WWE Spoils Upcoming Title Match Involving Alberto Del Rio
Spoiler alert — Alberto Del Rio might not be the AAA Mega Champion much longer.
On June 7, WWE will host Worlds Collide, with talents from Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and AAA competing. One of the cross-promotional matches will pit WWE Raw star Chad Gable against AAA's El Hijo Del Vikingo.

Per an advertisement on this week's episode of Raw, this match will be for the AAA Mega Championship. The problem? Neither Vikingo nor Gable currently holds the AAA Mega Championship.
That distinction currently belongs to Alberto El Patron, who WWE fans formerly know as Alberto Del Rio. Last August, Alberto defeated Nic Nemeth to claim the title. Looking ahead, he is slated to defend it against Vikingo at AAA's May 31 show in Mexico.
Given the fact that WWE is now promoting Vikingo vs. Gable for the Mega Championship, it seems that they also spoiled the finish to Vikingo vs. Alberto, with the challenger soon becoming the new champion. Vikingo and Gable crossed paths on Raw this week, beginning with the latter landing a cheap shot on the former, who was sitting at ringside. Vikingo later turned the tables during Gable's Money in the Bank qualifier by nailing him with a kick as Gable stood atop the turnbuckle.

This move allowed Dragon Lee to connect a stomp to Gable. Penta then capitalized with a Mexican Destroyer to Lee and a Penta Driver on Gable for the win.
Last month, WWE announced that it had acquired AAA. Vikingo was one of the many talents present at the time of the groundbreaking announcement.

John Cena Reacts To R-Truth's WWE Departure
John Cena pays tribute to R-Truth. On Sunday, R-Truth made the unfortunate announcement that he was being released by WWE. The move came as a shock to everyone, as Truth had been considered a 'lifer' by many. He had been with WWE for the past 17 years, and also had another run in the company from 1999 to 2001, with a successful run in TNA in-between then. Advertisement Many of R-Truth's peers, including Rhea Ripley and Kevin Owens, shared their support for Truth after they heard the news about his WWE departure. Another very important figure in Truth's career, John Cena, also acknowledged Truth's status by posting a message on his Instagram account. Normally, Cena shares 'cryptic' images without captions, which he says is a chance for the fans to interpret themselves. However, it doesn't seem like anything is up for debate here: John Cena and R-Truth recently worked together John Cena was R-Truth's final feud in WWE. The pair wrestled each other at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event on May 24. Truth had a long-running bit where he referred to Cena as his 'childhood hero.' This was despite being five years older than the current WWE Champion. (An in-character) John Cena acknowledged that this didn't make any sense, either. Advertisement Truth was disappointed in his hero's recent heel turn, and said he might not be successful, but wanted to try and bring back the Cena everyone knew and loved. For the match, R-Truth adopted a 'babyface' Cena look, changing his name to 'Ron Cena' for the night.

CM Punk Reacts To R-Truth Chants After WWE RAW
CM Punk hilariously responds to the R-Truth chants following WWE RAW. WWE RAW took place at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the fans made their voices heard from start to finish. Throughout the show, they chanted 'We Want Truth' to show support for R-Truth after his recent release over the weekend. Advertisement The chants even broke out during the main event, where CM Punk faced AJ Styles and El Grande Americano in a Money in the Bank qualifying match. El Grande Americano scored a shocking victory over both Punk and Styles after Seth Rollins and his new faction interfered. Jey Uso and Sami Zayn ran down to help Punk, but Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed laid all of them out, leaving them down in the ring as WWE RAW went off the air. After WWE RAW went off the air, CM Punk took a microphone and responded to the chants. Punk, in a lighthearted manner, told the fans, 'How dare you sing someone's name when they're not here?' which also drew laughter from the fans. Punk's reaction was interesting, especially given his own history with WWE after he controversially departed in 2014, which also sparked massive fan support. This time, however, he found himself on the receiving end of chants for one of the most beloved WWE Superstars in R-Truth. R-Truth spent 17 years with WWE, joining the company in 2008. Before his release, he took part in a program with his childhood hero, John Cena. They faced off at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, where Cena picked up the win. Just days later, R-Truth appeared on WWE SmackDown and competed in his last match against JC Mateo.
