WWE and AAA are getting dragged after a bizarre AI-generated screw-up showed Dominik Mysterio wearing an AEW championship belt during a televised promo—sparking major embarrassment across social media.
The segment aired during AAA’s historic debut on FOX Latin America, with the current AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio featured in a stylized, comic book-style vignette meant to showcase his dominance. While the promo included bold trash talk toward Rey Mysterio, Canelo Alvarez, Bad Bunny, and Mr. Iguana, fans were more focused on what Dominik was wearing than what he was saying.
In a massive error, the animated artwork featured Dominik with a championship belt clearly labeled “AEW”—a move that instantly set off alarms across both wrestling fandoms and raised questions about WWE and AAA’s quality control when it comes to AI content.
Fans didn’t hold back. One fan took to Twitter and asked how something so obvious made it on air, essentially calling out the lack of oversight behind the scenes. “Why does the belt say AEW lmfao? Is there no one who is checking this?” Another fan tore into both promotions, directly tagging AAA’s head booker Konnan while blasting the production team and referencing WWE’s ties to the project:
"Hey @Konnan5150, tell your boss Hitler Hearst Helmsley to stop embarrassing your product with this AI s***. That belt Dominik is rocking says AEW on it. We know AEW is the gold standard and all, but damn—have some pride."
Others called it flat-out amateur. One viewer mocked the entire effort, suggesting that a billion-dollar company shouldn’t be relying on sloppy AI tools.
"No need for garbage AI, especially when you’re a multi-million dollar business who can afford real artists."
The mistake also led to speculation among casual fans who were genuinely confused about the crossover implications: “When did Dominik win an AEW championship belt?” Another added: “Lmao using AI and having it change your belt to AEW is funny as hell.”
The clip’s unintended error comes as WWE’s relationship with AAA continues to evolve—with Mysterio serving as the current bridge between the two companies. Dominik is recovering from a minor shoulder injury suffered at Guerra de Titanes last month, but he remains the AAA Mega Champion and is expected to return soon.
Even then, the decision to use AI to illustrate a major promo—and let it air with such an obvious branding mistake—has left fans questioning whether either promotion is truly paying attention. In an era where fans catch everything, this AEW belt mistake has now become a storyline of its own—and not the one WWE or AAA were hoping for.
Do you think WWE and AAA should ditch AI-generated content altogether—or is this just a one-off mistake? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
