In April, WWE announced its acquisition of AAA in partnership with Mexico-based sports and entertainment holding company, Fillip. The companies will continue to work together in the months and years to come, including at the upcoming Triplemanía Regia on June 15, where TNA, WWE and AAA wrestlers will appear in the same show for the first time ever.

WWE's World Collide has often served as a special event to explore the larger world of professional wrestling, but without NXT UK, it has not been utilized in several year.
