka, 12. Octagon Jr. by Omos, 13. La Parka by Omos, Winner: Omos.
El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. Wins Latin American Championship
El Mesias entered dressed in Doctor Doom-inspired gear, but it was El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. who left with the gold. Dorian Roldan’s constant interference backfired when Dr. Wagner Sr., sitting ringside, finally had enough and knocked Roldan out. With the crowd behind him, Wagner Jr. hit a superplex followed by a Wagner Driver to claim the Latin American Championship.
Judgment Day Triumphs in Mixed Trios Action
Finn Bálor, JD McDonagh, and Raquel Rodriguez got the win over Niño Hamburguesa, Mr. Iguana, and Lola Vice in a chaotic mixed trios bout.

In the end, Raquel sealed the win for Judgment Day by planting Lola with the Texana Bomb.
New AAA World Tag Team Champions Crowned

Konnan Enters AAA Hall of Fame

Flammer Retains Reina de Reinas Title
Flammer escaped with her Reina de Reinas Championship against Faby Apache and Natalya, thanks to some shady officiating from El Hijo del Tirantes. Faby nearly had the match won after planting Natalya with a Michinoku Driver, but Flammer stole the victory with a quick crucifix pin and a fast count. Afterward, tensions flared between Faby and Natalya, teasing more to come.
Announcement: Worlds Collide Returns
AAA confirmed that Worlds Collide will return on Friday, September 12, in Las Vegas.
Hijo del Vikingo Retains Mega Championship in Chaotic Main Event
The main event saw Hijo del Vikingo retain the AAA Mega Championship against Dragon Lee, El Grande Americano, and Dominik Mysterio in a four-way spectacle that spiraled into pure chaos.
The match featured interference from Judgment Day, the LWO, and multiple masked “Americanos.” Dominik nearly stole the win with loaded headbutts and a frog splash, but just when it looked over, another masked figure pulled the referee out. The shocking reveal: AJ Styles. Styles laid out Dom with a Styles Clash, allowing Vikingo to hit his signature 630 senton and remain champion.
Final Take:Triplemanía XXXII delivered everything fans expect from AAA – star power, wild brawls, surprise debuts, and jaw-dropping lucha action. Omos had a career-defining moment, multiple titles changed hands, and the arrival of AJ Styles sets the stage for a massive storyline heading into the fall.

The long-rumored WWE takeover of AAA is now official—and the shake-ups are already underway.
As confirmed in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has finalized its acquisition of the Mexican lucha libre promotion AAA, and with that comes a significant cultural and structural overhaul. At the heart of WWE’s plan: blending its trademark sports-entertainment formula with the rich traditions of lucha libre, while laying the foundation for long-term talent development south of the border.
Mexican Performance Center On the Way
One of the most immediate changes will be the launch of a WWE Performance Center in Mexico. According to Dave Meltzer, WWE plans to hire Mexican trainers, fly them to the U.S. for instruction in the “WWE style,” and then have them return to Mexico to teach a hybrid style that combines lucha libre flair with WWE’s polished in-ring storytelling. That means new AAA recruits will be learning how to work matches and cut scripted promos—a major shift from the more improvisational, in-ring-centric traditions of Mexican wrestling.
Familiar Faces, But Some Will Go
AAA’s current Spanish commentary team—Jose Manuel Guillén and Roberto Figueroa—is expected to stay in place, and most referees will be retained as well. However, the famously over-the-top antics of AAA referees are going to be scaled back, in favor of a more grounded presentation that aligns with WWE’s overall production style.
WWE is also reportedly not planning to hold onto most of AAA’s veteran talent. Instead, they’ll be looking to bring in younger indie stars and some crossover names from WWE’s own roster. One notable example is Dominik Mysterio, who is expected to work in AAA as part of the new creative direction, alongside newly-signed talent El Grande Americano.
No War With CMLL… Yet
While many speculated that WWE would raid rival promotion CMLL for talent to boost its revamped AAA brand, Meltzer shut that down—at least for now. WWE is reportedly trying to keep operating costs low and avoid an all-out promotional war. That said, Meltzer also noted that a “war is inevitable,” especially with CMLL recently locking down several of its luchadors through dual deals with AEW.
Whether those AEW-CMLL contracts influenced WWE’s current strategy is unclear, but it’s evident that the rivalry between the two major Mexican promotions—and their respective U.S. partners—is starting to heat up.
WWE’s full-scale entry into the lucha libre world is one of the most ambitious international moves in company history. With a Performance Center on the way, younger talent being scouted, and its own stars primed for crossover appearances, WWE is setting the stage to reshape Mexican wrestling—and the global wrestling landscape—in a major way.
In a wild crossover moment that further cements the growing WWE-AAA partnership, two of Mexico’s most colorful and chaotic stars — Mr. Iguana and Psycho Clown — officially made their WWE main roster debuts on SmackDown, answering an open challenge for the AAA Tag Team Championships.
The reigning champions, Los Garza (Angel & Berto), issued the challenge on Friday night, looking to make their first WWE defense of the titles they won back in June. The surprise response? None other than Mr. Iguana, one-third of the AAA World Trios Champions, and Psycho Clown, one-half of the current AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champions.
True to form, the match was fast, frantic, and full of lucha-laced chaos.
Psycho Clown started strong, using his size and energy to overwhelm Los Garza early on. But the tide quickly turned once the champions isolated him and started a brutal double-team assault. Mr. Iguana, known for his unorthodox offense (and his trusty puppet sidekick La Yesca), made a memorable impact by biting Berto and attempting a high-risk aerial move. Unfortunately, he was caught in mid-air and powerbombed hard, shifting momentum firmly in Los Garza’s favor.
Despite a valiant rally from Clown — including a crowd-popping crossbody — the duo couldn’t overcome the cohesion of the champions. Los Garza finished things off with their signature MTY double-team finisher for the win.
While Iguana and Clown didn’t leave with the titles, their SmackDown debut made it clear: AAA’s presence in WWE is no longer a novelty — it’s part of the landscape.
Both luchadores had previously appeared in June during Worlds Collide, the WWE vs. AAA special event. Mr. Iguana teamed with Octagón Jr. and Aerostar in six-man action, while Psycho Clown joined Pagano and El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. in a brawl-heavy bout against Legado del Fantasma.
Now, with their official debuts behind them, fans are left wondering — is this just a one-off showcase, or the beginning of something bigger?
