AAA Star Nino Hamburguesa Released After Fan Incident At Independent Show

Fans were claiming that the assaulted fan has previously provoked Hamburguesa, and the site notes that he intentionally sat on the lap of another person and hit him several times with the elbows. You can see the video below.

Talent in AAA have been told that they can take indie dates but have to keep things professional. Sources told the site that the video did not help matters and that he was terminated via a Zoom call.

“I can confirm Bodyslam dot net’s report that AAA fired Nino Hamburguesa.

A video of him elbowing a front row fan at a Tuesday show in Pachuca’s Arena Aficion was all over the place in the days after. Other AAA wrestlers were told he was gone on Friday.”

Neither AAA nor its parent company WWE have publicly commented on the matter. Nino Hamburguesa has been with AAA since 2014 and is a former AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champion alongside Big Mami.

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
