Don Callis was assaulted by a fan following Saturday’s Triplemania XXXI event in Tijuana.
Bryan Alvarez is reporting that there was a post-show press conference where Kenny Omega was confronted by Don Callis, leading to an angle where Omega was attacked by Konosuke Takeshita, continuing their AEW feud. As security was breaking up the fight, that was when a fan attacked Callis from behind.
“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.”
Callis’ neck and ankle were both injured in the attack and is heading to San Diego for medical attention. Alvarez reiterates that the situation was “absolutely not a work”.
Callis appeared prior to the main event of Triplemania, where he said he would be in Vikingo’s corner. Before the match started, however, Konnan came out and sent Callis to the back. Vikingo won the match cleanly after pinning Omega with a 630 splash.
