It felt like days of fans taking the business seriously enough to take their anger out on the wrestling personalities was a thing well and truly of the past, but following AAA TripleMania last night, a serious incident reportedly occurred.

Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio took to Twitter to reveal that Callis had been legitimately attacked by a fan.

“Don Callis was just legitimately attacked by a fan at a post-show press conference following the Omega vs. Vikingo match.”

At the press conference mentioned, Callis and Kenny Omega were continuing their feud as Callis confronted his rival with a vicious promo, allowing AEW’s Konosuke Takeshita to take advantage with an attack. Within the melee, with security breaking everyone up, a fan emerged from behind and assaulted Callis. Alvarez detailed the incident;

“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. Don was screaming profanities at the fan before he was pulled off, and was said to be livid afterwards.”

Nothing has emerged yet about Callis’ status following the attack, with the only information being that he was on his way to San Diego to get checked.
