Last yr, WWE became the bulk owner of Lucha Libre AAA. The corporate has since taken over production of AAA’s television, launching a brand new show on Fox and starting to integrate elements of each rosters. One former AAA star who’s on the WWE roster is Penta, and the wrestler shared his hope on “Battleground Podcast” that the promotion might bring back one element from AAA’s past.
Penta was asked if he prefers wrestling in a square ring or the six-sided ring, which was previously utilized in AAA and a number of other other promotions. He confirmed that he prefers the six-sided ring, which led to the interviewer asking Penta if he’d be concerned about its return.
“Why not?” Penta said. “Now, in these times, WWE can do all the things. [We] just need [to] imagine [it]. … Why not, bro? Could be very special, right?”
AAA used to alternate between four-sided and six-sided rings depending on the show and what was required. Moreover, TNA used a hexagonal ring at different points in its past, though no mainstream promotion seems to usually utilize one today.
Prior to joining WWE, Penta usually worked with AAA, including on the very starting of his profession. Even when he signed with AEW in 2019, Penta and his brother Rey Fenix continued working with the Mexican promotion, because it had a partnership with AEW. Fast forward to today and Penta has returned to AAA, together with Fenix. Earlier this yr, Penta defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship against El Hijo del Vikingo on AAA TV.
