El Hijo del Vikingo to Defend AAA Latin American Championship in NXT

AAA Latin American Champion El Hijo del Vikingo is set to defend his championship in NXT.

During tonight’s episode of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio held his customary media scrum.

Among the many things Rey shared during his interaction with the press, one of them was related to El Hijo del Vikingo.

Mysterio revealed that he recently talked to NXT General Manager Robert Stone, and both parties have agreed that Vikingo would defend the Latin American Title in NXT. However, Rey didn’t reveal exactly when that match would take place.

Notably, Stone stated on this week’s episode of NXT that he recently had a conversation with his AAA counterpart about luchadors being at tomorrow’s Great American Bash Premium Live Event. However, no names were revealed.

Vikingo captured the AAA Latin American Championship from El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. at Noche de Los Grandes Week One last month.
