Overview
- AAA president Marisela Peña introduced Rey Mysterio as the promotion’s new general manager during the live AAA TV broadcast on Saturday night, May 23.
- The on-air reveal closed a staged candidate series that featured Chessman, Texano Jr., Cibernetico and outside interest from JBL.
- Cameras showed AAA mega champion Dominik Mysterio visibly angry backstage, and Dorian Roldán reacted with frustration after losing an expected shot at the role.
- Savio Vega moved to English commentary to cover Rey’s previous spot on the broadcast, and AAA framed the hire as part of a new era after WWE’s acquisition of the promotion.
- AAA and WWE have not said what the GM job means for Rey’s in-ring WWE career, and viewers should watch for formal announcements and storyline developments in the coming weeks.
