AAA stars to shine at Worlds Collide
According to sources within WWE's creative team, multiple AAA wrestlers have been 'penciled in' for the event, marking a continuation of WWE's recent collaborative approach with other wrestling promotions. The line-up is packed with high-flying and dynamic luchadores including Aerostar, Chik Tormenta, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., El Hijo del Vikingo, Laredo Kid, Mr. Iguana, Octagon Jr., Pagano, and Psycho Clown.
Fans familiar with AAA will recognize these names as some of the promotion's biggest draws, known for their thrilling in-ring style and vibrant personas.
Alongside these Mexican stars, WWE will also showcase talent from TNA Wrestling, confirming appearances from Joe Hendry, The Nemeth Brothers (Ryan and Nic Nemeth), and Moose. This diverse blend of wrestling styles is expected to offer a fresh and energetic experience for fans, highlighting the growing trend of cross-promotional partnerships within the wrestling world.
Alberto Del Rio 's absence sparks speculation
One name notably missing from the AAA roster for this event is Alberto Del Rio, a former WWE star and major figure in Mexican wrestling. While Del Rio remains under contract with AAA, he is not slated to appear at Worlds Collide. Recent reports suggest WWE's hesitation to involve him due to past controversies and the sensitive nature of his previous departure from WWE.
Del Rio is still active in AAA and scheduled to compete in a high-profile match against El Hijo del Vikingo shortly before the WWE event.

Rey Mysterio details double injury setback before WrestleMania 41
Image via WWE WWE legend Rey Mysterio has opened up about a pair of injuries that kept him out of action during WrestleMania 41, shedding light on his sudden removal from a planned singles match against El Grande Americano. The high-flying veteran was originally slated to face the masked alter ego of Chad Gable at the marquee event. However, on the final episode of SmackDown before WrestleMania, Mysterio suffered a torn groin and was pulled from the card. Speaking to Jim Varsallone in a recent interview, the WWE Hall of Famer revealed that he was also dealing with a busted eardrum at the time. Rey Mysterio keeps the heat on 'I'm actually still recovering from the injury I suffered just before WrestleMania - a torn groin and a busted eardrum. But I still love what I do,' said Mysterio, who was recently honored with the Legend Impact Award at the National Hispanic Media Coalition's Impact Gala. Rey Mysterio, Brenda Victoria Castillo talk National Hispanic MC Legend Impact Award, WWE, AAA, Dom The 49-year-old was replaced by Rey Fenix in the WrestleMania bout, where the babyface team - also featuring Dragon Lee. emerged victorious over American Made. Despite being sidelined, Mysterio's interview has kept him in the headlines, thanks to a light-hearted jab aimed at his on-screen son, Dominik Mysterio. While the injuries sidelined him physically, Mysterio remained sharp on the mic. During a rapid-fire segment in the same interview, he was asked if Dominik could ever surpass his legacy in AAA Wrestling. Without missing a beat, Rey leaned into their long-running WWE storyline: 'Dirty Dom? Dirty Dom needs a spanking with a chancla and a belt.' The culturally resonant quip, referencing a common Latino disciplinary tool, drew laughter from the hosts but also sent a clear message - the family feud is far from over. WWE x AAA: Could the rivalry spill into 'Worlds Collide'? The timing of Mysterio's comment is interesting, especially in the context of WWE's recent acquisition of AAA Wrestling, a historic move that opens doors for crossover rivalries and fresh storylines. The upcoming WWE x AAA: Worlds Collide event is being promoted as a celebration of global wrestling styles and legacies, with both Rey and Dominik Mysterio prominently featured in the early marketing campaigns. Dom Mysterio talks WWE Tampa Takeover, IC Win, Attitude Era, Judgment Day, Carlito, AAA, Omos, Miami Although Rey has not disclosed whether he'll be wrestling or appearing in a different capacity, fans are already speculating that the father-son feud could take center stage at the international showcase. Rey's deep roots in lucha libre and Dominik's current run as Intercontinental Champion present a compelling contrast, offering creative opportunities for a legacy vs. rebellion narrative to unfold on a bigger stage. Dominik, now firmly entrenched in his heel persona as part of The Judgment Day, has not shied away from provocation. In a separate interview, he boldly claimed to have already eclipsed his father's legacy in WWE and expressed a desire to 'sh** all over Rey Mysterio' in AAA as well. The comment raised eyebrows and further fueled fan interest in a possible in-ring confrontation. For now, both stars remain on separate paths - but in the world of professional wrestling, it often takes just one moment to bring everything crashing back together. Fans will be watching closely to see whether that moment arrives at Worlds Collide.

R-Truth's net worth and contract details: How much did the WWE legend make?
The WWE released veteran wrestler R-Truth, 17 years after he joined the company and went on to establish himself as a fan favourite. R-TRUTH made the announcement through a post on the social media platform X. "I'm sorry to inform you all. I just got released from WWE," he said Sunday. "I want to thank WWE for the ride, but MOSTLY I want to thank each and EVERYONE OF YOU who was along for the ride. Thank you for all the love, support, and appreciation you have given me over the years. Thank you," the post by R-Truth read. R-Truth's release by the WWE happened as his contract with the company was due to expire and would not be renewed beyond that point. But he has nevertheless carved out a decent net worth for himself. Here is a bird's eye view of R-Truth's net worth and contract details: Ronnie Aaron Killings, better known by his ring name R-Truth, has a staggering net worth of around $3 million, according to a report by Sportskeeda. In the business, R-Truth was primarily endorsed by WWE merchandise sales, WWE shops, and 2K Games. He was also endorsed by the clothing brand Cult of Individuality and featured on the front cover of Your Voice Hip Hop magazine. According to reports, R-Truth's annual salary as part of his WWE contract was $550,000. R-Truth's release ends his second stint with the WWE, which began in 2008. He had a two-year stint in WWE from 1999-2001, but became a prominent star during his time with TNA Wrestling from 2002-07. Although he never won the WWE Championship, R-Truth's 17-year run was memorable. While he first connected with fans as he rapped his entrance music with the "what's up?" chant, he was known for being one of the best comedic wrestlers in the business. He constantly brought laughter to segments and made fellow talent break character on-air. The 53-year-old faced John Cena at Saturday Night's Main Event on May 24. Cena defeated R-Truth in what would be his last WWE match as he retired after the clash.
