The AAA Mega Champion reportedly won’t be able to defend his title in Tijuana for six months.

Alberto El Patron has been suspended from wrestling in the city following an incident at a March 14 event. After his match against El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. at the Auditorio de Tijuana, he left the ring to confront a fan in the stands. Video footage shows him arguing with several people and throwing a chair before someone throws one in his direction.

Heroes de la Lucha Libre later stated that a woman was taken to the hospital as a result of the confrontation.

Multiple live reports indicate that fans were throwing coins at El Patron before the incident escalated.

According to lucha libre expert Rob Viper, the Tijuana Wrestling Commission has suspended El Patron for six months.

“The Tijuana commission (including Damian 666) suspended Alberto Del Rio for 180 days (~6 months) for his role in an incident on Friday at the Auditorio. AAA has 2 TV tapings coming up in Baja California but those are in Ensenada & Rosarito so I don’t think (?) it effects those.”

Viper initially stated that Damian 666 is the head of the commission, but he is actually a member of the committee.

“I haven’t seen the full match but in the clip going around Alberto appears heated at someone in the crowd post-match. He tries to hop the guardrail but isn’t able so he circles to a place he can get over. He then throws a chair at someone off camera as securitry intervenes.”

“Another fan seeing this then throws a chair hitting Alberto in the head which starts a slight melee with people throwing things. One story going around is an old lady got hit by a flying chair at some point & ended up in hospital.”

El Patron is scheduled to defend his title against El Hijo del Vikingo this weekend in Mexico City.
