WWE: News of Alberto Del Rio release is real, mainstream media coverage
After WWE.com announced that they have released Alberto Del Rio on grounds of unprofessional conduct, Triple H re-tweeted WWE’s message to enrage Del Rio’s fans further which led many people to believe that his incident with the backstage employee was perhaps a part of an on-screen angle.
But according to F4WOnline, sources within the WWE who have information about the incident have stated that Del Rio had really slapped the WWE employee and the company has parted ways with him.
Since his release, there has been no official tweet or message from Del Rio himself. It’s also worth noting that the incident was picked up by The Washington Post, among others.
