As previously reported, it was announced on Saturday that WWE will hold a tour in Mexico this September, marking the first time in 15 years that episodes of RAW and SmackDown will take place in the country. The tour is scheduled from September 9th to 14th and coincides with AAA's TripleMania 34, which will occur over two nights: Friday, September 11th, in Las Vegas and Sunday, September 13th, in Mexico City.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, the timing of WWE's tour is intended to compete with CMLL, which will host its 93rd Anniversary show on September 18th. Meltzer also noted that the CMLL event is expected to sell out, and he believes that both nights of TripleMania and the episode of WWE RAW will likely sell out as well.
CMLL has experienced a successful streak in recent months with sold-out shows, and Meltzer suggested that WWE is "trying to screw with the Anniversary Show in a big way."
