I already mentioned it. Read above. AAA was in financial trouble. They were in the shits. Indie shows were selling out more than they were. AAA let commentators stay home since they could not afford to pay them. WWE did this to counter AEW's partnership with CMLL. CMLL is the biggest promotion in Mexico and Arena Mexico sells out every week for the past few decades. Not a small arena either. 16,500. AEW is doing a show there on June 18th, marking the first time any US promotion has held a show in Arena Mexico. CMLL and AAA hate one another. Konnan booked AAA into financial ruin. WWE is following the old Vince playbook. Buy up all the competition they can to fuck over other promotions. Will it hurt Mexico? Yes. Affect CMLL. Yes. But won't endanger them. CMLL is in good shape.
Bite my shiny metal cockpit!
