Triple H stunned fans with a revelation nobody saw coming. During a backstage sit-down at AAA TripleMania XXXIII in Mexico City on August 16, he showed how The Undertaker has become one of the big driving forces behind AAA in Mexico.

This isn’t a quick cameo or a friendly favor. Triple H indicated that The Undertaker is taking a serious creative role at a time when WWE is venturing more into the lucha libre world.

The New Role of The Undertaker

No, The Undertaker is not strapping his boots to go into one more fight. Instead, his role is going behind the scenes. He is assisting the development of the creative core of a great international collaboration between WWE and AAA.

When WWE is trying to incorporate lucha libre into its global strategy, a superstar like The Undertaker will bring enormous credibility. The years of storytelling and character development experience might be precisely what AAA needs as WWE continues its expansions.

A Commitment to Long-Term

This is not a single project. Ringside News has reported that The Undertaker has been commuting to Mexico, where he has been a constant part of the AAA creative process.

Triple H emphasized that TripleManía was not the end goal but rather the beginning. It’s not about WWE showing up in Mexico, it’s about building its future there

Why Fans Should Care About This

To fans, the development may appear minute. There are no big in-ring announcements or flashy promos; it is simply a legend of wrestling quietly shaping the future of wrestling behind the curtain.

At a time when the creative direction of the WWE has been a subject of criticism so often. A couple of legendary figures, such as The Undertaker, assisting with telling stories, seem optimistic. His star weight might provide AAA and WWE with worldwide efforts to have a new-real flavour.
