Rey Mysterio appears via video at AAA show: ‘The future flies here’

Rey Mysterio appeared via video at Saturday’s AAA event.
While WWE’s purchase of AAA has yet to be finalized, the two companies have begun promoting their joint event, Worlds Collide, set for June 7 at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.
A video featuring Mysterio promoting the event kicked off Saturday’s show in Mexico City. He says in the video:
“For nearly a century, Lucha Libre has redefined wrestling. And now the whole world is watching AAA and WWE, taking Lucha Libre higher, faster, better, farther. The future flies here.”

On Friday, LuchaBlog wrote of the situation in AAA amid WWE’s pending purchase:
“To the best of my knowledge, AAA has not sat down its office or wrestlers as a group to explain what’s happening, what’s next and where that leaves the people who are currently working for AAA. That should happen here. There’s a lot of luchadors with question marks for futures, and how AAA treats them publicly and privately will start answering those questions.”
WWE’s pending purchase of AAA was a featured story in this week’s edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Meltzer wrote of the situation:
“AAA will have more money for talent and television production, and could get a huge edge in exposure if TKO can upgrade the media deals for the promotion. The biggest key is how many and how often will WWE send top names, or names that can draw with the right promotion like Rey Mysterio, Penta, Fenix and even American stars to AAA shows.”
