WWE Hall of Famer to be part of AAA Triplemania XXXIII commentary team

JBL is heading to Mexico.

On Monday’s Something to Wrestle With podcast, the WWE legend announced that he would be heading to Mexico City this weekend as part of the Triplemania festivities, joining the commentating booth alongside Corey Graves.

“I just got the deal from WWE, not a deal. They asked me to come out to do commentary. Some of you call that a deal or not. It’s an engagement, it’s an appearance, whatever you want to call it. But I’m very excited to go be a part of Triplemania,” JBL said.

JBL later revealed that Jeremy Borash gave him the okay to make the announcement on Something to Wrestle With.

PWInsider recently reported that Corey Graves would be the lead announcer for this weekend’s Triplemania, the first held under the WWE banner. Graves also did English commentary for WWE & AAA’s joint event Worlds Collide back in June with Konnan providing color commentary. 

JBL has made appearances in the last year for AAA as part of the top heel stable alongside Konnan, Dorian Roldan, and Alberto El Patron, with the group recently turning against Alberto. At the most recent television taping, Alberto lost his match against Mesias and as a result, had to leave AAA in storyline.
