Rey Mysterio Teases Roman Reigns for AAA TripleMania Following Raw Street Fight

Key points

• Reigns approved Jacob Fatu’s post-match attack on Royce Keys before meeting Mysterio backstage.
• Mysterio, as AAA GM, told Reigns he had a proposal to discuss, ending the show on a cliffhanger.
• TripleMania Night 1 moved to MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas due to high demand.
• Worlds Collide in Chicago coincides with AEW All Out, featuring WWE and AAA talent.
• Reigns has no prior history with most AAA roster members, making a match against Vikingo or Penta plausible.

Background

Following SummerSlam, WWE intensified its rivalry with AEW by scheduling joint events with AAA. Recent archive coverage noted internal tensions within The Bloodline after Fatu’s loyalty test, while Reigns’ post-SummerSlam comments sparked speculation about his future direction. The company has been leveraging AAA to counter AEW’s major events, including a head-to-head clash in Chicago.

How outlets are covering it

WrestleTalk and Fightful focused on the immediate backstage interaction, noting the lack of confirmed details. Last Word On Sports emphasized the strategic move to Las Vegas for TripleMania Night 1, highlighting the venue upgrade to MGM Grand Arena. F4W/WON contextualized the tease within WWE’s broader anti-AEW strategy, noting the simultaneous Chicago events. While all outlets agree on the Mysterio-Reigns meeting, Last Word On Sports speculated on specific match-ups like Reigns vs. Vikingo, whereas WrestleTalk suggested Penta as a potential opponent due to star power.

Why it matters

A Reigns appearance in Mexico or Las Vegas would mark a significant cross-promotional milestone, potentially boosting AAA’s global profile and solidifying WWE’s competitive edge against AEW. It also signals a shift in The Bloodline’s narrative, moving beyond internal WWE conflicts to international territory.

What to watch

Expect official announcements regarding Reigns’ involvement at TripleMania (Sept 11-13) or Worlds Collide (Sept 26). WWE may use the Las Vegas venue upgrade to accommodate a larger audience for a potential Reigns match. The outcome of the Mysterio proposal will likely be revealed in the coming weeks.
