Alberto Del Rio overshadows Hijo del Vikingo's celebration on WWE’s social media

Triplemanía XXXIII closed with El Hijo del Vikingo retaining the AAA Megachampionship. However, the focus of the controversy was not on his victory, but on the reaction of fans on social media, which was to be expected considering what has happened in the last AAA Wrestling shows.

After the event, Triple H posted a congratulatory message for Hijo del Vikingo on Instagram. What seemed like a simple recognition quickly turned into a flurry of comments demanding the return of Alberto Del Río to WWE and to the big stages. The comments not only demanded his return, but some even claimed that Del Río was the one who gave international visibility to a AAA that was "almost dead."

Rey Mysterio and the promise that reopened the door

The controversy arose just after Rey Mysterio declared at Triplemanía XXXIII that he would bring back Del Río. Or at least that's how many understood it. Mysterio was introducing Konnan before he was inducted into the AAA Hall of Fame, when a large number of spectators called for the return of Alberto Del Río. At that moment, Mysterio responded hesitantly: "I'll bring him now, wait." From Solowrestling, we believe that Mysterio didn't know how to respond and referenced Konnan to try to smooth things over.

With the public outcry and pleas multiplying, WWE may be forced to speak out sooner than expected. Whether to confirm, deny, or clarify the situation, the fact is that the name of Alberto Del Río has returned to the center of the wrestling world debate.

In the eyes of the public, Alberto Del Río (Alberto El Patrón) had to leave the company at the end of July after losing a match against El Mesías, where his career in the company was at stake.
