🔥 The Deadman Was Calling the Shots? Inside The Undertaker’s HUGE Backstage Role at WWE–AAA Mega Event
The Undertaker may be retired from in-ring competition, but behind the scenes, The Deadman is more powerful than ever—and his fingerprints were all over AAA’s biggest show of the year.
Last week’s AAA Guerra de Titanes event on December 20 in Guadalajara, Mexico, turned heads across the wrestling world, and now we know why. According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Undertaker played a major creative role in booking the show—working side-by-side with WWE executive Jeremy Borash, AAA legend Konnan, and company president Dorian Roldan.
This wasn’t a symbolic role or a casual consultation. Undertaker was deeply involved in shaping the event, ensuring that every major idea respected AAA’s rich history and Mexican lucha libre culture—a move that paid off in a big way.
The Undertaker’s Influence Keeps Growing
Meltzer previously reported back in September that AAA’s creative structure includes Borash, Undertaker, Roldan, and Konnan, with WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H overseeing the larger creative partnership between WWE and AAA. This latest update confirms that Undertaker isn’t just advising—he’s actively helping build AAA’s biggest shows from the ground up.
“The booking of the show was handled by Jeremy Borash and Undertaker,” Meltzer noted. “They worked with Konnan and Dorian Roldan to make sure the ideas worked based on AAA history and Mexican pro wrestling culture.”
A Home Run From Start to Finish
The results speak for themselves. Meltzer praised Guerra de Titanes as one of AAA’s strongest shows in recent memory, even comparing it favorably to CMLL’s traditional Friday night events at Arena Mexico.
“It was hot from the opener to the main event and had great wrestling up and down the show.”
And fans clearly agreed.
The event sold out an entire day early, moving over 13,000 tickets—a massive accomplishment in a market that typically relies heavily on walk-up sales.
The Deadman’s Legacy Evolves
A red-hot crowd. A sold-out arena. Rave reviews from critics. And The Undertaker quietly pulling the strings backstage.
The Deadman may no longer walk to the ring, but his influence on professional wrestling—especially on the global stage—has never been stronger.
