Niño Hamburguesa Reportedly Released By AAA Following Fan Altercation

Niño Hamburguesa looks to be done with AAA.

Over the weekend a clip of Niño Hamburguesa repeatedly elbowing a fan in the head during an independent show went viral, and it now appears that the moment wasn’t appreciated by his home promotion, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide.

According to BodySlam, AAA informed Niño Hamburguesa of his release over a Zoom call following the viral moment, despite claims of provocation by the fan.

“Niño Hamburguesa has been released from his Lucha Libre AAA contract. Sources claim that the clip did no favors towards the AAA Star and despite fans saying that the fan previously provoked Hamburguesa, he intentionally sat on the lap of other person and proceeded to hit him several times with constant elbows straight to the face. He was notified of his termination via Zoom Call.”

The report additionally notes that AAA talent had previously been permitted to work independent dates on the basis that they kept things professional. Whether this altercation will change the promotion’s outlook remains to be seen.

Hamburguesa’s release has since been corroborated by Luchablog, who adds that AAA talent were informed that he was no longer with the company on Friday.

Whilst Niño Hamburguesa’s time with Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide appears to have come to an end, WWE are reportedly looking to sign several of the lucha libre promotion’s stars to full-time contracts. You can read more about that here.
