WWE legend John Bradshaw Layfield has praised Lucha Libre AAA, calling it the ‘hottest program in the world right now’. Layfield, a WWE Hall of Famer, expressed his admiration for the Mexican promotion, which was acquired by WWE before WrestleMania 41 in 2025.

Lucha Libre AAA’s Growth

Lucha Libre AAA has garnered significant attention with its recent events, including the buildup to its Mask vs. Mask match between El Grande Americano and Original El Grande Americano. The match, which saw El Grande Americano emerge victorious, was praised by Layfield for its incredible characters, exciting buildup, and one of the best matches of the year.

Layfield also recalled working in Mexico early in his career and how incredible the energy was in the country when he would perform there. He noted that the passion of the Mexican fans is unmatched, and he believes that Lucha Libre AAA has done an incredible job with the product.

New Challenges for El Grande Americano

El Grande Americano now faces a new challenge with the revitalization of Los Perros del Mal, a group that recently reformed with Daga, Angel, Berto, Bronco Nima, and Karmen Petrovic wreaking havoc on the AAA roster. Layfield expressed his excitement to see where the new story goes, comparing it to episodic television where a new villain emerges after the previous one is defeated.
