Don Callis was assaulted by a fan following yesterday’s Triplemania XXXI event in Tijuana.
During the post show press conference, Kenny Omega was confronted by Callis, which led to Omega being attacked by Konosuke Takeshita. As security was breaking up the scripted confrontation, a fan legitimately attacked Callis from behind.
Bryan Alvarez reported on the incident by stating:
“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.”
Callis’ neck and ankle were injured during the incident, and Callis was reportedly sent to San Diego for medical attention.
It’s unclear what on earth the fan was thinking, but it’s extremely likely that Callis will press charges against the individual.
