Veteran luchador fired following controversial video incident
Summary
– AAA released Niño Hamburguesa after a physical altercation with a fan
– The incident happened during an independent wrestling show
– Company officials reportedly reviewed footage before terminating his contract
Niño Hamburguesa’s time with AAA has come to an abrupt end following a controversial incident at an independent wrestling event.
A report from BodySlam states that the longtime luchador has been released from his AAA contract after a video surfaced showing him striking a fan near ringside during a match appearance outside the promotion.
According to sources, AAA had previously reminded its roster that independent bookings were allowed, but professionalism was expected at all times. That internal policy reportedly played a key role in the company’s decision.
The footage shows Hamburguesa confronting a fan during the event before the situation escalated. In the clip, the wrestler is seen sitting on another person’s lap and repeatedly delivering elbow strikes toward the fan’s face.
Some people online claimed the fan may have provoked him earlier in the match. However, the video circulating across social media reportedly showed the wrestler initiating the physical response.
AAA officials reportedly reviewed the footage during a meeting with company staff. After discussing the situation internally, the promotion moved forward with disciplinary action.
Sources say Hamburguesa was informed of his release during a Zoom call following the meeting. The decision effectively ended his run with the promotion.
Hamburguesa had been one of AAA’s most recognizable personalities for years. Known for his unique look and comedic in-ring style, he built a strong following among lucha libre fans.
With his release now confirmed, the wrestler’s future remains uncertain. It is unclear whether he plans to address the incident publicly or continue his career on the independent wrestling scene.
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— Ricardo Cariño 🕊️ (@ricardocarino) March 6, 2026
