The phrasing of "ensuring AAA remains the premier destination for wrestling in Mexico" is such a blatant strategic move to be able to move into the Mexican market but also to try to ice AEW out of future talent. I'm sure they will be mostly hands off, but boy this is probably going to do a real number on the lucha scene.

El Hijo de Dr Wagner Jr didn’t sign with NXT because they wanted him to lose the mask. Kind of sucks for him if they make him do it now, but I’m not sure how binding those AAA talent contracts are.

On a wrestling Discord I’m a member of, the lucha contingent are having a meltdown over it. And these guys have been shytting all over AAA for years.
Plans can change quickly in this business

Good luck getting the Japanese government to agree to selling one of their biggest sports products (and yes wrestling is treated as a sport in Japan) to an American business.

Not to mention the whole going behind their business partners (AEW, CMLL) back to agree to a deal with their top competitor. A practice that is basically considered a mortal sin in Japan.
Yeah shyt been going left and the yen is looking funny. Words are tight lipped behind closed doors.
At this point, I'm expecting the unexpected, instead of relying on dirt sheets and "obligations".
Hell, I'm still mind blown at the fact that Triplemania will be a TKO/Hunter Hombre joint

Like y’all don’t realize, the Japanese government has to approve foreign investment into Japanese companies. Not just acquisitions, but mere investments. The Japanese government is extremely protectionist of home grown companies.
That’s not to say it’s impossible, but if WWE wanted to establish a presence in Japan, it would be considerably easier to just start their own NXT branch from scratch and outbid Japanese promotions for talent to kill them slowly.
It still wouldn’t be easy, but would be easier than trying to do the near impossible.
