#4. Former WWE star Alberto Del Rio reportedly suspended

The reigning AAA Mega Champion, Alberto Del Rio, has been suspended from wrestling in the city of Tijuana.

Last Friday, the Mexican wrestler reportedly got into an altercation with a fan at a AAA show. According to reports, Del Rio was infuriated by fans for throwing coins, beer, glasses, lemons, mangoes, and ice creams at him during his match with El Hijo del Dr. Wagner.

After defeating his opponent, the former WWE star hopped on the guardrail and tossed a chair at the spectators, causing the security to interfere. Alberto Del Rio got a taste of his own medicine when someone from the crowd flung a chair at him in return. During this back-and-forth incident, a woman was said to have been hit with a flying chair, which landed her in the hospital.

As a result of the incident, the Tijuana Wrestling Commission suspended Alberto Del Rio from competing in Tijuana for the next six months. The Pride of Mexico has since broken his silence on the matter. He recently took to his Instagram handle to share his side of the story.

#2. Brock Lesnar unlikely to return to WWE

More skeletons continue to tumble out of Vince McMahon's closet as the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against him continues. Brock Lesnar, who previously wasn't outright named, has now been officially identified in the suit.

The latest development appears to have put The Beast's future in serious jeopardy.

Speaking on the latest episode of his Story Time podcast, Dutch Mantell stated that he doesn't think Brock Lesnar wants to be back in the business anytime soon.

"I think they're going to try to ease him in slowly if he comes back, and who knows, he may not even want to come back. He may still be getting paid for all we know. So if he's getting paid, what would be the purpose of him coming back anyway," Mantell said.

Brock Lesnar last wrestled against Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023. Whether that would go down as his last in-ring appearance remains to be seen.


#1. Jade Cargill returns to action this Friday
