Folks, the pro wrestling free agency market is looking like a game of musical chairs, and El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. just grabbed himself a seat—in AAA!
At a press conference this morning, Wagner officially put pen to paper, signing with Lucha Libre AAA on a one-year deal. And let me tell you, this move shook up the landscape.
- He can still work U.S. indies, as long as they don’t clash with AAA bookings.
- He’s a free agent again in February 2026, meaning this could be just the beginning.
But the real kicker? Wagner confirmed he turned down another offer.
“It may have required me to give up my mask.”
Excuse me? The man’s entire legacy is his mask!
Now, Wagner didn’t say who made the offer, but everyone’s betting on WWE. Because let’s face it—if any company is going to ask a luchador to unmask, it’s them.
And Wagner knew people were watching. He teased a WWE Royal Rumble appearance, only to show up in AAA’s Tijuana event instead. A power move if I’ve ever seen one.
For those keeping score, Wagner is no stranger to AAA. He worked there alongside his legendary father in 2017, 2018, and 2019 before taking his talents to Pro Wrestling NOAH. Now, he’s back, and fans are already dream-booking a mask vs. mask showdown with none other than Psycho Clown.
You remember 2017, right? Psycho unmasked Dr. Wagner Sr. at TripleMania XXV. And in 2023, they took that fight to NOAH. Now? AAA might just be setting up a generational revenge story.
If that happens? Buy your tickets early.
