The crossover between WWE and Lucha Libre AAA continues to produce unique matchups, with the latest announcement featuring a TNA Wrestling authority figure teaming up with a star from WWE NXT.
It has been announced that former WWE star Santino Marella, the on-screen Director of Authority for TNA, will team with NXT’s Lola Vice at AAA’s Verano de Escandalo event on Friday, July 11.
