10 Shocking Controversies In Alberto Del Rio’s WWE Career-1

1. Slapping Incident

Which brings us to Del Rio’s latest incident. He has been fired for what f4wonline is reporting as a slapping incident. The rumour is that a social media manager made a joke about dirty plates. Apparently someone wanted a catering plate cleaning, so the manager said that was Del Rio’s job. The wrestler heard about this and was offended. He went to the manager and asked for an apology. Instead he got a smile and a refusal to apologise. So Del Rio slapped him.
Clearly that was a wrong thing to do. However, you do have to wonder about the connotations around the dirty plates joke. Was this some sort of dig about Mexicans in the United States providing cheap labor? If that was the case, then surely Del Rio might end up having a complaint of his own. There could be legal implications here.
Regardless of right or wrong, Del Rio’s temper snapped. It gave WWE the reason that they were perhaps looking for in offloading the little used and expensive talent. He now seems destined to sign with TNA or AAA, although a 90 day no-compete clause could scupper any immediate plans. It depends on clauses around his severance. We’ll have to wait and see. Another appealing prospect could be retirement. Aged 37 and a multi millionaire, Alberto Del Rio might just be happy to embrace his real life as Alberto Rodriguez.
