Niño Hamburguesa’s run with AAA has come to an abrupt end following a physical altercation with a fan at an indie show that drew heavy criticism.
According to BodySlam.net on March 10, 2026, the longtime AAA performer has been released from his contract after a clip circulated showing him physically striking a fan during a match appearance outside the promotion. Sources say the company had already warned its roster about maintaining professionalism while working independent dates.
“Talent had been previously warned that they were allowed to take independent dates but to keep things professional.”
The video in question shows Hamburguesa confronting a fan near ringside before escalating the situation. While some people online claimed the fan had provoked him earlier, the footage shows the wrestler sitting on another person’s lap and repeatedly hitting the fan with elbows to the face.
Internally, the clip did not sit well with AAA officials. BodySlam.net reported that company staff reviewed the footage during a meeting last week and quickly moved forward with disciplinary action. Hamburguesa was reportedly notified that his contract was being terminated during a Zoom call.
“Sources claim that the clip did no favours 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 noticed of his termination via Zoom Call.
Niño Hamburguesa has been released from AAA since Friday after a reunion between AAA employees.”
That policy — which reportedly applies even when talent appear at independent events — appears to have played a key role in the company’s decision. As of now, neither AAA nor WWE has issued an official public statement about the situation.
The release closes the door on Hamburguesa’s run with AAA, where he built a reputation as one of the promotion’s most recognizable and unconventional personalities. Now the big question is whether the wrestler will respond publicly or attempt to continue working elsewhere on the independent scene.
