Security drags ex WWE star off daytime TV show after physical clash
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Former WWE superstar Albert El Patron was dragged off a TV set by security after appearing to snap during an interview. The 48-year-old wrestler, best known to WWE fans as Albert Del Rio, was on TV Azteca's morning show Venga La Alegria to promote this weekend's TV tapings in Mexico City. He was on the programme when Vikingo, the father of his opponent El Hijo del Vikingo, appeared and confronted him about the bout. Things took a chaotic turn, as El Patron attacked him and shoved him to the ground, with a woman shouting for security as the former world champion put his hands on a member of staff. He was seen pushing a man who appeared to be a presenter, while security dragged the wrestler away amid plenty of shouting. TV Azteca and the presenters have claimed the incident was real, according to local media, although it appears to have been a stunt to promote this weekend's show. El Patron will defend the AAA Mega Championship against El Hijo Del Vikingo this weekend, when he's expected to drop the title. WWE recently announced it had purchased the AAA Lucha Libre promotion, and the controversial star isn't expected to be part of their plans. Vikingo is set to face Raw star Chad Gable at WWE and AAA's Worlds Collide event on June 7, and an advert ran for the match on Raw this week promoting it as a AAA Mega Championship bout with Vikingo defending, seemingly spoiling this weekend's AAA shows. Announcing the AAA acquisition in April over WrestleMania weekend, Paul 'Triple H' Levesque said: 'AAA has a rich cultural heritage with some of the most passionate fans in the world and it's an honor to work with the Peña family to embark on this journey. 'By bringing together WWE's global capabilities and AAA's amazing tradition, we look forward to an exciting future filled with new opportunities.' And AAA General Manager Dorian Roldán Peña added: 'AAA has been a family-operated promotion for over three decades and our trust could not be better placed than with one of the biggest sports entertainment businesses in the world.' The company, which was founded in 1992 by Antonio Peña, has seen the likes of WWE Hall of Famers Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio, and current Raw star Penta, pass through their doors. More Trending As Alberto Del Rio, El Patron spent four years on the main roster between 2010 and 2014, before being let go 'due to unprofessional conduct and an altercation with an employee'. In 2020, El Patron was arrested and later faced charges of aggravated kidnapping and sexual assault towards his then-girlfriend.

Alberto Del Rio sparks chaos on talk show amid WWE return rumors
Image via WWE Former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio has once again found himself at the center of controversy after a shocking altercation on a live Mexican talk show. Known for his fiery temper and past disciplinary issues, Del Rio - now wrestling under the name Alberto El Patron - was involved in a physical confrontation that has sparked widespread debate online and may jeopardize his rumored return to WWE. Heated segment turns violent on Mexican TV The incident occurred during an appearance on the TV Azteca morning show Venga La Alegría, where Del Rio was promoting his upcoming AAA Mega Championship defense against El Hijo del Vikingo. Tensions flared when a video message introduced Vikingo's father, who unexpectedly walked onto the set. The situation quickly spiraled out of control as Del Rio ripped off his own shirt and began assaulting Vikingo's father, punching him repeatedly while production staff and security attempted to intervene. Footage of the moment shows Del Rio throwing a chair and getting physical with a show crew member, prompting a woman to scream for him to leave the set. He eventually stormed off, leaving chaos in his wake. This isn't the first time Del Rio has crossed the line. He was previously released by WWE in 2014 for what the company described as "unprofessional conduct" after slapping a staff member over an alleged racist remark. Despite multiple controversies over the years, recent reports suggest that WWE has been in talks to re-sign him as part of a broader deal with AAA talent. WWE comeback in doubt? Super Luchas' Editor-in-Chief Ernesto Ocamo recently claimed that WWE has signed several AAA stars - including Del Rio, El Hijo del Vikingo, and others - with speculation that they may appear at the upcoming WWE Worlds Collide event in June. Del Rio is currently AAA's reigning Mega Champion, but many fans now believe the title may be transferred to Vikingo soon, potentially clearing the way for Del Rio's return to WWE programming. Reactions to the incident have been mixed. While some fans speculated the fight may have been a kayfabe (scripted) moment to promote the upcoming match, others criticized Del Rio for his erratic behavior. 'Triple H won't want loose cannons like him back,' one fan wrote on social media. With WWE looking to clean up its image and focus on global expansion, Del Rio's latest outburst raises serious questions about whether he truly fits into the company's long-term plans. For now, fans will have to wait and watch if this shocking act was part of a storyline - or the latest in a series of real-life missteps.

