The presence of a WWE legend and strong backstage buzz made the WWE x AAA: Worlds Collide event one to remember.
According to a report from PWInsider.com, The Undertaker was backstage at the crossover special, which took place at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles in front of a live crowd of just over 10,000 fans.

Corey Graves was commended for his performance as lead commentator, helping bridge the WWE and AAA audiences with authenticity and energy. One standout performer, Mr. Iguana, was said to have impressed WWE officials to the point that merchandise discussions are already underway.
Ahead of the event, many of the featured talents reportedly spent time at the WWE Performance Center, rehearsing their matches to ensure a smooth, high-impact presentation for the live broadcast.
