WWE has officially announced that Chad Gable will compete at the upcoming NXT x AAA Worlds Collide crossover presentation, scheduled for June 7, facing El Hijo Del Vikingo in a singles match. This announcement comes after WWE’s earlier declaration of its acquisition of AAA, setting the stage for talent from both promotions to appear on the special show.

The Worlds Collide event will feature a blend of WWE and AAA performers, and there had been considerable discussion regarding which stars might participate, particularly concerning the future operational status of AAA under WWE’s ownership. For Chad Gable, this match continues his on-screen history of confrontations with luchadors.

His opponent, El Hijo Del Vikingo, was introduced to WWE audiences during WrestleMania 41. At that event, El Hijo Del Vikingo was seen assisting Rey Fenix backstage following Fenix’s match against El Grande Americano. While this interaction suggested a potential future encounter between El Hijo Del Vikingo and El Grande Americano, the latter has not yet been announced for the Worlds Collide card.
