AAA Star Psycho Clown Expected To Join WWE After August

The WWE Night of Champions event scheduled for this Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, faces uncertainty due to Saudi Arabia closing its airspace amid escalating tensions following Iran's missile attacks on a U.S. base in Qatar. This has disrupted travel logistics for WWE talent and crew, with many WWE Superstars expressing discomfort about traveling to Saudi Arabia at this time. Additionally, WWE wrestlers no longer receive extra pay for Saudi Arabia premium live events, as such bonuses are now incorporated into their contracts. Meanwhile, Psycho Clown, a major star from Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, is reportedly ending independent bookings after August 2025, fueling speculation that he has signed with WWE. WWE, which owns a majority stake in AAA, is believed to intend to feature Psycho Clown on its main roster, bypassing NXT, following his visibility at the WWE x AAA Worlds Collide event. Psycho Clown has been a top AAA star for over a decade, known for significant achievements including a high-profile mask vs. mask match against Dr. Wagner Jr., and his potential WWE signing reflects the company's ongoing strategy to expand its international talent pool.
