WWE will continue their collaboration with other promotions as a new report from Wrestlevotes out Saturday has NXT working with Mexico’s AAA for a revival of Worlds Collide.
The show is reportedly set for Saturday, June 7th at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California. As of this writing, the show hasn’t been officially announced by either side. Reports that WWE was looking to partner with a Mexican-based company first emerged in June 2024.
It would be the latest partnership between WWE and another promotion — a trend that has increased in the last few years.
WWE announced a formal partnership with TNA Wrestling this year that has seen talent from both TNA and NXT move back and forth between shows. Additionally, WWE has working arrangements with Japan’s NOAH and Marigold promotions, and indie promotions like GCW and FSW, both of which hosted a WWE ID Championship tournament event this week. WWE also had several main roster and NXT wrestlers appear at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII, put on by GCW.
Of note, AAA’s main competitor in Mexico — CMLL — has a partnership with AEW.
Konnan posted the following on X after the report emerged, a reference to a phrase he said he told AEW’s Tony Khan in July 2022 after Khan pulled Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo from a AAA event. The two sides had worked together previously with some bumps in the road — namely a tag team match where Dragon Lee and Dralistico defeated FTR for the AAA Tag Team titles when Lee announced directly afterward he was leaving for WWE.

The Worlds Collide concept began in January 2019 with a special featuring wrestlers from NXT, NXT UK and 205 Live, followed up later in April 2019 with series of matches taped during WrestleMania weekend that aired for four episodes on WWE Network.
A one-off event was held in January 2020 and again in September 2022 that saw wrestlers from NXT and NXT UK square off.
