Official Statement From AAA Regarding Alberto El Patron No-Showing Their Event Tonight

As noted, Alberto El Patron – f.k.a. Alberto Del Rio in WWE – no-showed tonight's AAA Heroes Inmortales X event at the Arena Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico. El Patron was scheduled to team with Psycho Clown to face Dr. Wagner Jr. & Pagano in the main event. He had been plugging the match on his Twitter up until this past Thursday.

AAA issued a statement regarding El Patron not appearing, noting that he had confirmed that he would be appearing at the show as recently as this morning. They also wrote that they regret El Patron's decision, stating that he failed the Mexican public who has supported him throughout this career.

Below is the original statement in Spanish:

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.
