AAA Commentator Reveals Major Production Changes After WWE Acquisition

AAA’s production is now tighter than ever—and it’s all thanks to WWE’s involvement. According to longtime AAA commentator Roberto Figueroa, the promotion has undergone a massive overhaul in how it operates behind the scenes.

Speaking to Aldo Farias, Figueroa revealed that during the recent AAA x WWE Worlds Collide event, they were handed a 52-page production document from WWE. The file reportedly mapped out every single moment of the show, down to the second.

“We were given a 52-page document from WWE—it had everything. Every match, every segment, how long each one would last, what had to be said in commentary, production cues, timing, entrances, transitions, everything. It was incredibly detailed.”

Figueroa noted that even though the AAA commentary team was working in Spanish and not involved with WWE’s main English-language team, the expectations were just as high. Unlike the looser style AAA was used to, the new WWE-led structure required strict adherence to a carefully timed plan.

“Even though we were doing commentary in Spanish and not part of the main WWE English team, they still expected us to follow those instructions. It’s not like AAA, where you sometimes figure it out on the fly—this was precise, minute by minute, second by second.”

At one point, Figueroa said the team was explicitly told they were now part of WWE talent—and that came with new standards.

“At one point, they told us, ‘You’re a part of WWE now. You’re talent. You’re just like the wrestlers—how you look, how you speak, your timing—all of it matters.’ It was a lot of pressure, but it also made us realize how serious they were about working with us.”

The WWE acquisition has clearly changed the culture within AAA, bringing new pressure but also raising the bar in professionalism. With events like Worlds Collide showing signs of polish and structure, the partnership could mean a global future for AAA—but it’s clear that nothing in the company runs the same way it used to.

Do you think AAA should keep this WWE structure, or should they return to their more free-flowing style? Drop your thoughts and let us know in the comments.
