‘WWE x AAA Worlds Collide 2025’ Review
Welcome to this review on WWE x AAA Worlds Collide 2025, right here on Nerdly.We’ve gone from a cross-brand show to an ACTUAL cross-promotion show (if you don’t count the fact that WWE own 49% of AAA now, so technically it’s still a cross-brand show!) featuring WWE talent going head-to-head with AAA’s top talent.
Match #1: Mr. Iguana, Aero Star & Octagón Jr. def. Lince Dorado, Cruz del Toro & Dragon Lee
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Dragon Lee and Cruz del Toro of The LWO teamed with Lince Dorado to take on AAA stars Mr. Iguana, Aero Star and Octagón Jr. to get Worlds Collide started off with a bang. Mr. Iguana and his trusty pal, Yesca, wowed the WWE Universe with their unique style as Iguana battled Dorado, using Yesca to get Dorado off his game. Yesca saw more action than perhaps he’d like to as Dorado attacked the stuffed animal, performing a Spanish Fly on Iguana’s pet. The action was fast and off the charts as all six Superstars performed outside dives, hurricanranas, tornado dives and more. With Octagón Jr. and Dorado fighting on the top-rope, Octagón performed a flipping fallaway slam to get the win for his team. After the match, Intercontinental Champion “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio mocked Octagón Jr., prompting Octagón to attack the champion. This led to a challenge from Mysterio to Octagón Jr. for Money in the Bank!
My Score: 4 out of 5

Eventually, Vice and Vaquer got the advantage, performing a double Devil’s Kiss on Tormenta and Dalys. After some back-and-forth with Dalys, Vaquer’s teacher, La Primera hit the SVB to win the match for her team.

Kid wowed once more with a diabolical Mexican Destroyer DDT onto Fenix that almost scored the win. Evans somehow upped the ante, leaping across the ring to nail a Swanton Van Daminator onto Kid before hitting the Springboard Cutter against Fenix, but Page was able to stop Evans from earning the pinfall. Fenix nailed a Spanish Fly on Kid before Page hit the Ego’s Edge on Fenix, but Evans flew out of nowhere to continue the match.

Match #5: AAA Mega Championship – El Hijo del Vikingo def. Chad Gable

Chad Gable looked to win his first singles championship, taking on AAA Mega Champion El Hijo del Vikingo. Vikingo got the WWE Universe on their feet at the Kia Forum, hitting an out-of-this world 630 Splash onto Gable’s back outside of the ring. Gable brought out a table in frustration, looking to hurt Vikingo with splintered wood. Vikingo managed to avoid the weapon, bringing Gable back into the ring, hitting a magnificent twisting 450 Splash that Gable miraculously kicked out of. Gable connected with an inverted avalanche sit-out powerbomb from the top rope as Vikingo performed a miracle of his own by staying in the fight. Vikingo stunned Gable with a jaw-dropping Mexican Destroyer on the ring apron but Gable thwarted Vikingo’s victory. Gable laid Vikingo onto the table outside the ring, soaring through the air to hit a beautiful moonsault straight onto Vikingo through the table. Gable and Vikingo battled until Vikingo nailed the 630 Splash again to win the much-earned victory and retain his title.
