Rey Mysterio approached Roman Reigns on Monday to discuss a potential business collaboration involving the wrestling promotion AAA [1].
The interaction suggests a possible cross-promotional appearance for the World Heavyweight Champion, which would signal a significant partnership between WWE and the Mexican-based promotion.
The encounter occurred during the Aug. 3, 2026 [1], episode of WWE Raw at Casey's Center in Des Moines, Iowa. Following the main event, Mysterio said he is the General Manager of AAA and requested to run a specific idea by the champion [2].
While the details of the proposal remain private, reports indicate that the discussion may center on a presence at TripleMania 2026 [3]. This event is scheduled as a two-night spectacular, and Mysterio has previously teased a massive presence for the champion at the show [3].
Reigns did not provide an immediate public answer to the proposal during the broadcast. The timing of the approach follows the recent SummerSlam event, placing the interaction during a period of high visibility for the champion [4].
Mysterio's dual role as a WWE talent and an AAA executive provides a unique bridge for such collaborations. The prospect of a WWE World Heavyweight Champion appearing in a AAA ring would be a rare occurrence in the current wrestling landscape [2].
WWE and AAA have a history of talent exchange, but a formal appearance by a top-tier champion at TripleMania would represent a deeper level of integration between the two companies [3].
“Rey Mysterio identified himself to Reigns as the General Manager of AAA.”
This interaction points toward an expanding strategic partnership between WWE and AAA. If Roman Reigns appears at TripleMania 2026, it would validate AAA's global standing and provide WWE with a streamlined path to penetrate the Mexican market more aggressively using its top star.
