WWE shocked fans during WrestleMania 41 weekend by officially announcing its acquisition of Mexican lucha libre promotion AAA. With this move, it appears WWE fans can expect more AAA talent to appear during WrestleMania 41 Sunday.

According to Fightful Select, WWE is expected to feature additional AAA talent during tonight’s events. Some AAA stars were already in town over the weekend, though they didn’t appear on the first night of WrestleMania 41.

On top of that, WWE is reportedly in talks with WWC (World Wrestling Council) in Puerto Rico, according to a Sportskeeda report. Carlito has been loosely scheduled for a match on a potential joint show for several months.

During WrestleMania 41 Saturday, Vikingo made an appearance as he tried to help Rey Fenix after El Grande Americano beat Fenix via unfair means. Vikingo’s appearance was definitely a highlight for many fans.
