Rey Mysterio’s Raw Tease of Roman Reigns Prompts Talk of a Possible AAA Appearance

WWE’s ownership of Lucha Libre AAA gives any Reigns appearance a clear corporate path and raises questions about where and when he might show up.

Overview

  • A closing Raw segment that aired Aug. 3 showed Rey Mysterio, now AAA general manager, approach Roman Reigns, remind him of the AAA role, and ask “let me run something by you,” and WWE later shared the clip on social media.
  • No company has confirmed that Reigns will appear or wrestle for AAA and current coverage frames all plans as speculation rather than fact.
  • Industry reporting by Dave Meltzer says Reigns is unlikely to work the Edinburg (Heatwave) or Triplemania Las Vegas dates and floated NXT/AAA Worlds Collide in Chicago on Sept. 26 as a possible option, but this remains unverified.
  • Triplemania Night One was recently moved from a roughly 1,000-seat site to a roughly 15,000-seat venue for Sept. 11, a change that has intensified fan talk about a marquee appearance even though sources have not confirmed booking details.
  • If Reigns did appear it would be notable because he has never wrestled outside WWE and WWE’s April 2025 purchase of AAA provides the corporate mechanism for cross-promotion, which could shift ticketing, TV plans, and rival event scheduling in September.
