WWE is promoting an AAA Mega Championship match for its Worlds Collide event on June 7, featuring El Hijo del Vikingo slated to compete against Chad Gable. Notably, WWE’s promotional material for some markets lists Vikingo as the champion, creating a potential spoiler situation as Alberto El Patron is the current AAA Mega Champion.
The complexity arises because El Patron is scheduled to defend the AAA Mega Championship against El Hijo del Vikingo on Saturday, May 31. The outcome of this imminent title defense will determine who officially holds the championship leading into the Worlds Collide event the following week.
According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE’s decision to announce match details depicting Vikingo as the champion for the Worlds Collide encounter with Gable was specific to the United States Netflix broadcast. In Mexico, an alternate feed was reportedly used for promotional purposes, which did not include the ‘AAA Mega Championship’ designation on the match graphic for Vikingo versus Gable.

WWE purportedly adopted this dual-feed strategy to respect the typical practice in Mexico, where wrestling promotions generally avoid revealing outcomes of title matches before they air. However, given the pervasive nature of online information in 2025, it is likely that details from the US broadcast still reached audiences in Mexico.
Currently, Alberto El Patron is not advertised for the Worlds Collide event. This promotional situation and its implications have garnered attention, with major Mexican sports news outlets Record, Esto, and MedioTiempo all reporting on the matter.
