Rey Mysterio named General Manager of Lucha Libre AAA
On May 23, 2026, Lucha Libre AAA staged a live broadcast from the Gimnasio Olímpico Juan de la Barrera in Mexico City. The show featured a World Cruiserweight Championship match between Laredo Kid and Rey Fénix.
During the event, Marisela Peña announced that longtime wrestling star Rey Mysterio has been appointed the new General Manager of AAA. The announcement surprised company co‑owner Dorian Roldán and was met with a standing ovation from the crowd. Mysterio expressed gratitude, stating that AAA gave him his start over three decades ago and that he now returns to lead the promotion into a new era.
The ceremony also highlighted candidates for the role—including Chessman, Texano Jr., and Cibernético—before confirming Mysterio’s appointment. Fans responded with chants of “Mysterio, Mysterio!” as the former WWE Hall‑of‑Famer took the microphone.
