Lucha Libre AAA starts on YouTube!
Rey Mysterio is in charge of opening tonight's show. The AAA General Manager heads towards the ring while greeting the fans in the front rows. "Mysterio! Mysterio!" chants the crowd to welcome the legend. Rey recalls that AAA has been the home of some of the greatest Latin stars in history. Now, with AAA aiming for a more global market, Mysterio personally wishes for it to become the home of the biggest stars in the world. That being said, Rey wants to introduce one of the most recognized Latinos worldwide, and former WWE World Champion. "Join me in welcoming... Damian Priest!", exclaims Mysterio.
The Puerto Rican makes his entrance. Mysterio welcomes him at ringside. Both men greet each other with a hug. Rey hands the microphone to Damian, who continues his way into the ring. "Damian! Damian!" chants the crowd. Priest believes that some present may not know him, which is why he wants to introduce himself to all of them. Damian lists his achievements in WWE: five-time Tag Team Champion, United States Champion, and, of course, Heavyweight Champion. Priest points out that his professional wrestling career began over two decades ago. Throughout that time, he has competed in some of the biggest events in the world and has defeated some of the best talents in this business. However, he has never fought in Lucha Libre AAA. Priest has heard great things about this place, and now he comes willing to experience them firsthand. "I want to be honest. I'm not here to make enemies, but I'm not here to make friends either. I'm here to dominate AAA!", he exclaims. "Whether you're a heel or a face, whether you're from the past or the future, if you face me, you will fall here," he says pointing to the canvas. "Oh, and if you have a championship, you will get to know me very well. For those who don't know me, and for those who do, everyone stand up! Everyone stand up! Everyone stand up! Everyone stand up, because THE CHAMPION has arrived at AAA!", he exclaims before throwing the mic onto the canvas. Damian exits through the entrance ramp to end the first segment of the night.
We see the arrival at the venue of some of tonight's protagonists: Mr. Iguana, La Parka, and Las Tóxicas.

See you soon," he says to end his promo.
