Mysterio Suspended as AAA General Manager
Dorian Roldán announced the indefinite suspension during his mother's AAA Hall of Fame induction, and JBL has since publicly campaigned for the post.
Updated on Nov. 8, 2026 in Wrestling
Rey Mysterio was suspended indefinitely as general manager of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, according to Dorian Roldán, who announced the decision on the November 7 episode of Héroes Inmortales Week 3. Roldán made the announcement while interrupting his mother Marisela Peña's AAA Hall of Fame induction.
Why it matters
The suspension leaves the general manager role at AAA vacant and follows a series of public accusations against Mysterio from within the promotion. JBL's post calling for himself to be named to the position adds a wrinkle to the succession question.
The suspension was announced on the November 7 episode of Héroes Inmortales Week 3, roughly ten weeks after Mysterio allegedly attacked Omos at Ola de Calor on August 30. Neither AAA nor WWE has commented on the matter or on JBL's public bid for the role.
The players
Rey Mysterio
A longtime WWE and AAA luchador who has been one of the most recognized figures in lucha libre for decades.
Dorian Roldán
A AAA performer and son of Marisela Peña who announced the suspension and listed the accusations on air.
JBL
A former WWE commentator and wrestler who joined AAA's English-language commentary team in 2024.
The details
Roldán interrupted his mother's induction and listed several complaints against Mysterio, including allegations that he sent AAA wrestlers to the United States to work in unsafe conditions and was responsible for injuries to El Hijo del Vikingo and Mini Vikingo. The accusations also included claims that Mysterio meddled in Dominik Mysterio's Mega Championship matches against El Grande Americano and attacked Omos while Omos was attending Ola de Calor as a paying spectator.
Timeline
August 30: Mysterio allegedly attacked Omos at Ola de Calor.
November 7: Roldán announced the suspension during the Héroes Inmortales Week 3 broadcast.
November 8: JBL posted on X calling for himself to be named AAA general manager.
Season Trajectory
JBL's presence on AAA's English-language commentary team since 2024, alongside his independent bookings with GCW, MLW and TNA, places him in a position to be considered for a booking role. His public campaign for the general manager post reflects the way former WWE personalities have increasingly moved across independent and Mexican promotions.
The suspension removes Mysterio from AAA's general manager role, and any succession decision will determine who books talent and sets creative direction for the promotion. JBL's public bid, if acted on, would shift the company's commentary and management roles simultaneously.
The takeaway
Readers following AAA should watch for an official statement from the promotion on who will oversee its general manager duties, since neither AAA nor WWE has yet addressed the suspension or JBL's post.
