Chad Gable vs. El Hijo del Vikingo Set for WWE x AAA Worlds Collide

It’s official—WWE and AAA just locked in the first singles match for Worlds Collide, and it’s already got fans talking.

During the May 24, 2025 edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, WWE announced that Chad Gable will face El Hijo del Vikingo at WWE x AAA Worlds Collide on June 7. Vikingo was in the building for the NBC special, making his presence known as the crossover buildup continues.

This isn’t the first time Vikingo and Gable’s paths have crossed. Vikingo made headlines with a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 41, attacking the masked El Grande Americano—a character many believe to be Chad Gable—during his match with Rey Fenix.

That chaos is now spilling over into Worlds Collide, with two of the best technical wrestlers from WWE and AAA set to face off in a rare inter-promotional showdown. Gable’s blend of Olympic grappling and fast-paced offense is going to meet Vikingo’s fearless aerial assault—and you can bet fans will be keeping a close eye on how this one plays out.

With WWE and AAA sharing the stage for one night only, this match could steal the show.
