In a high-stake face-off at WWE x AAA Worlds Collide, Chad Gable went up against El Hijo del Vikingo, putting the latter’s recently-won AAA Mega Championship at risk.
Gable reflected on the event during a recent episode of the podcast, “RAW Recap”. Although he didn’t clinch the win, he still cherishes the experience, stating,
“It was probably the most special day of my entire career. The AAA thing… was an opportunity and pressure like I’ve never felt because it’s this new relationship that we’ve begun… that falls on my shoulders as being part of the first main event. You better deliver.”
WWE’s inaugural crossover event with AAA was where this match took place, featuring other renowned personalities like Stephanie Vaquer, Mr. Iguana, and Psycho Clown.
During the week of WWE WrestleMania, the impending acquisition of AAA by WWE was announced, with deals expected to be finalized later this year.
Despite his best efforts, Gable fell short at Worlds Collide, just as his good buddy El Grande Americano did at the 2025 Money in the Bank.
