AEW will feature a big matchup this week with Mistico vs. Rocky Romero, which is scheduled for Friday, October 20 on Rampage.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio has shared more details on the matchup and AEW’s working relationship with the Mexico-based CMLL promotion. He said,
“This is not just Mistico coming to AEW. This is the beginning of a relationship. … [AAA and CMLL] guys will not be able to work in the same match. That will not happen, but they’re probably going to have guys on the same card, which — CMLL hates that. I think AAA will live with that, and AAA’s not going to do anything to jeopardize their relationship with AEW anyway.”
It’s worth noting that matchups between Mistico against Rey Fenix and Rush would not be possible in AEW.
Mistico vs. Romero will be taped place tomorrow night in Rosenberg, Texas. It will then air on TNT on AEW Rampage this Friday.
