Alberto Del Río Involved in Altercation During Wild Venga la Alegría Interview

Alberto Del Río’s appearance on Venga la Alegría, a popular morning show on TV Azteca, took a shocking turn this morning as the former WWE Superstar lost control during a live segment.

The interview, which began with Del Río discussing his ongoing rivalry with Hijo del Vikingo, quickly escalated when he got into an altercation member of the Venga la Alegría team.

Things began to heat up when Del Río was invited to join a segment with the show’s team. What started as a simple exchange of words turned into chaos as Del Río threw one of the staff members to the ground in a fit of rage. Viewers watched in disbelief as the wrestler, between punches, ripped the man’s shirt before lashing out further. The situation only intensified as Del Río lunged at the individual, continuing the attack until security and staff members were forced to step in and separate him.

The tension didn’t stop there. Del Río also directed his fury at Hijo del Vikingo during the interview, prior to the heated incident.. He began by mocking the young wrestler’s appearance and ambition.

“I didn’t know the kid. I came back to Mexico, Arena Ciudad de México. I win the AAA Mega Championship again. And suddenly this clown shows up — looking like a backup dancer from the Cumbia Kings, about 4’3″, with some haircut I couldn’t even describe. And he goes, ‘I want to be next in line, maybe the greatest champion.’ I told him, ‘Bro, the subway closes at 11. Beat it.’”

Del Río went on to disrespect Hijo del Vikingo’s father, King Vikingo, who had been involved in the feud.

“What’s that man doing out there? He’s been retired forever. Is he out there trying to fan his son like a ceiling fan? Come on.” He further criticized King Vikingo’s place in the ring, saying, “That old man looked like he just got off a construction job, shoes covered in cement. And suddenly he’s getting in the ring? What’s that about? He’s like a streaker running onto a football field. Doesn’t belong. Doesn’t matter if you want a picture with Alberto Del Río or Messi or Alexis Vega — that’s not your place. Stick to what you know. And for that guy? Shoemaking. Construction. Whatever. Just stay in your lane.”

The entire episode, including the physical altercation, quickly went viral across Mexican media, with fans and journalists alike questioning Del Río’s behavior and whether the incident was part of a staged wrestling act or a real loss of control. Del Río’s aggressive outburst and personal attacks on both Hijo del Vikingo and his father have made waves beyond the wrestling world, sparking significant debate about the line between kayfabe and real-life anger.

Ringside News believes this is part of a storyline designed to build hype for Del Río and Hijo del Vikingo’s upcoming match on May 31, 2025.

As Del Río prepares for his next match with Hijo del Vikingo, one thing is certain: the controversy surrounding this incident is far from over.
