Luis Lomeli, Head of Licensing and Consumer Products of Walt Disney Mexico issued the following statement.

The potential of wrestling is unlimited. Its quality, color and talent are increasingly valued in the world. Based on this unique and original creative platform, we will develop different product lines such as clothing, footwear and accessories, toys, household and school items”,
