Aro Lucha, the new promotion from former Impact Wrestling minority owner and
production company Aroluxe, announced their first event would be 12/10 in
Nashville, TN at the Nashville Fairground (aka the former TNA Asylum) with
former WWE World champion Rey Mysterio headlining an event featuring a mix of
former WWE and lucha libre talents.
As previously reported, Aroluxe had been funding Impact tapings in exchange for a percentage of ownership in the company and as PWInsider.com reported in 2016, the company was in a position to claim ownership over Impact had Dixie Carter not maintained regular payments reimbursing Aroluxe. As it turned out, Anthem Media would come in as an investor and eventually purchase Impact from Carter's company Impact Ventures LLC. That left Aroluxe out in the cold as they were not retained as Impact's production company.
The Twitter account for Aro Lucha promises, "High-energy Lucha Libre for the entire Authentic family. Authentic stars, characters & stories. Live events & digital content. Lucha for the fans by the fans."
The official press release reads:
Arolucha, Inc. is proud to announce that Rey Mysterio will headline the main event for the Aro Lucha show in Nashville on December 10th, 201
Arolucha, Inc. is proud to announce that Rey Mysterio will headline the main event for the Aro Lucha lucha libre show in Nashville on December 10th, 2017. Alongside other luchadores, stars, and characters, Rey will anchor a talented roster of athletes that will perform at Aro Lucha’s inaugural event.

With a career that spans over 25 years, Rey has appeared in virtually every major wrestling promotion in existence including WWE, WCW, ECW, and Lucha Underground.

“I knew the first time I watched Rey wrestle that he was going to be a star,” said Carlos “Konnan” Ashenoff, Head Writer for AroLucha, Inc. Konnan is credited with finding and developing Rey as a young talent. Rey has also appeared in Konnan’s Mexico based promotion, The Crash, multiple times over the past year.
The entire roster and remaining matches have been released below:
*Rey Mysterio & Pentagon vs Rush & John Morrison
*Jack Evans & Hurricane Helms & Maximo vs Garza Jr & La Mascara & Daga
*MVP vs Sammy Guevara
*Keyra & Lacey Lane vs Vanilla Vargas & Taya
*Demus vs Mascarita Dorada
*Willie Mack vs Mr. 450
Don Harris, co-founder and head of production for Arolucha, Inc stated, “We’ve tried to bring our years of experience in the wrestling industry and tv production to the table, while also marrying that with some of the top talent in the lucha libre world. We’re excited to bring this roster to the fans and families that would not otherwise get a chance to see these stars outside of Mexico.”
AroLucha’s December 10th, 2017 event will be held at the Nashville Fairgrounds Sports Arena.
