Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

Rey Mysterio is Lucha Libre AAA’s brand new general manager.

After weeks of teasing on AAA on Fox, the promotion’s brand-new general manager was announced on Saturday, May 23, 2026, during the live episode.

AAA President Marisela Pena kicked off the May 23, 2026 episode with the new general manager announcement. Several AAA legends and current talent were in the ring and ringside for the announcement. Pena’s son, Dorian Roldan, was also inside the ring beside his mother, hoping to get the job.

However, in a shocking turn of events, Pena announced WWE Hall of Famer and legendary luchador Rey Mysterio as the promotion’s new general manager. With Mysterio announced as the new authority figure, fans also connected the dots of his voice missing from the English commentary at the start of the show.

While the wrestlers and legends present inside the ring and ringside celebrated Mysterio’s appointment, Roldan and AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio were visibly upset at the announcement.

Rey Mysterio will be joining The Undertaker, part of AAA on Fox’s creative team, as the new General Manager.
