WWE today announced the surprise acquisition of Lucha Libre
AAA in conjunction with Mexican entertainment company Filip.
The announcement came during the Countdown to WrestleMania
show as Triple H, surrounded by several of WWE’s Mexican
wrestlers along with AAA General Manager Dorian Roldan Pena,
AAA President Marisela Pena, Fillip co-founder Alberto Fasja
Cohen, and popular star Vikingo.
There were no details regarding the business transaction
announced.
This is the first time that WWE purchased another wrestling
company since 2001 when they acquired WCW.
“A partnership that will benefit the entire world of sports-
entertainment. Lucha Libre AAA has been a cultural mainstay
in Mexico and the home to many WWE Superstars,” Triple H
wrote on X. “This partnership will guarantee that AAA remains
the premier destination for wrestling in Mexico.”
Triple H then thanked Patrick Dooley and Kevin Rohnke from
TKO Group for helping to make this possible.
