Alberto Del Rio shocked fans when he beat up El Hijo del Vikingos father on Venga la Alegra, a popular morning show on TV Azteca. It blurred the lines between kayfabe and reality and now the mastermind behind the altercation has been revealed.
While speaking on the Keepin It 100 podcast, Konnan was asked whose idea it was to have Alberto Del Rio attack El Hijo del Vikingos father and Konnan revealed that it was his idea, as he simply said, Mine.
Konnan noted that people didnt think the segment was real, so when the fight broke out, actual security tried to break it up. One of the guards got pushed and didnt want to get involved.
Konnan explained that two of the security guards were actually working for AAA, and he had specifically asked Alberto Del Rio to rough them up. When he saw Del Rio that Saturday, he reminded him that he didnt follow through the first time. Del Rio told him hed take care of it that night, and he ended up going out and beating up one of the guards.
Alberto Del Rio brutally attacked El Hijo del Vikingos father by kicking him in the stomach, ripping his shirt off, punching him and more. Of course, it was all to build towards Del Rio and Vikingos match on May 31st, where Vikingo beat Alberto Del Rio to become the AAA Mega Champion. Regardless, well have to see whats next for Del Rio as its clear WWE wont be in his future anytime soon.
