El Hijo del Vikingo hoping to join WWE main roster soon
Lucha Libre AAA star El Hijo del Vikingo is hoping to join the WWE main roster in the near future.
At Rey de Reyes 2026 this Saturday night, Vikingo is challenging Dominik Mysterio for the AAA Mega Championship in a no disqualification match. The bout also comes with a couple of added stipulations. If Vikingo wins, Dominik has to leave AAA. If Dominik wins, Vikingo cannot challenge him for the title again.
Vikingo spoke with Denise Salcedo ahead of the match and was asked about his WWE goals. He is focused on this bout against Dominik right now but is looking forward to entering the main roster.
“After I defeat Dominik for the championship, I will enter the main roster of WWE,” Vikingo said. “We already entered the video game [WWE 2K], now we are going to enter the main roster. Those are my short-term plans.”
When he does get to Raw or SmackDown, Vikingo wants to mix it up with the other luchadores.
“I had a lot of matches with Penta inside of AAA, out of Mexico, and a lot of other places. I would like to face Penta, Fenix, Dragon Lee, and Rey Mysterio now being in the main roster,” he responded when asked about potential opponents.
Vikingo has been one of AAA’s top stars dating back to before WWE acquired the lucha libre company in 2025. He has some past experience in AEW and TNA Wrestling as well.
Saturday’s Rey de Reyes card has a start time of 10 p.m. Eastern, airing on Fox in Latin America and on YouTube and Facebook outside of that region.
