Mr. Iguana Says WWE Wants Him On The Main Roster Because He’s A Top Merchandise Seller

AAA star Mr. Iguana has revealed that WWE plans to bring him directly to the main roster, bypassing the usual developmental path through NXT. In a recent interview with Línea Directa TV, the charismatic luchador shared details of a conversation with WWE officials, citing his impressive merchandise sales as a key reason for the decision.

According to Mr. Iguana, WWE officials informed him of their unique plans for his career. “They told me, you’re not going through NXT — you’re heading straight to the main roster,” he stated. “We need you here because your shirt is the top seller in WWE, and you’re also the fastest-rising star when it comes to action figures and trading cards.”

This news follows Mr. Iguana’s recent appearances on WWE programming. A promotional video hyping his character aired on Monday Night Raw this week. This came just days after he competed at the WWE x AAA Worlds Collide premium live event last Saturday, where he teamed with fellow AAA stars Psycho Clown and Pagano in a losing effort against WWE’s Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Angel & Berto).

Despite the high-profile nature of a main roster role, Mr. Iguana stated his primary goal in WWE is not to chase championships. He explained his focus is on entertaining the younger audience members, a key part of his popular character.

“Entering the ring, being up there doing what I have done for 16 years since I started in Culiacán, I felt good, I got up there to have fun and represent my city,” he said of his recent WWE experiences. “The United States received me like a ring on a finger, I have nothing to change in my character, I will never change.”

Mr. Iguana is known for his unique lizard-themed mask and ring gear, his energetic style, and for being accompanied by his small reptile hand puppet, Yezka. His character is designed to appeal to families and children, which aligns with his stated goal to “entertain the kids.”
