Alberto Del Rio may have a legitimate reason for no-showing this past weekend’s AAA event.
Alberto Del Rio made waves for no-showing an AAA event, which the company didn’t take too kindly of. He had been set to team with Psycho Clown to face Dr. Wagner Jr. and Pagano at Heroes Inmortales X.
Well, it seems Del Rio may have a legitimate reason for not being at the show. The former WWE Champion posted on Instagram that he got assaulted by a knife-wielding criminal. It took place outside an airport restaurant, and resulted in him having “multiple lacerations” on his body. Del Rio received medical attention and couldn’t board his flight, causing him to miss the AAA event. The post says that he “will not miss any of his shows for the remainder of the year”.
The statement and Del Rio’s injuries can be seen below. A warning that these images are graphic.
It’s a good sign that Del Rio isn’t hurt enough to miss any upcoming shows. The scars don’t look good, though, especially the one on his head. It’s a scary situation, which could have been worse.
Del Rio had been in the wrestling headlines for the past few months. He got suspended by WWE for a Wellness Policy violation in August and was released before the 30 days were up. His girlfriend Paige had been the subject of release rumors too, but she chose to stay with the company.
We hope that Alberto Del Rio makes a full recovery from his injuries and will be good to go to wrestle soon.
