NEWS: Alberto Del Rio Stabbed

NEWS: Alberto Del Rio's 2016 continues its downward spiral. Although to be fair to Del Rio, he had a great reason for missing AAA's recent Heroes Immortales X event in Monterrey, Mexico. According to Del Rio, he was stabbed shortly before the show and unable to make his flight. The following is an official statement from Del Rio's camp:

Mr. Rodriguez (“Alberto El Patron”) f.k.a. Alberto Del Rio shortly after eating a meal before his flight was assaulted by a criminal with a knife outside the restaurant. Mr. Rodriguez suffered multiple lacerations on his arm and other parts of his body defending against the criminal as Police were called by witnesses. Mr. Rodriguez received medical attention and went back to the Police Department and was unable to make his flight. Mr. Rodriguez has spoken with the ownership of Lucha Libre AAA World Wide and given them documentation of the incident. Mr. Rodriguez greatly regrets not being there yesterday for his fans in Mexico and promises to everyone he will make this up as soon as possible. Despite the graphic lacerations Mr. Rodriguez will not miss any of his shows for the remainder of the year and is ready to compete this weekend in the UK.

AAA previously released a statement accusing Del Rio of failing the Mexican public and chastised him for his lack of commitment. As of press time, there has been no retraction by AAA.
