Rey Mysterio has been named the new General Manager of Lucha Libre AAA. The announcement was made during the live episode of AAA on Fox on Saturday, May 23, 2026.
AAA President Marisela Peña kicked off the broadcast with the reveal. Several AAA legends and current roster members were present in and around the ring for the announcement, including Peña’s son Dorian Roldán, who had hoped to secure the position himself.
In a surprising turn, Peña announced the WWE Hall of Famer and legendary luchador as the promotion’s new authority figure. Fans in attendance noted Mysterio’s voice was absent from English commentary at the start of the show, connecting the dots before the official reveal.

Reaction to the Announcement
While the wrestlers and legends present celebrated Mysterio’s appointment, Roldán and AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio were visibly upset at the news. The younger Mysterio’s reaction adds an intriguing family dynamic to the storyline.
Rey Mysterio will work alongside The Undertaker, who is part of AAA on Fox’s creative team. The Hall of Famer brings decades of experience and global star power to his new role with the promotion.
