WWE/AAA Worlds Collide: Las Vegas 9/12/2025

WWE/AAA Worlds Collide: Las Vegas 9/12/2025

Pre-show thoughts: This show isn't as well put together as the last one. It's on at 10PM on a Friday night. The card isn't that well built up and we didn't get a lot of video packages either.

We are in Las Vegas, NV.

They show us clips of wrestlers arriving earlier in the day.

We have Rey Mysterio, Shawn Michaels, Dorian Roldan and Marisela Pena in the ring. They sing the Mexican and US national anthems. 

Penta comes out in the ring and pretty much only talks in Spanish. 

We then go to Konnan, Corey Graves and JBL who are our announcers.

MS dropkicks Negro then satellite roll-ups Negro to win.

Thoughts: It was a nice showcase for Sagrada here who got over big. That's not surprising since WWE did a similar thing with Max Mini (who was also a Mascarita Sagrada) in the late 90's. It went long though and it was a random match.

Rey Mysterio is interviewed. He says tonight is a historical night for WWE and AAA. Dominik Mysterio walks in. He says he will be the first Mysterio to be Mega Campeon and double champ. He says Rey should raise the hand of the winner and put the belt around the winner. Rey agrees.

Thoughts: I don't know if the finish fit what they were doing but it was a little better than I expected. It wasn't much of a lucha style match and was closer to an American style and Bloodsport style hybrid bout. It wasn't bad.

Thoughts:
It was different than the usual Vikingo match. It was slowed down and they didn't do anything too wild. There was a lot of shenanigans here. Vikingo got booed as the people liked Dom more. I thought the match was acceptable but not great.

Rey comes down and Dom demands he put the belt on him. Rey does and Dom tells him to get out. The Judgment Day and El Grande Americano then come down to celebrate with Dom.

Overall thoughts:
The opener was long and hurt the show some for me as we pretty much saw everything in that one. The women's match wasn't bad. The tag title match wasn't good. The mixed tag was okay enough. I liked the four-way more than I had expected and thought they did a good job without doing too much. The main was acceptable but not much else. Vikingo worked a completely different and slowed down match than usual. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10 total but I wouldn't really recommend it.
