El Hijo del Vikingo says the WWE buyout of AAA has helped wrestlers and fans. He also says he hopes to join WWE’s main roster soon.
WWE joins with AAA
Nearly a year after WWE became the majority owner of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, Vinkingo says the change has been good for the company. He noted that arenas in Mexico are full and fans want to see AAA stars live.
The deal has also brought more crossover between WWE and AAA fans. Vikingo said more WWE fans are watching AAA and more AAA fans are checking out WWE shows.
Vikingo speaks about the move
In a recent interview, Vikingo called the partnership a “win-win for everyone in the company.” He added that the new relationship lets him work with stars he admired as a child.
He specifically praised the chance to work with some WWE veterans who now have backstage roles in AAA. He said those opportunities are important for his growth.

Recent result and future goals
Shortly after his interview, Dominik Mysterio defeated Vikingo to keep the AAA Mega Championship. Vikingo said he plans to move beyond AAA and join WWE’s main roster. He pointed out that he is already in the WWE video game and wants to take the next step.

Vikingo has appeared on crossover events with WWE before. He wrestled at both Worlds Collide cards last year, which featured WWE and AAA talent on the same shows. It was also reported earlier this year that Vikingo is signed to a WWE deal, unlike many of his AAA peers.
What this means for fans
Vikingo believes the WWE-AAA partnership will keep growing interest in both brands. For fans, that could mean more big matches, fresh rivalries, and more AAA stars showing up on global WWE platforms.
For Vikingo, the next step is clear: he wants to appear on WWE’s main roster and test himself against a wider set of opponents. If the recent trends continue, fans may see him on WWE TV in the near future.
