Jeff Jarrett Wants To Bring AEW To Mexico
Jeff Jarrett wants AEW's international expansion to reach Mexico
Aug 25, 2024
Jeff Jarrett recently appeared at one of AAA’s TripleMania events as he helped his AEW stablemate Satnam Singh to Tag Team Title glory, interfering on behalf of Singh & Raj Dhesi (FKA Jinder Mahal). Jarrett wants to be in and around Mexico more often, speaking on his My World podcast and explaining why he wants to bring AEW to the country.
“Without question. Here is what I think is lost so much — I guess with the first hand experience I’ve had, because I’ve been going down there for twenty years, me and Karen. In Mexico, wrestling is a part of the culture in so many ways. Mexico City, the greater area is like 20, 21 million people or something along those lines. That’s the size of Mumbai, I mean there is an enormous population. Wrestling is all over the country, it has been for multiple generations. The short answer is, it’s not like you’re bringing professional wrestling to a brand new market. It’s part of the culture in Mexico, and the AEW style of wrestling is very applicable to the market in so many ways because you kind of look at, you could name lots of AEW stars that have bits of Lucha in their repertoire.
“You’ve got stars that are big business and have done big business. Jericho, in his early days, learned a ton down there. I can go on and on, but the shorter answer is absolutely. Yes, I’m looking forward to hopefully being a part of making that all come together. I would say we’re not too far off in heading that direction and seeing AEW in the market.”
AEW has begun an international expansion in the last two years, running AEW All In 2023 and 2024 in the UK, and a planned Australia event too.
