The Undertaker may be retired from in-ring competition, but he’s far from done shaping the wrestling world—and his latest creative move was felt in Mexico in a major way.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Undertaker worked directly with Jeremy Borash to book AAA’s Guerra de Titanes event on December 20 in Guadalajara.
“The booking of the show was handled by Jeremy Borash and Undertaker. They worked with Konnan and Dorian Roldan and went through them to make sure the ideas worked based on AAA history and Mexican pro wrestling culture,” wrote Dave Meltzer.
The result? A sellout show, with over 13,000 tickets distributed a full day in advance—a major feat for a promotion that often relies heavily on same-day walk-ups. Meltzer didn’t hold back on praise either, comparing Guerra de Titanes favorably to CMLL’s top-tier Friday shows at Arena Mexico.
“To me, it was better than most Friday nights at Arena Mexico because while Arena Mexico has had a few main events better, this was hot from the opener to the main event and had great wrestling up and down the show.”
Even some within WWE took notice.
“I had multiple people from WWE note to me they thought as a pure show, just crowd and matches and forgetting about special effects, that this was one of the best or even the best WWE show this year.”
Back in September, Konnan confirmed on his podcast that The Undertaker had joined the AAA creative team—alongside Borash, Dorian Roldan, and himself—under the overall guidance of Paul “Triple H” Levesque. He made it clear why Taker deserved a seat at the table.
“Undertaker’s brilliant. I don’t think they would have put him in that position (otherwise). When you sit down and talk to him, he knows his stuff. I’ve been around enough bookers to know who knows their s–t and who doesn’t.”
“What Undertaker brings to the game is he knows what gets heat, what works, what can get somebody over, and what are good finishes. That’s his genius.”
With a sold-out arena and rave reviews from both fans and insiders, Guerra de Titanes may mark a turning point not only for AAA’s presentation—but also for The Undertaker’s ongoing legacy as a creative force in the industry.