Fuelling fans' passion for sport worldwide
LiveScore Group is a Business Reporter client LiveScore Group's vision to fuel fans' passion for sport has driven its growth for over 25 years, evolving from one of the world's first real-time sports update providers in 1998 to a pioneering leader in sports media and betting. While its UK audience has been and remains a primary market, LiveScore Group, consisting of market-leading brands LiveScore, LiveScore Bet and Virgin Bet, has global ambition. In 2025, LiveScore Group is committed to growing its global media presence, localising its services and engaging with football fans across Europe, Latin America and Africa. This strategic move paves the way for new collaborations with regional brands, further deepening its presence in the market and beyond. Less than six months into the year, LiveScore Group has already shared two significant market expansion moves to reflect such ambition, encompassing Europe and Latin America. Kicking off in January was LiveScore Bet's launch in Bulgaria, a key market for the business's growth. This coincided with the announcement that Bulgarian and Premier League football icon Dimitar Berbatov has joined as the official European Ambassador for LiveScore Media and LiveScore Bet, demonstrating the group's commitment to bringing fans closer to the sport they love. This was followed by news in April that an expansion in Mexico had been achieved via a strategic partnership with TV Azteca, Mexico's second-largest mass media company, aligning with LiveScore's broader strategy of collaborating with prominent regional broadcasters to deliver world-class sports experiences to new audience. Livescore Group adapts its offering to cater to regional audiences. LiveScore marked the Mexico launch by implementing key product enhancements, such as American Football content and a localised For You section. In South Africa, meanwhile, the Western Cape Board recently granted LiveScore Group licence to operate, triggering plans to launch Virgin Bet in the country in Q4, joining LiveScore Bet's presence in Nigeria to expand the Group's African market operations. A global footprint provides LiveScore Group with an opportunity to address the existential challenges facing the sports media and betting industries – two £100 billion industries that LiveScore Group operates at the intersection of. These challenges are consistent worldwide. The sports media landscape is fractured, with sports fans often needing subscriptions to multiple platforms, while sports broadcasts delivered by tech monoliths leverage fans to sell products and memberships. The sports betting industry, meanwhile, continues to grapple with diminishing returns, tighter regulations, intense competition and higher taxation. Betting operators are all vying for the same pool of consumers, with few offering anything different. These challenges ultimately result in a saturated, inconvenient and expensive experience for sports fans. LiveScore Group addresses these challenges by providing a seamless platform that streamlines the fan experience, eliminating the need for multiple subscriptions or hopping between apps, platforms and devices, enriching sports experiences with best-in-class products. With its global expansion and localised services, LiveScore is building a true one-stop shop for fans globally, offering real-time updates, stats, free highlights, aggregated news and engaging content through its app and social platform. For fans who wish to include betting, a best-in-class sportsbook is integrated into the same ecosystem across several countries, ensuring a seamless experience for the previously app-hopping fan. This convergence is what attracts and retains loyal users worldwide, with the LiveScore app servicing 100 million global consumers during any given football season, as well as one million sports bettors across four territories. This multi-brand strategy has delivered proven results, driving revenue from £5 million in 2019 to over £200 million in 2024. By expanding its presence globally, enriching its content, enhancing user experience, forming strategic partnerships around the work and streamlining every aspect of the sports fan's journey, the organisation is poised to further boost annual revenues to £1 billion within the next five years.

Daniel Bisogno, longtime host of Mexico's ‘Ventaneando,' dies at 51
Daniel Bisogno, a TV presenter who long co-hosted Mexico's TV Azteca talk show 'Ventaneando,' has died. He was 51. Bisogno died Thursday because of complications he suffered after a September liver transplant, the TV program said Thursday on Instagram. ' 'Ventaneando' is mourning. Gone is one of our most outstanding members. Rest in peace. We will honor his memory always,' the statement said in Spanish. 'Daniel Bisogno (1973-2025) taught us that, even in the most difficult moments, there was always room for laughter,' the program said. 'During 29 years in Ventaneando, his irony and charisma left their mark, but off-camera he was a generous and dedicated friend. Today we are left with his memory, his humor and gratitude for every laugh shared. 'Dear doll, rest in peace,' ' the program said. In one of several tributes to the TV star, 'Ventaneando' added, 'Since 1982, Daniel Bisogno left his mark on cinema, theater and television. His charisma led him to @ventaneandouno, where he became one of its most iconic figures. Despite his success, in recent years he faced health problems that gradually deteriorated his condition. Today, the entertainment industry is in mourning 🕊️' His cohost, Pati Chapoy, also confirmed Bisogno's death on X, tweeting in Spanish, 'It is with immense sadness that I inform you that #Daniel Bisogno passed away.' Several of his colleagues also attended a Friday memorial during which they shared memories of the TV presenter. Bisogno joined the entertainment program 'Ventaneando' — which translates to 'Window Shopping' — in 1997, a year after the gossip program premiered with Chapoy at the helm. The journalist made a name for himself with his sense of humor, sarcasm and outspoken personality. He also starred on stage in the musical 'Lagunilla, Mi Barrio' and in the 1980s films 'Fieras Contra Fieras,' 'Y Nunca Más' and 'El Mas Valiente del Mundo.' The Mexico City-born TV personality spent the last few years in and out of the hospital with various medical issues, according to Deadline. Bisogno called in to the show in January while he was still unwell to celebrate 'Ventaneando's' 29th anniversary, saying that his years on the program had been the most wonderful years of his life. 'The best thing is a life that has given me everything, both good and bad, and everything has been a great experience for the most part. Absolute happiness. I love you with all my heart,' he said at the time. His brother Alejandro provided a health update when he visited the show Feb. 12, telling Bisogno's co-hosts and viewers that he was 'very delicate.' 'He has been in critical condition since the transplant was performed and has not been able to recover from that risk,' his brother said, according to El Sol de Mexico. 'While recovering from the transplant, he contracted a bile duct infection, which led to hemodialysis to filter out the toxins in his body.' In addition to his brother, Bisogno is survived by his 8-year-old daughter, Michaela, whom he had with his ex-wife Cristina Riva Palacio.
