People were wondering what happened with former WWE star Alberto Del Rio — real name Jose Rodriguez and now going by Alberto el Patron — after missing a show on Sunday for the Mexico-based AAA promotion.

Some thought maybe he was simply standing up the promotion or had a less than good excuse for missing the date.
