WWE plans Mexico tour ahead of CMLL's Aniversario event
Summary

WWE is set to tour Mexico City later this year, hosting episodes of 'Raw' and 'SmackDown'. This scheduled visit coincides with AAA's upcoming TripleMania and precedes CMLL's 94th Aniversario by one week. Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer suggested WWE's tour is a strategic move to counter CMLL and capitalize on their popularity, particularly after notable sellouts in Arena Mexico. He predicts that both WWE and AAA events will likely sell out, though he is less certain about the sellout potential of 'SmackDown'. CMLL is expected to enhance their card with talent from AEW for their marquee anniversary show.
