Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano brought back the infamous Los Gringos Locos faction on AAA programming, reviving a name that once defined lucha libre heel heat. But according to Sam Adonis, this modern reboot wasnt the original planand he was supposed to be at the center of it.
A fan on X/Twitter suggested that Los Gringos Locos 2.0 needed Sam Adonis in the mix with Dominik and El Grande Americano. The user declared:
Sam Adonis wasted no time replyingdropping a bit of behind-the-scenes news that most fans never knew. He revealed AAA had entirely different plans for the revival of the group before they were scrapped.
Adonis teased that a partnership with Dominik Mysterio would be moneythough he left fans guessing at what couldve been. Its unclear what those factors were, but the company clearly pivoted fast. AAA was reportedly ready to roll with merchandise and even filmed TV content before dropping the concept.
The original Los Gringos Locos, formed in the 90s by Eddie Guerrero and Art Barr, were notorious for mocking Mexican culture in one of AAAs most controversial angles ever. That legacy lives on in this updated version featuring Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano, who have been getting solid heatand fan supportas the latest incarnation of the faction.
The current Los Gringos Locos 2.0 are already set for a showdown with the Lucha Brothers at AAAs Guerra de Titanes event on December 20. As for Sam Adonis, his version of the group mightve never hit the ringbut now that the idea is public, dont rule out a twist in the story just yet.
Wrestling fans love a faction war, and if AAA is smart, theres still a way to bring Adonis into the fold down the line.
Do you think Sam Adonis should still join Los Gringos Locos 2.0? Would that version work better than what we have now? Sound off in the comments below and let us know what you want to see happen in AAA.
