Lucha Libre AAA wrestler released after fan incident
A Lucha Libre AAA wrestler has reportedly been released after getting into an incident with a fan at an indie show.
Bodyslam.net and Lucha Blog are reporting that Nino Hamburguesa was released from AAA after elbowing a fan during a match last Tuesday. Video of the incident has gone viral on social media, with it showing Hamburguesa delivering three softer elbow strikes to the fan before then hitting him with a more significant blow.
Lo que hizo Niño Hamburguesa debería traer sanción de parte de @WWE @undertaker

Nadie lo agredió físicamente. Le dijeron de cosas (algo que es normal) por resbalarse al intentar subir y éste se desquita golpeando directamente al aficionado. Eso cruza cualquier línea permitida.… pic.twitter.com/cLkjHHe2kN
Lucha Blog’s report notes that other wrestlers were informed of Hamburguesa’s release last Friday.
“Sources claim that the clip did no favors towards the AAA star,” Bodyslam.net wrote. “And despite fans saying that the fan previously provoked Hamburguesa, he intentionally sat on the lap of other person and proceeded to hit him several times with constant elbows straight to the face. He was [notified] of his termination via Zoom Call. WWE and AAA haven’t made a declaration of the incident.”
The heavyweight Hamburguesa had remained with AAA after the promotion was acquired by WWE, including working matches at Guerra de Titanes in December 2025 and AAA’s Fox Latin America premiere this January. He is a former AAA Mixed Tag Team Champion and won the 2025 Rey de Reyes tournament.
Rey de Reyes 2026 is taking place this weekend and will see La Parka, Original El Grande Americano (Chad Gable), El Grande Americano (Ludwig Kaiser), and Santos Escobar face off in the finals.
