AAA Announcer Roberto Figueroa Reveals Pete Dunne Has Been Working As Producer For AAA, Shares Jeremy Borash’s Official Title

AAA announcer discusses how the acquisition has panned out.

It has been three months since WWE announced its acquisition of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide. The transition was delved into by AAA announcer Roberto Figueroa during his interview with Aldo Farias.

As he was responding to a question about AAA possibly losing its ‘Mexican essence,’ Figueroa revealed that WWE talent Pete Dunne has been at AAA events working as a producer. He added that Jeremy Borash’s official title is Director of WWE in Latin America.

“Rather, I ask everyone when they tell me that: What essence is AAA going to lose? Mexican essence? Well, AAA always had an gringo essence. The Council (CMLL) are the ones that maintain the Mexican essence; AAA was always a product looking for the gringo public. That was the difference, with Mexican wrestling but with their stories, their productions, their rivalries, their management of social networks, their brands, their collaborations, it was always the Mexican WWE. Enconces, what essence are you going to lose? They are going to follow the presentations. Last time I heard a comment of, ‘Can you imagine (if) Disney would have bought Chavo del 8?’ What would Disney have done with the Chavo del 8? What they built with ‘Coco,’ they (Disney) are not the owners of the Day of the Dead and everyone when they talk about the Day of the Dead is looking for ‘Coco,’ if I can explain myself? That’s what WWE is looking to do with AAA. It’s going to take it to another level for everyone to know. Norman Smiley have been in the locker room. Jeremy Borash, whom you and I have met, was in The Crash, was in Monterrey, friend of Konnan, and is Director of WWE in Latin America. Pete Dunne has been in the dressing rooms as a producer. When we are recording this before Juan de la Barrera (the 7/25 AAA tapings), several foreigners arrived, the show is in junction with Supershow of Mexico City, but everyone has kept the essence but has perfected it.”

WWE held a house show in Mexico on July 26th and 27th. The likes of Mr. Iguana, Pagano, and Psycho Clown were on the show.

Coming up on August 16th, AAA is presenting Triplemanía, and the event will be headlined by a four-way match for the Mega Championship. It’ll be El Hijo del Vikingo defending against Dominik Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and El Grande Americano.
