Triple H's comment on WWE acquiring AAA

Shortly after the Stamford-based promotion announced its purchase of AAA, Triple H shared his thoughts on the deal. Here's what he said during the post-show press conference at WrestleMania 41:

“I’m a big fan of lucha as a style. I think having all styles is incredibly valuable. Obviously, we have a particular one that we like to do with WWE, but that does not mean we’re looking to massively revamp anything. I’m looking to keep traditional Lucha Libre as traditional Lucha Libre within that world and just help it to grow, and help the athletes who grew up fans of it in those markets to realize their dream, just like we’re helping to do in the US."

Many fans on X/Twitter are hoping to see Angel and Berto bring the titles to SmackDown and show them off on TV. The duo is on cloud nine after their massive victory and would love to have a lengthy reign with the AAA World Tag Team Championship.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
