Rey Mysterio to induct Konnan into AAA Hall of Fame
Rey Mysterio is set to play a role at Lucha Libre AAA Triplemania later this month, inducting one of his best friends into the company’s Hall of Fame.
Mysterio sent out a tweet today announcing that he will induct Konnan into the AAA Hall of Fame at Triplemania on Saturday, August 16. The show is taking place in Mexico City and will air live on WWE’s YouTube channel in both English and Spanish.
“It’s an honor for me to induct my brother @Konnan5150 into the Hall of Fame this August 16th at TripleMania!! @luchalibreaaa,” Mysterio wrote.
The AAA Hall of Fame was first established in 2007 and includes Mysterio as a member.
Konnan has been a friend and mentor to Mysterio for decades, and Mysterio is now returning the favor for Konnan after Konnan helped induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2023.
A superstar in Mexico, Konnan also had success in the United States for WCW. He’s been a key backstage player in Mexico as the booker of AAA.
WWE announced its acquisition of AAA this April ahead of the companies presenting a Worlds Collide event together in Los Angeles in June. Konnan was one of the commentators for the show, which also featured an appearance by Mysterio. A torn groin has sidelined Mysterio since April, but he could be back soon with Mysterio targeting August for a return to the ring.
Rey’s son Dominik Mysterio will be competing in the main event of Triplemania. It’s a four-way match with El Hijo del Vikingo defending the AAA Mega Championship against Dominik, Dragon Lee, and El Grande Americano.
