Carlos Cabrera appears at AAA Rey de Reyes, joins commentary team

Just days after reports came out he was released from WWE, longtime announcer Carlos Cabrera appeared on AAA Rey de Reyes tonight, joining the commentary booth.

Cabrera appeared prior to the start of the three-way trios match between La Empresa (Puma King, Sam Adonis, and DMT Azul), La Familia Real (LA Park, El Hijo de LA Park, and LA Park Jr.), and Nueva Generación Dinamita (El Cuatrero, Sanson, and Forastero). He joined Hugo Savinovich and José Manuel Guillén on commentary to call the match.

It was reported on February 17 that Cabrera was released from WWE after being with the company for 29 years. He had been the longtime Spanish language announcer, starting in 1994 and continued to be the voice of WWE’s Spanish language commentary with Marcelo Rodriguez up until recently. Savinovich had previously been Cabrera’s longtime commentary partner through 2011, when Savinovich was let go by WWE.

With Cabrera gone from WWE, Rodriguez will take over as the lead play-by-play announcer, with Jerry Soto as his partner.
