The ex world titleholder not long ago teased by Rey Mysterio for AAA may have already been disclosed—and it is a name WWE viewers know very well.
During a in the gorilla position area segment on Saturday’s live AAA on Fox broadcast, Mysterio hinted that AAA was close to bringing in a previous world gold holder who had never previously surfaced for the promotion.
While no name was mentioned on the broadcast, social media reports from audience in attendance at Saturday’s AAA television taping in Mérida, Yucatán, suggest that the mystery star could be Damian Priest.
Priest appeared during the portion of the taping that took place after the live broadcast ended, as indicated by attendees. Photos shared online appeared to show the previous WWE World Heavyweight Reigning champion addressing the spectators in the ring.
As of this writing, complete spoilers from the taping have not surfaced, and AAA has not officially affirmed Priest’s involvement.
On the other hand, Priest would fit Mysterio’s description perfectly.
Priest captured the belt in 2024 after successfully cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, a former WWE World Heavyweight Titleholder. Despite his extensive career in WWE, NXT, Ring of Honor, and other promotions, he has never previously wrestled for AAA.
If acknowledged, the appearance would mark another significant crossover moment between WWE and AAA following the strengthening relationship between the two promotions.
Elsewhere on Saturday’s AAA on Fox episode, the Perros del Mal faction officially returned.
The reformed group now consists of Karmen Petrovic, Bronco Nima, Angel Garza, Berto, and Daga.
The faction wasted little time making an impact, attacking El Grande Americano during the closing moments of the show.
The assault came shortly after Americano declared that his sights were set on Dominik Mysterio and the AAA Mega Crown, potentially setting the stage for a major storyline heading into AAA’s approaching events.
Should Priest’s appearance be officially affirmed, it would add yet another notable WWE name to AAA programming and further demonstrate the growing collaboration between the two companies.
