Mr. Iguana may be AAA’s talent, but NXT wants a piece of him. Following his viral reaction during WWE’s Worlds Collide and Money in the Bank weekend, WWE officials are reportedly discussing ways to integrate the luchador into future NXT programming.
According to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, Iguana’s performance wasn’t just a fan favorite—it translated extremely well to social media, which caught the attention of NXT decision-makers.
“One NXT source indicated they will be pushing for him to make appearances,” the report stated.
His physical comedy, charisma, and unique look helped him stand out immediately—even to fans unfamiliar with AAA. And after being seated ringside at Money in the Bank for promotional shots, Iguana walked away with massive backstage praise for his attitude and cooperation.
His buzz has sparked new interest behind the scenes about whether NXT could be a fitting home for Mr. Iguana going forward, at least on a guest appearance basis.
