WWE is bringing another veteran into the mix at AAA, and this time it’s someone who already knows the company pretty well. Ricky Marvin has signed a new deal to return to AAA as a trainer and occasional producer, putting his decades of wrestling experience to work behind the scenes.
According to False Finish, Marvin has agreed to return to the WWE-owned promotion, where he’ll help train talent and occasionally produce matches. The move brings him back to a company where he previously held championship gold, although his responsibilities will be much different this time around. False Finish shared the following update on his signing:
“Sources tell False Finish that Ricky Marvin has signed with Lucha Libre AAA as a trainer and occasional producer.”
Marvin has plenty of history with AAA. He previously competed under the Bengala character before returning to his Ricky Marvin name. He later became part of Los OGTs alongside Averno and Chessman, with the group winning the AAA World Trios Championship.
The Mexican wrestling veteran has been around since 1995, making his professional debut when he was just 15 years old. He went on to build a career that took him across Mexico, Japan, and the United States, earning a reputation for his fast-paced wrestling style.
Some of Marvin’s biggest accomplishments came during his lengthy run with Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan. He captured the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship and won the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship three times, working alongside names such as Kotaro Suzuki, Taiji Ishimori, and Super Crazy.
He also spent time in CMLL, where he held the Mexican National Lightweight Championship and CMLL Japan Super Lightweight Championship. His career included appearances in Lucha Underground, giving him experience working in several different wrestling environments.
Now Marvin is returning to AAA at a time when the promotion is operating under WWE’s ownership. WWE announced its acquisition of AAA alongside Fillip in April 2025, bringing the Mexican promotion into its growing wrestling operation.
For Marvin, the new position means he’ll be helping the next generation rather than focusing entirely on his own matches. There’s no word yet on whether he’ll also wrestle for AAA, but his new responsibilities will put him in a position to work directly with the company’s talent.
WWE continues making changes behind the scenes at AAA, and bringing back someone with Marvin’s experience gives the promotion another veteran who knows the Mexican wrestling business inside and out. Now the question is how much influence he’ll have on the talent and matches fans see going forward.
