Rodriguez confirmed that he had slapped  WWE’s manager of Social Media Live Events, Cody Barbierri after he made a racist joke:

“This person made some comments, I slapped him, I feel embarrassed of my actions,” he said the week after his release on the Mexican morning news show Primero Noticias of Televisa. “After his comment I stood up and I demanded an apology for what he said, but he smiled and said nothing and I slapped him.”
