Rey Mysterio has been appointed as the General Manager of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide.
The move signals a deeper integration between the Mexican promotion and global wrestling markets, leveraging Mysterio's international profile to expand AAA's reach.
In a recent announcement, Mysterio discussed the upcoming Noche de Los Grandes event. He also detailed plans for the AAA Mega Champion title defense, which is scheduled for September [2]. This title bout will take place on the second night of the TripleMania event, which is slated to run for two days [1].
Beyond the domestic Mexican scene, Mysterio highlighted the intersection of AAA and WWE programming. He previewed upcoming Raw and SmackDown shows as part of a South American tour. This strategy aims to integrate WWE content into the South American market while promoting AAA's major event calendar.
The appointment places Mysterio in a pivotal administrative role, bridging the gap between traditional lucha libre and the modern global wrestling landscape. By managing both the TripleMania schedule and coordinating with international tours, he serves as a primary liaison for the promotion's growth.
Mysterio said the upcoming events represent a significant period for the organization. The focus remains on elevating the AAA Mega Championship and maximizing the visibility of the brand across the Americas during these high-profile tours.

Mysterio's dual influence within AAA and his visibility with WWE suggests a strategic partnership aimed at cross-promoting talent and events. By aligning AAA's biggest show, TripleMania, with WWE's South American expansion, the organizations are likely attempting to capture a larger share of the Latin American wrestling audience through shared logistics and star power.
