For all the success WWE’s AAA brand has enjoyed in 2026, its main event scene is looking somewhat thin right now.
El Grande Americano’s primary rival for the AAA Mega Championship since winning the title at TripleMania 34 has been the former champion Dominik Mysterio, however, after defeating Dom in their rematch at Heroes Inmortales, “The Great American” should be faced with some new challenges.
Here are three potential new WWE AAA signings that could potentially make a splash in the Mega Championship picture:
Dralistico
One of the more interesting potential signings we could see happen before the start of 2027 is AEW’s Dralistico heading to WWE.
Dralistico fuelled speculation regarding his future in AEW after sharing a picture of himself behind prison bars on social media, with it later being reported by WrestleVotes on Fightful Select that his deal with AEW is due to come up in December.
In that report it was also stated that WWE are expected to have interest in signing Dralistico should he depart AEW, and it’s not difficult to see why.
Not only would they have the option to pair him with his younger brother Dragon Lee, but they could also feature him in AAA as a singles star. The LFI member has plenty experience playing a heel, so he could step up as a new contender for the Mega Championship if he signs with WWE.
Baron Corbin
It’s not just free agents that could make a splash in AAA, as there are also several names on WWE’s main roster that could benefit from a stint in Mexico.
Baron Corbin is currently off TV after being punt kicked by Cody Rhodes on the October 16 episode of SmackDown, and according to WWE he will be out for the foreseeable future.
It’s hard to predict what Corbin will be doing once he is brought back to TV, as he’s already had his United States Title feud with Trick Williams and he’s also probably unlikely to be elevated to the main event picture.
This leaves him with very few options on SmackDown, so a move to another brand may be the best option. Rather than potentially running into similar creative roadblocks on Raw, Corbin should be moved to AAA; where he could be booked as a monster heel and potential challenger for El Grande Americano’s Mega Championship.
Rusev
Another potential new monster heel that could show up in AAA is Monday Night Raw’s Rusev.
“The Bulgarian Brute” has been off TV since July – initially due to injury, however, he did recently make an in-ring return during WWE’s tour of Hawaii in October, so it seems as if he is back at 100%.
Given that he hasn’t yet made a return to Raw, maybe WWE has other plans for him, away from the Intercontinental Title picture.
Rusev would have a far greater chance of standing out on AAA than on Raw – which is already filled with powerhouses up and down the roster.
