According to BodySlam+, Lucha Libre AAA has released Niño Hamburguesa from his contract following the viral incident where he hit a fan at an independent show in La Arena Aficion.
The report indicated that Hamburguesa was outside the ring during a match when another wrestler kicked him towards the fans. He landed in their laps and, while sitting there, hit one of the fans multiple times with elbows to the face. Some fans claimed that the assaulted individual had provoked Hamburguesa, noting that he intentionally sat on the lap of another person before striking the fan.
AAA talent has been informed that they can accept independent bookings, but they must maintain professionalism. Sources indicated that the video of the incident did not help matters, and Hamburguesa was terminated via a Zoom call.
Neither AAA nor its parent company, WWE, has publicly commented on the situation. Hamburguesa has been affiliated with AAA since 2014 and is a former AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champion, having held the title alongside Big Mami. He also won last year’s Rey de Reyes tournament, defeating El Mesías, Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., and DMT Azul in the finals.
Luchablog has confirmed BodySlam’s report, stating, “I can confirm Bodyslam dot net’s report that AAA fired Nino Hamburguesa.
A video of him elbowing a front row fan at a Tuesday show in Pachuca’s Arena Aficion was all over the place in the days after. Other AAA wrestlers were told he was gone on Friday.”

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
