While WWE is not currently pursuing talent from CMLL to be part of its new AAA-affiliated roster, the company is reportedly keeping a close watch on the promotion’s top stars. According to a report from sources close to Cory Hays of BodySlam.net, one name that is being monitored by WWE is Máscara Dorada.
Dorada, who previously competed in WWE as Gran Metalik, is a world-renowned luchador known for his incredible high-flying ability. His time in WWE included a run as a finalist in the Cruiserweight Classic and a stint as part of the Lucha House Party faction.
With WWE’s recent acquisition of AAA, the landscape of lucha libre in North America is rapidly changing. While the current focus is on integrating AAA talent, the fact that WWE is monitoring a star of Dorada’s caliber from CMLL suggests that their interest in the world of lucha libre is far from over.
