The other big item of discussion yesterday was Alex Koslov wrestling as Carlos Sanchez on WWE SmackDown! and losing to Alberto Del Rio (ex-Dos Caras Jr.) The show was taped ten days ago, so it’s surprising it was kept quiet all this time. Over on Twitter, Dorian Roldan said this was Alex’s tryout for WWE, he’ll be in AAA for the rest of the year, and then Alex is heading to FCW. This is all a great opportunity for Alex, but if AAA is trying to compete with WWE, I can’t imagine they’d want one of their most visible guys (the guy leading the attack on the Smashing Pumpkins a couple days ago) looking like a jobber on their competition’s show. Maybe AAA’s given up trying to compete with WWE? That’d be a lot less stress for everyone.
