AAA News: Juventud Guerrera Leads MAD Invasion, Konnan Is Returning

Juventud Guerrera, along with MAD stablemates Kevin Cross and Teddy Hart, invaded AAA in Mexico City on Friday night. They attacked AAA Mega Champion Dr. Wagner Jr and Hernandez (who had battled for the championship), El Hijo de Dr Wagner Jr, and Vampiro ( a mix of rudos and technicos) during a post-match ceremony after the championship match (where Wagner retained).

The three showed up as masked men, and unmasked after the attack to reveal their identities.

Juventud Guerrera cut a promo after the attack, holding Wagner’s Mega Championship, proclaiming that he was coming for the title.

Earlier this year, the MAD faction attacked Alberto Del Rio, Ultimo Dragon and others in Promociones MDA (a Mexican independent promotion based on Monterey). That incarnation of MAD included Juventud, Cross, Sexy Dulce (also known as Sexy Star), El Zorro, and Konnan.

AAA has also teased a return for Konnan on social media:

Konnan was not mentioned during the segment, but his teased return and prior association with MAD has many speculating about Vampiro’s status with AAA, given their history. Konnan, of course, is closely tied to The Crash Lucha Libre, which runs out of Tijuana. Reports are that many within The Crash were fully aware of Konnan’s likely return to AAA.

Best known to American fans for his run in the NWO, and his role on Lucha Underground, Konnan is a legend in Mexico. He’s held numerous championships, along with office positions in multiple promotions. He has never held the AAA Mega Championship, which was established in 2007.

Thoughts:

This is a big move for AAA, if Konnan is indeed coming back (and it’s safe to assume he is). Kevin “Killer” Cross is a name many readers might not be familiar with. He has received WWE tryouts in the past, and has worked with AAA in the past. He trained out of FSW in Las Vegas, and despite only being a professional for three years, is viewed as a star to watch for.
