WWE and NXT stars to participate in tournament for AAA Cruiserweight title

In a video posted by AAA, current Cruiserweight champion Rey Fenix announced a tournament to determine the number one contender for his championship involving stars from WWE and NXT as well.

Four triple threat matches will determine the four finalists who will battle each other in a four-way match at the Guerre De Titanes in Guadalajara, Mexico on December 19.

Whoever wins the tournament will get the first crack at the AAA Cruiserweight title at the AAA event on January 2 in Acapulco, Mexico.

“It doesn’t matter if they’re from Smackdown, Raw, NXT, AAA or even if they’re from another company,” Fenix said in the video. “The tournament is open to all the cruiserweight luchadors from Mexico and the entire world.”

Fenix won the title from Laredo Kid at the Noche de Los Grandes event in May, holding the title for 164 days and counting so far.
