The attack has set the stage for a high-stakes cross-promotional rivalry between WWE and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, igniting intense buzz among fans and insiders alike.
Wyatt Sicks Ambush AAA Champions Immediately After Title Defense
The shocking incident unfolded at the Worlds Collide event held on September 12, 2025, in Las Vegas—a unique show showcasing top talent from WWE, AAA, and partner promotions. After capturing yet another victory to retain their AAA World Tag Team titles, Mexican luchadores Psycho Clown and Pagano were celebrating when the WWE’s reigning Raw Tag Team Champions, the dark and relentless Wyatt Sicks, invaded the ring and viciously attacked them.
This unsanctioned assault was a clear message from the WWE faction, signaling their intent to extend dominance beyond their own promotion and take aim at AAA’s best teams. With their trademark combination of brute force and brutal psychology, the Wyatt Sicks left Psycho Clown and Pagano battered, sending shockwaves through the crowd and commentators alike.
Worlds Collide 2025: A Historic WWE-AAA Showcase
Worlds Collide 2025 marked the fourth edition of this cross-promotional wrestling extravaganza and the first since WWE moved to acquire AAA in April 2025, with the deal expected to finalize shortly after this event. Showcasing top stars from WWE’s Raw, SmackDown, NXT brands alongside AAA legends, this event represents WWE’s ongoing efforts to blend the Mexican lucha libre style with its own sports-entertainment product[2].
The AAA World Tag Team Titles were defended with great fanfare, with Psycho Clown and Pagano successfully holding off challengers before becoming targets. Meanwhile, the Wyatt Sicks—known for their eerie presence and destruction in WWE—used the platform to make a statement about their dominance extending internationally[3][4].
Backstage Insight: WWE Insiders Speak on Wyatt Sicks’ Aggression
According to a WWE insider with close knowledge of the storyline plans, “The Wyatt Sicks attacking the AAA champs right after their defense was no accident; WWE wants to build a long-term storyline that puts this faction front and center as the invaders challenging the luchadores. The goal is to create a bridge storyline that uses the acquisition of AAA to fuel a rivalry that can expand into multiple shows.”
Sources add that the WWE creative team is aiming to capitalize on the rich contrast between the psychological, sinister style of the Wyatt Sicks and the high-flying, passionate lucha libre stars like Psycho Clown and Pagano. “Expect this to escalate. The Wyatt Sicks might soon be targeting the AAA tag division hard, leading to some brutal, high-profile matches,” the insider noted.
Implications for WWE-AAA Cross-Promotional Storytelling
The Wyatt Sicks’ attack is a strategic move that helps WWE build tension for future inter-promotional matches and story arcs. By introducing their champions as aggressors targeting AAA’s best, WWE crafts a narrative of invasion and dominance, a classic wrestling trope that fans have gravitated towards historically.
It also serves to elevate the visibility of the AAA World Tag Team titles on a global stage. As WWE continues to fold AAA into its ecosystem, moments like this attack underline the importance of storytelling through surprise attacks and championship stakes—tools that have helped brands grow excitement and viewership in the past.
Fan and Analyst Reactions
The wrestling community quickly reacted to the Wyatt Sicks assault online. Analysts praised the move as a compelling way to fuse WWE’s storytelling with lucha libre’s vibrant style while fans were left buzzing about the future clashes between the two teams.
One noted commentator remarked, “The Wyatt Sicks bringing chaos to AAA’s champs creates fresh, unpredictable rivalries that the WWE Universe desperately needs. This crossover angle could do wonders for both promotions if booked well.”
What’s Next? Potential Encounters on the Horizon
With the AAA acquisition expected to be finalized soon, fans can anticipate more inter-brand matches featuring WWE’s rising factions and AAA’s established stars. The hostile introduction of the Wyatt Sicks into the AAA tag scene indicates that upcoming WWE shows may prominently feature these rivalries, potentially culminating in high-profile pay-per-view bouts.
The dynamic between the psychological, eerie Wyatt Sicks and the colorful luchadores like Psycho Clown and Pagano sets the stage for an exciting clash of styles and cultures.
The Worlds Collide event served as a preview of the ambitious WWE plans post-AAA acquisition. As the wrestling world watches this developing saga, the Wyatt Sicks’ ruthless attack remains one of the night’s most talked-about moments, a bold step into a new era of WWE storytelling.
