Former WWE Alberto Del Rio Banned from Pro Wrestling in Tijuana

Alberto El Patron received a six-month wrestling ban in Tijuana after throwing a chair that struck a female fan during a AAA show on March 14.

The incident occurred after his match against El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.

TV Azteca reports El Patron confronted fans who were throwing coins and beer at him. After attempting to jump the guardrail, El Patron moved to the left side of the venue and entered the crowd. The female fan required medical attention at the venue before being taken to the hospital.

Fan footage captured El Patron throwing the chair before fans retaliated with projectiles, including another chair. El Patron then returned to the ringside area.

The ban prevents El Patron, the current AAA Mega Champion, from performing in Tijuana until September. According to Rob Viper, the restriction only applies to the city of Tijuana, allowing upcoming AAA tapings in Ensenada and Rosarito, Baja California to proceed as scheduled.
