A supposedly prolific luchador with a rich history of success in Mexico, the Americano character was introduced into WWE storylines earlier this year as part of an angle where Chad Gable was attempting to conquer lucha libre. Though Gable was recently forced out of action with a shoulder injury that required surgery, Americano is sticking around with Kaiser donning the mask.
WWE revealed in April that it is in the process of acquiring Lucha Libre AAA. That deal is expected to be completed soon, with July-September given as the anticipated range of when it would be finalized.
This AAA TV taping is being held at Mexico City’s Juan de la Barrera Olympic Gymnasium. The event was originally scheduled for July 19 before AAA announced that it was being pushed back to July 25.
