Konnan on AAA’s Future After Sale to WWE Being “AAA Business Was Not Bad. Now, With Money, You’ll See What We Can Do”

As noted before, WWE announced earlier this month that they have officially acquired Lucha Libre AAA.

A recent episode of the Keepin’ It 100 podcast featured AAA lead booker and co-host Konnan giving his thoughts about WWE official Jeremy Borash joining AAA’s creative team as part of WWE’s acquisition deal.

“He’s a creative genius, no doubt about it. And there’s nothing more fun, as you know, wrestling against your friends or working with your friends, right? He’s a good friend, so it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Konnan also gave his thoughts about his claims that AAA issues prior to the deal was not due to anything related to talent or booking but instead was production quality for shows due to costs-related issues. Konnan also gave his thoughts about how AAA’s production for shows will now improve due to WWE’s money coming into the company.

“Our problem in AAA isn’t our talent, isn’t our booking, it’s that we didn’t have any money. So for example, they said in WWE that if you put all our TVs together for one year, it’s not as much as they spend on one TV in the United States.

Our show will look a lot better and we’re going to be able to work with their talent, not just NXT talent. And now with money, you’ll see what we can do.”

Konnan also revealed that there have already been talks for a potential match involving El Grande Americano and Dominik Mysterio for a future AAA main event match.

“We’ve already kind of talked about that. They will both be involved, but I don’t think that will be the match.”

Konnan also gave his thoughts about the reason why AAA Director Dorian Roldan sold the company to WWE was not due to any issues over AAA going out of business but instead him wanting to grow the company and needed outside help to do it.

“Bro, the reason they sold the company is not because we were going out of business. The reason they sold the company is because Dorian Rodan put his ego to the side and he understood we could never grow if we didn’t have help and capital, and now we have it. But business is not bad.

The last two years, all of our TVs have been from 85% to full, right? Our business is not bad.”

Konnan also gave his thoughts about all of the online criticisms he and AAA has received over the company being sold to WWE.

“Let me tell you, for all the haters that were out there and throwing shade at me this weekend, bro. What happened? You can’t stop it. And what’s going to happen? You can’t stop that either. And the only thing we’re going to give you is a much better finished product, and that benefits everybody, and more work to a lot of people, and more work to other Latinos that a lot of people complain and say why aren’t they being used correctly? Now they will.”
