Update: It appears this was a situation where the media person wasn’t clued in on there being an angle and tried to get Callis down on the ground and away from Omega.
Original: A scary situation happened following Saturday’s Triplemania XXXI event in Tijuana where Kenny Omega lost to El Hijo del Vikingo in the main event. Don Callis, who has been feuding with Omega for months after turning on him, was ringside for the bout.
Konnan sent Callis to the back. Vikingo won the match after pinning Omega with a 630 splash.
Following the show, Omega was talking with the local media when there was an angle where Omega and Callis exchanged words. Omega was attacked by Konosuke Takeshita to further their feud. This is when things got real as a fan attacked Callis from behind until security broke it up.
The fan must have been upset by something Callis said.
Bryan Alvarez is reporting Callis, who has a bad neck, had a bloody mouth, and other injuries, including his neck and ankle because of the attack. He was going to San Diego for medical attention. Alvarez reiterates that the situation was “absolutely not a work”.
“Everything was an angle up to that point, but then a fan who was apparently upset about what Don had said to Kenny jumped Don from behind, ripped his suit, concussed his eardrum and busted open his mouth while he was trying to choke out Don from behind,” Alvarez said. “ Don was screaming profanities at the fan before he was pulled off, and was said to be livid afterwards.”
