Amidst the bewildering main roster booking, WWE's inherited contract decisions in AAA Lucha Libre, and the TNA World Title defense at NXT Battleground, who is WWE strategically trying to get over?
The WWE Universe is witnessing a period of perplexing main event booking on its main roster, exemplified by a recent Raw where World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso, after a charged confrontation with Paul Heyman (now aligned with Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker), impulsively accepted a title defense against Rollins for that same night—a match reportedly ending in a "confusing no contest."
This follows Heyman's elaborate promo detailing his fallout with Roman Reigns and CM Punk, and the formation of a new dominant faction targeting stars like Sami Zayn.
Simultaneously, WWE's strategic decisions are making waves in other promotions. Notably, the WWE tag team Los Garza (Angel and Berto) are scheduled to appear at AAA Lucha Libre's Triplemania Regia event. This utilization of talent, potentially through inherited contracts, is sparking discussion about WWE's influence and plans within the lucha libre landscape.
Adding another layer of cross-promotional intrigue, TNA World Champion Joe Hendry is slated to defend his title against NXT's Trick Williams at the upcoming NXT Battleground event, further blurring the lines between major wrestling organizations.
