The Who’s Who In AAA: The Luchadores Everyone’s Talking About

Rounding off with one of the only full blooded Americans on the AAA roster, and a man who is actually the brother of someone WWE fans have known for many years. 

Sam Adonis is actually a former member of the WWE roster as he was briefly in their former developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) back in 2011 as Buddy Stretcher, but was released after suffering an injury. However, unlike some people, WWE wasn’t the path that was meant for the man who would go on to have a lot of success in Mexico. In 2016, he would make his debut for CMLL as a pretty boy, pro-Donald Trump supporter, and became, at one point, the most hated man in Mexico. He was routinely booed out of Arena Mexico for his gimmick given the political situation in Mexico and the United States at the time, but by the time he left CMLL in 2018, things would only go up for Adonis.

After the COVID-19 pandemic subsided, Adonis arrived in AAA at the end of 2021, still portraying an all-American Trump supporter, but would transition into a softer, more pro-American character as the years went on. He would win the AAA World Trios Championships in 2022, and has continued to be featured on AAA programming on a regular basis. As for the man who Sam Adonis calls his brother, that would be none other than WWE color commentator Corey Graves, who not only trained his brother, but will now get to call his matches as it’s been confirmed that Graves will be the AAA English language commentator moving forward.
