Speaking about the recent WWE acquisition of AAA on his
Keepin’ It 100 podcast, Konnan said that now that the
promotion is under WWE, their shows will look a lot better
and they will be able to work with the WWE talent as well,
not just NXT.
The Cuban star noted that AAA’s Dorian Roldan decided to
sell the company not because they were going out of
business, but because they could never grow if they didn’t
have help and capital and it happened because Roldan put his
ego to the side.
Konnan said that the problem in AAA wasn’t talent or
booking, but their budget for a whole year of television
production was less than what WWE spends on one episode of
their own, so it was holding them back.
The former WCW and TNA star also shot back at criticism from
fans over the sale, saying it was inevitable.
“What happened? You can’t stop it. And what’s going to
happen? You can’t stop that either,” Konnan said. “And the
only thing we’re going to give you is a much better finished
product, and that benefits everybody, and more work to a lot
of people, and more work to other Latinos that a lot of
people complain and say why aren’t they being used
correctly? Now they will!”
