Worlds Collide: Las Vegas, also known as Worlds Collide II, Worlds Collide Dos, or simply Worlds Collide, was a professional wrestling livestreaming event and supercard co-produced by the American promotion WWE and its Mexican sister promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA). It was the fifth Worlds Collide under the WWE banner and the second between both promotions. It took place on Friday, September 12, 2025, at the Cox Pavilion at the Thomas & Mack Center in the Las Vegas suburb of Paradise, Nevada. The event featured wrestlers from WWE's Raw, SmackDown, and NXT brand divisions, and from AAA, which WWE acquired in April 2025.

The event marked the first time WWE has held two Worlds Collide events in the same year, following the June 2025 event in Inglewood, California. It aired for free via WWE's YouTube channel with both English and Spanish language commentary at 10pm EDT immediately after WWE's Friday Night SmackDown .

Six matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Dominik Mysterio defeated El Hijo del Vikingo to win the AAA Mega Championship, becoming the first wrestler to hold championships in WWE and AAA simultaneously. In other prominent matches, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. defeated Dragon Lee, Ethan Page, and JD McDonagh in a fatal four-way match to retain the AAA Latin American Championship, and Pagano and Psycho Clown defeated Grayson Waller and Kofi Kingston to retain the AAA World Tag Team Championship.

Production

Background

The event was held at the Cox Pavilion in Paradise, Nevada.

Worlds Collide is a series of professional wrestling shows that began on January 26, 2019, when the American promotion WWE held an interbrand tournament featuring wrestlers from NXT, and the now-defunct NXT UK and 205 Live brands; ^{[1] [2] [3]} WWE later held Worlds Collide events in 2020 and 2022. ^{[4] [5]} On June 7, 2025, at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, WWE held a fourth Worlds Collide event in collaboration with the Mexican promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA). ^[6] WWE had previously announced its intention to acquire AAA; the deal finalized on August 1, 2025. ^[7] On August 16, 2025, during Triplemanía XXXIII, it was announced that WWE and AAA would hold a second Worlds Collide event on Friday, September 12, 2025, at the Cox Pavilion at the Thomas & Mack Center in the Las Vegas suburb of Paradise, Nevada. ^{[8] [9]}

Worlds Collide: Las Vegas was held as part of Mexican independence day weekend, a major weekend for Mexican combat sports. During the weekend, WWE's parent company TKO Group Holdings is promoting a fight between Mexican boxer Canelo Álvarez and American boxer Terence Crawford on September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas under the Zuffa Boxing banner, ^[10] while sister company UFC will also hold UFC Fight Night: Lopes vs. Silva, the third edition of the annual "Noche UFC" MMA event celebrating Mexican culture, that same day in San Antonio. ^[11]

Storylines

The event included professional wrestling matches that resulted from scripted storylines. Results were predetermined by writers of the participating promotions, while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television programs, Raw , SmackDown , and NXT , as well as at other WWE and AAA events. ^{[12] [13] [14]}

After retaining the AAA Mega Championship at Triplemanía Regia III, El Hijo del Vikingo appeared at the AAA Alianzas event on July 25, addressing the crowd before being interrupted by Dragon Lee and El Grande Americano. Later, a masked figure attacked all three men before revealing himself as Dominik Mysterio, who announced his intentions of challenging for the title. This led to a four-way match at Triplemanía XXXIII on August 16, where Vikingo pinned Mysterio to retain the title after interference from Mysterio's rival AJ Styles. ^[15] A day later, Mysterio stated that he would see Vikingo at Worlds Collide: Las Vegas, ^[16] and a match between both men for the title was subsequently made official. ^[17]
