As we previously reported here on eWn, Rocky Romero will face Mistico, formerly known as the original Sin Cara in WWE, on the October 20th episode of AEW Rampage.
Mistico currently holds the CMLL World Middleweight Championship, while Rocky is the CMLL World Historic Welterweight Champion.
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that despite Mistico being a CMLL talent, it won’t affect AEW’s relationship with AAA. He wrote,
“Regarding how booking Mistico affects the relationship with AAA, from an AEW side it does not. They are working with the impression they can book talent from both groups as long as the talent isn’t in the ring together. AAA doesn’t care in the sense them using CMLL talent doesn’t affect their relationship with AAA and CMLL’s lone issue would only be not having them in the same matches and through New Japan, any co-promotion with AEW and New Japan has never allowed Mexican wrestlers who last worked with AAA on the shows.”
