In an intriguing turn of events, the AAA Mega Championship scene is heating up as WWE plans to host a cross-promotional event titled Worlds Collide on June 7. The spotlight will shine on a match between WWE Raw star Chad Gable and AAA’s El Hijo Del Vikingo, although neither competitor currently holds the championship title.
The current AAA Mega Champion is Alberto Del Rio, known within the company as Alberto El Patron, who captured the title last August by defeating Nic Nemeth. He is scheduled to defend his championship against Vikingo at AAA’s upcoming show on May 31 in Mexico. However, WWE’s promotional materials suggest that the match between Vikingo and Gable at Worlds Collide will be for the AAA Mega Championship, implying a potential title change before the event takes place.
This promotion raises questions about the implications for Del Rio’s reign as champion, particularly since it hints that Vikingo may soon capture the title. The drama intensified during Raw this week, where Gable and Vikingo had a tense encounter, beginning with Gable delivering an unexpected strike to Vikingo. The ensuing match involved several high-flying maneuvers, leading to Gable’s defeat as Dragon Lee and Penta delivered punishing moves.
Notably, this follows WWE’s recent acquisition of AAA, which was announced last month. Vikingo was among the talents showcased during this significant moment, further emphasizing the growing collaboration between the two promotions.
This situation not only creates excitement among wrestling fans but also showcases the evolving landscape of wrestling promotions as they intertwine their storylines and characters. The potential clash at Worlds Collide promises to be an exhilarating bout, providing a fresh narrative for both AAA and WWE audiences. With title implications and high stakes, anticipation runs high as the wrestling community awaits the unfolding of these dramatic events.
