IMPACT-LUCHA UNDERGROUND RELATIONSHIP?

By Mike Johnson on 2017-06-29 14:23:00

Since Hijo Del Fantasma (aka King Cuerno) and Drago have been announced as appearing on the Impact Slammiversary XV PPV, there's been a lot of speculation that Impact has come to a working agreement with Lucha Underground.  In checking with Lucha Underground sources, we are told that is not correct.  

Lucha Underground has no involvement in the appearances, which was a deal set up by AAA's Dorian Rodan as AAA has the rights to Fantasma and Drago's characters and has an official working relationship with Impact.  

So, if you were wondering if the appearances meant there could be additional LU personalites popping up on Impact television, that is not the case, unless AAA also owns their rights.   Lucha Underground owns King Cuerno, so Fantasma could not appear under that name.
