Chavo Guerrero confirmed in a recent interview that he has signed a new WWE deal, bringing him back to the company to help out with the newly acquired AAA Lucha Libre brand.
Guerrero said in a September interview with Bill Apter that he’s currently working a backstage role with the Mexico-based promotion, which was purchased by WWE just earlier this year.
“I just re-signed with WWE,” Guerrero said. “I’m putting together, helping out with their AAA show.”
Guerrero, who has spent recent years helping out with stuntwork on movies, explained why working on the new AAA project excites him:
“AAA is awesome, it was always awesome. Lucha Libre, that’s where my family originated from, so I have a big love of Lucha Libre. Just to see AAA under that WWE umbrella is pretty awesome, pretty cool. I just see such big things coming from this show. We want to keep the tradition of Lucha Libre, and keep what makes Lucha so amazing. And you do that with the WWE marketing and just the WWE style, I think the sky is the limit and I think this show is gonna skyrocket and give the fans even better wrestling.”
When asked who he wants from the main roster to get involved in AAA, Guerrero mentioned Penta and Rey Fenix, two wrestlers he shared the ring with during his Lucha Underground stint in the 2010s: “They were amazing then and even better now.”
Guerrero has made on-and-off appearances in wrestling over the past few years. He notably worked a one-off TV match for TNA back in March, teaming with Laredo Kid and Octagon Jr. in a six-man tag bout.
