Wrestling fans can gear up for an exciting summer as WWE prepares for its upcoming Worlds Collide event on June 7, 2025.

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.

With Worlds Collide set to take place in early June, fans can look forward to a unique wrestling event where lucha libre's fast-paced action and TNA's powerhouse style collide under the WWE banner. The event promises thrilling matches and new rivalries, as WWE continues to broaden its global footprint. Stay tuned for official announcements and match cards as the countdown to June 7 begins.
