AEW Stars Praise WWE Luchadores After Mexico City Raw
Last night’s WWE Raw took place in Mexico City, marking the first time the show has been held there in 15 years. The broadcast featured several high‑profile matches involving WWE’s Mexican talent. Dragon Lee challenged Chad Gable for the Intercontinental Title, while Penta El Zero M sought to dethrone Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship. Although both wrestlers were defeated, they delivered strong performances.
After the show ended, AEW wrestlers Andrade and Rush posted congratulatory messages on social media. Andrade wrote, "@PENTAELZEROM 👊🏼" and added, "El Idolo The Real Latino Man!" on September 15, 2026. Rush posted, "Congratulations brother @dragonlee95. Congratulations @PENTAELZEROM 👏🏼👏🏼long live Mexico 🇲🇽 👊🏿" and also added, "Felicidades hermano @dragonlee95 Felicidades @PENTAELZEROM 👏🏼👏🏼viva México 🇲🇽 👊🏿" on the same date.
The future of Penta’s main‑event status on Raw remains uncertain, especially after losing the Intercontinental Title to Gable at SummerSlam. Dragon Lee has been pursuing the Intercontinental Championship and has appeared in AAA, but has yet to win a title. Andrade has periodically returned to Mexico, competing in CMLL and AAA during his stints with AEW. Rush has focused on his AEW and ROH commitments while also wrestling for independent Mexican promotions. The most recent Mexican event involving AEW was the CMLL Semana Internacional CMLL vs. AEW, held in August, which featured a three‑night show with the second and third nights taking place in Mexico.
