Konnan Addresses AAA Future & Creative After WWE Acquisition

WWE/AAA

Konnan has addressed WWE’s acquisition of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, commenting on the future of the company.

This acquisition was announced during the WrestleMania 31 Night One pre-show, with an AAA X NXT Worlds Collide event announced for June 7.

Konnan discussed the future of AAA on his Keepin’ It 100 podcast, where he noted that this change will improve the Mexican promotion’s production quality.

Anticipating bigger budgets, he said:

“Our problem in AAA isn’t our talent, isn’t our booking, it’s that we didn’t have any money.

“So for example, they said in WWE that if you put all our TVs together for one year, it’s not as much as they spend on one TV in the United States.

“Our show will look a lot better and we’re going to be able to work with their talent, not just NXT talent. And now with money, you’ll see what we can do.”

Konnan responded to reports that WWE’s Jeremy Borash will be involved in AAA creative, noting:

“He’s a creative genius, no doubt about it. There’s nothing more fun, as you know, wrestling against your friends or working with your friends, right? He’s a good friend, so it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

WWE’s acquisition of AAA was reportedly in the works for well over a year ahead of its announcement in April.
