[
This morning on the popular TV Azteca show *Joy Comes*, former WWE superstar Alberto Del Rio lost his temper during a live segment, resulting in a dramatic confrontation.
During the interview, Del Rio was discussing his feud with Hijo Del Vikingo when tensions escalated after he joined the show’s team. What started as a normal exchange quickly turned chaotic when Del Rio, apparently in a fit of rage, threw one of his staff members to the ground. Viewers were shocked when he ripped a man’s shirt while throwing punches, and the situation escalated further as Del Rio charged at his adversary until security intervened to separate them.
But the drama didn’t end there. Del Rio also targeted Hijo Del Vikingo in an earlier interview, mocking the younger wrestler’s appearance and aspirations.
“I didn’t recognize any kids. I’m back in Mexico, Arena Ciudad de Mexico. I’m going to reclaim the AAA Mega Championship. And then this clown shows up. He looks like a backup dancer for King Cumbia. I told him, ‘Boys, the subway closes at 11. I’ll hit it.’
Del Rio dismissed King Vikingo, Hijo Del Vikingo’s father, saying, “What is that guy even doing there? He retired ages ago. Is he trying to push his son like a ceiling fan? Come on.” He further criticized King Vikingo’s performance in the ring, comparing him to a construction worker and calling him out for his age.
“That old man just got off a construction site and suddenly he’s in the ring? It’s like a streaker running onto a football field. You wouldn’t paint a canvas with Alberto del Rio or Messi or Alexis Vega—it’s just not his place.”
The entire incident, highlighted by the physical altercation, has captured the attention of Mexican media, prompting fans and journalists to speculate about whether Del Rio’s outburst was scripted or a genuine loss of control. The aggressive remarks towards Hijo Del Vikingo and his father sparked significant discussions about the lines between staged drama and real emotions in wrestling.
According to Ringside News, this may be part of a storyline aimed at building excitement for Del Rio’s upcoming matches against Hijo Del Vikingo on May 31, 2025.
As Del Rio gears up for these matches, the fallout from this controversy doesn’t seem to be settling down any time soon.
