A former WWE World Heavyweight Champion has officially debuted in AAA following a recent tease from General Manager Rey Mysterio.

On AAA’s television simulcast in recent weeks, Mysterio has highlighted strategies to elevate the brand, including a partnership with NXT General Manager Robert Stone for cross‑promotion appearances.

During one episode, Mysterio hinted at an impending arrival of a former WWE World Champion, sparking speculation among fans about the identity of the newcomer.

Damian Priest Debuts in AAA

In the latest broadcast on FOX, Rey Mysterio opened the show with a major announcement: the former World Champion was none other than current WWE Tag Team Champion Damian Priest.

Priest emphasized his accomplishments in WWE while expressing a desire to leave his mark in AAA and reach new heights within the promotion.

He and R‑Truth are slated to confront the War Raiders in a Tag Team Championship title‑for‑title match on SmackDown, a confrontation that has intensified backstage tensions.

More Premier Roster Stars in the Pipeline?

With Priest’s arrival, accompanied by recent appearances from Bayley and former NXT Women’s Champion Lola Vice, it appears that a range of WWE’s main roster talent could soon feature in AAA.

The current El Grande Americano storyline is anticipated to be one of the most compelling rivalries this year, bolstering interest across the brand.

Underrated talents such as Fraxiom, Ilja wurden Dragunov, Johnny Gargano, and Candice LeRae present opportunities for fresh dynamics should they choose to participate further interaction with AAA.

Rey Fenix’s recent defense of the AAA Cruiserweight Championship on SmackDown, including matches against Hijo del Vikingo, underscores the deepening ties between WWE and AAA.
