Alberto El Patron, formerly known as WWE Superstar Alberto Del Rio no showed AAA’s Heroes Immortales X event at Arena Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico. He was set to team up with Psycho Clown to face the team of Pagano and Dr. Wagner Jr. in the main event, and Alberto was still hyping up the match on Twitter as of Thursday.
AAA has issued a statement about Del Rio no showing the event, saying that on the morning of the show he confirmed he would be there. You can read the statement below, but note that it has been translated from Spanish to English.
“Lucha Libre AAA WorldWide announced that for reasons outside the company, Alberto “El Patron” was not submitted to the function of Heroes Immortals X, which took just this afternoon. This despite having confirmed their attendance to the event in advance and even this morning.
We regret the lack of commitment of Alberto, as he fails the Mexican public that has supported him throughout his career, to turn it into one of the leading figures of wrestling in Mexico and internationally.
For Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, it is important to offer the best shows of international quality, in addition to strengthening the Mexican wrestling is the best in the world and is a fundamental part of the culture of our country.”
You can also read the statement in Spanish below:
“Lucha Libre AAA WorldWide comunica que por causas ajenas a la empresa, Alberto “El Patrón”, no se presentó a la función de Héroes Inmortales X, la cual se llevó acabo esta tarde. Lo anterior a pesar de haber confirmado su presencia al evento con anticipación e incluso esta misma mañana.
Lamentamos la falta compromiso de Alberto, ya que le falla al público mexicano que lo ha apoyado durante su carrera, hasta convertirlo en una de las máximas figuras de la lucha libre en México y a nivel internacional.
Para Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, es de suma importancia ofrecer los mejores espectáculos de calidad internacional, además de reforzar que la lucha libre mexicana es la mejor del mundo y es una parte fundamental de la cultura de nuestro país.”
