Coming off their second Worlds Collide show of the year, WWE is reportedly considering another AAA event before the end of the year: that being during Survivor Series weekend.
First reported on WrestleVotes Radio Thursday, the outlet cited sources within WWE with the news that “at least one more AAA streaming event” is being considered by year’s end with speculation pointing to San Diego where the PLE will be held.
This past weekend’s Worlds Collide was held in Las Vegas as part of a weekend that featured the Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford boxing match on Saturday. The show aired after Friday’s WWE SmackDown which was held on the East Coast.
During WrestleMania weekend, it was announced that WWE was set to purchase AAA along with Mexican-based holding company Filip. The deal has yet to officially go through, but is believed to be in the final stages of completion.
Starting with the first Worlds Collide in June as part of the impending deal, WWE has sent talent to AAA shows and also aired last month’s Triplemania on their YouTube channel. WWE Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio won the company’s Mega title last Friday, pictured above.
