Lucha Underground is the unofficial United States rival to Mexico's top lucha libre promotion, AAA. Many AAA talents, like Pentagon and Fenix are major players on the El Rey Network show. AAA has allowed them to appear, but is now fighting with some of them in court over the rights to use their ring names outside of Mexico. Now, with the announced partnership between AAA and IMPACT Wre𝔉stling, there are many who are interested about what migh💙t happen to Lucha Underground.
We might have an answer, if n꧑ot about the TV show, then about the wrestlers.
In a new interview with , AAA president Dorian Roldan says that he doesn't think there should be any conflict of interest. Speaking about AAA🅘 and IMPACT, he said.
"We don't view ourselves as competition, we view ourselves as an alliance. What makes Lucha Underground so different than a promotiဣon is that it is a television series. I'm not preventing people who have had a presence on Lucha Underground from appearing on IMPACT."
There's a twist, however.
is ⛦reporting that theꩲir sources have said that if AAA wrestlers do appear on IMPACT television, they won't be appearing as their Lucha Underground characters.
Confused yet?
So is New Japan mainstay Ricochet, who wrestles as Prince Puma on Lucha Underground, but ꩵhas been wanting to appear on 🅘Ring Of Honor shows as Ricochet. That request has been denied by LU. This new development has him non-plussed.
We'll keep you update💟d on thi🔯s story as more develops.
