Lucha Libre AAA’s premiere on FOX Latin America was supposed to be a landmark moment, but a major production error turned it into a huge online embarrassment.
During the broadcast, AAA aired a pre-recorded video package promoting Dominik Mysterio, who did not even appear on the show. But that wasn’t the real problem. What’s the problem? Thanks to flawed AI-generated graphics, Dominik was shown wearing the AEW World Championship belt. Yes, AAA accidentally put a rival company’s top title on a WWE star during its own debut show on a major network. Bryan Alvarez addressed his gaffe on Wrestling Observer Radio.
“So there’s a video about Dom, who wasn’t on the show, and in that video, someone in the video editor used an AI. The AI tried to do that again, right? Artificial intelligence. And the belt — the AI put the AEW title belt around Dom’s waist.”
Dave Meltzer backed it up with simple but brutal confirmation. “Was he wearing the AEW title belt? Yes. It’s the AEW title belt, not the AAA belt.”
This moment caused a lot of confusion and memes online. Not only was Dominik not booked for the show, he is currently under contract with WWE and has never held AEW gold. For a debut on a major platform like FOX, the error couldn’t have come at a worse time.
AAA has not publicly commented on the AI mix-up, but it raises serious questions about quality control, especially as tools like AI become more commonplace in video production. This wasn’t just a graphics issue, it aired on one of AAA’s biggest television milestones, and this mistake brought a competitor’s championship to the forefront.
update: The video has been removed from the AAA account.
Do you think promotions should trust AI for major video packages, or should companies stick to manual management when it comes to major debuts like this? Please turn off the sound in the comments.
