Mr. Iguana breaks silence following WWE debut; drops huge tease
AAA star Mr. Iguana was the breakout star at Worlds Collide in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday. The luchador has broken his silence following his successful in-ring WWE debut and viral appearance at Money in the Bank.
At Worlds Collide, Mr. Iguana teamed up with Aero Star and Octagon Jr. to defeat Lince Dorado and Latino World Order's Dragon Lee and Cruz del Toro. "Cachora" and his "pet" Iguana named La Yesca stole the show, getting cheered inside the Kia Forum and later at the Intuit Dome during MITB.
The 36-year-old star also went viral, which could create a lot of opportunities for him and AAA. He broke his silence on X, formerly known as Twitter, to tease what's next for him and thank the fans for the support and admiration.
"Grateful and happy! Thanks for the love and support! Agradecido y feliz! Gracias por todo el cariño y el apoyo. I’ll see you all soon 🦎 #PóngaseVerde," Iguana tweeted.
According to Fightful Select, Mr. Iguana going viral was one of the reasons why he was introduced at the ringside during Money in the Bank. He was quite popular with fans in attendance, with several people asking for selfies right behind the commentary.
Mr. Iguana is likely to get more appearances on WWE television
The same report by Fightful Select revealed that Mr. Iguana was well-received backstage and WWE is looking to book him for more appearances. He was not just popular among fans, but also among his peers, with several WWE stars taking pictures with the luchador backstage.
Top company officials were also impressed by his willingness to do promotional work. They plan to capitalize on his popularity and explore ways to market him more effectively in the United States. There will be plenty of merchandise opportunities, from masks, shirts, and La Yesca items.
It will be interesting to see if WWE brings him to the main roster or NXT. He's a comic wrestler, but as evidenced by the popularity of R-Truth and Carlito, he has a place in the company and will be put in a position to succeed.
