WWE has announced the acquisition of AAA, one of the biggest professional wrestling promotions in Mexico, from Mexico-based sports and entertainment holding company Fillip. The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and is expected to close in Q3 2025.
The announcement was made as part of the WrestleMania 41 countdown show over the weekend by WWE chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, Fillip’s chairman Alberto Fasja, AAA’s Marisela Peña and Dorian Roldán Peña, WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, and El Hijo Del Vikingo.
“AAA has a rich cultural heritage with some of the most passionate fans in the world and it’s an honor to work with the Peña family to embark on this journey,” said Levesque. “By bringing together WWE’s global capabilities and AAA’s amazing tradition, we look forward to an exciting future filled with new opportunities.”
WWE and AAA will hold a joint show on June 7 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, dubbed “Worlds Collide.” The exact match card will be announced at a later date, but the show will feature both WWE and AAA talent.
“We look forward to partnering with WWE and TKO on this venture to secure the future of AAA for fans and to help take this business to the next level,” said Fillip co-founder and co-CEO Hugo López-Velarde.
AAA was originally founded in 1992 by Antonio Peña and continues to be operated by the Peña family. The Peñas will continue to be involved in AAA along with WWE and Fillip. AAA is one of the most famous lucha libre promotions in the world and has been home to talent including Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, and recent WWE additions Penta and Fénix.
AAA was founded in 1992 by Antonio Peña and has been a family-operated business for more than 30 years, with some of the greatest talent in lucha libre history, including Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio and Penta, calling AAA home throughout their careers. The Peña family will continue to be involved in the next chapter of the AAA business alongside WWE and Fillip.
“AAA has been a family-operated promotion for over three decades and our trust could not be better placed than with one of the biggest sports entertainment businesses in the world,” said AAA General Manager Dorian Roldán Peña.
