Dr. Wagner was accused of bullying a fan in Reynosa. Dr. Wagner & Pagano were among those wrestling in the main event of Sunday’s show in Arena Coliseo Reynosa. The fan’s account of the situation (reposted here) starts with her and others were chanting “Vendido” at Wagner; Wagner gets taunted for “selling out” by losing his mask and his hair, though it seems like those chants picked up recently around his last IWRG feud. The fan says Wagner responded by lifting up her skirt and yelling foul taunts at her. Wagner, responding in an Instagram video while on a treadmill, claims he was reaching for the fan’s phone to mess with her and his words were directed at the entire arena, not one person in particular. Wagner also says the woman’s family drunkenly threatened his life after the show. There’s a video of the incident from the arena (about 3 seconds in); it’s a very brief interaction where Wagner does reach towards a person. You shouldn’t lift someone’s skirt, but this seems like an already agitated fan reacting poorly to normal Mexican wrestling stuff.
A long-running storyline in Impact ended with Taya arrested for murder as an apparent write-off. Don’t ask me to explain it. The Taya storyline end matches up with what Fightful has as the end of her contract. AAA sent out a Twitter message shortly after saying Taya was (still) their Reina de Reinas champion. The obvious guess is Taya will join her husband John Morrison in WWE, but it’s only just a guess – no one who has solid info on Taya’s next move is talking about it. Taya going to WWE would end her time in AAA; it’s possible she may continue with AAA if she’s headed to AEW or elsewhere.
