Rey Mysterio reacts to chants for Alberto El Patron at Triplemania
AAA fans would like to see Alberto El Patron return to the promotion.
Last night during Triplemania, fans chanted for El Patron as Rey Mysterio was in the ring to induct Konnan into the AAA Hall of Fame. Mysterio acknowledged the chants and responded in Spanish, telling the crowd something to the effect of, “I’ll bring him. Wait on me.”
A clip of Mysterio responding to the chants is available here and also at the end of this article.
El Patron was recently banished from the promotion after losing to El Mesias at AAA’s show in Mexico City on July 25. The match carried the stipulation that if El Patron lost, he would have to leave the company.
El Patron lost the AAA Mega Championship to El Hijo del Vikingo on May 31, a little over a month after WWE announced it was purhcasing the company. Earlier this month, our own Dave Meltzer addressed his standing with WWE in the August 4, 2025, edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
Meltzer wrote:
“As of right now, there are no plans for Alberto El Patron in the U.S. market. But that could change. The belief is he will return to AAA soon. There are those in WWE who do want him on the main roster as they see his work as excellent in AAA (his matches are nothing but he does carry himself like a major superstar), since he was the most over guy and see him now as a guy who can be a major heel on the main roster or the top face on the AAA roster. However there is the negative baggage, including the social media reaction to him. That led to them taking the title off him and going with El Hijo del Vikingo, who the original idea would be the world champion and face of the Mexico promotion and also get exposure on major WWE television in an initial idea.”
