Notes on Alberto Del Rio's WWE Departure, His Last TV Match and Contract
By Marc Middleton
Aug 7, 2014 - 6:43:15 PM
- It's worth noting that Albert Del Rio's release is the top story on the front page of WWE's website right now. Usually when WWE announces talent departures they use their real name but Del Rio's real name was not used in today's announcement.
If Del Rio really is gone from the company, his last match would have been a loss to Jack Swagger on this week's Main Event. He did not work the SmackDown taping and did not work today's live event in Melbourne, Australia.
It was recently reported that Del Rio's contract was expiring soon.

We noted before that WWE did not use Alberto Del Rio's real name when announcing his release from the company this evening. It's also interesting that they did not wish him the best in his future endeavors.
For what it's worth, Rob Feinstein of RF Video wrote on his Facebook that Del Rio was involved in a backstage incident at the recent WWE TV tapings. RF claimed that Del Rio had words with an employee who works for WWE's social media department and allegedly slapped him. This should be taken as strictly rumor for now.
We've noted how Del Rio has expressed interest in leaving WWE and returning to Mexico once his deal expired this year.

WWE provided the following Twitter update regarding the company’s decision to fire Alberto Del Rio:
“@VivaDelRio is responsible for his own actions. If you’re angry at anyone, be angry at Alberto. There’s no excuse for a pro athlete not to conduct themselves in a professional manner."

More Details on Alberto Del Rio's Incident with a WWE Social Media Worker
By Marc Middleton
Aug 9, 2014 - 9:44:27 AM
- It's been reported that the WWE employee that Alberto Del Rio slapped is Cody Barbierri. On LinkedIn and Twitter, Barbierri identifies himself as WWE's manager of social media live events.
According to a new report, WWE's social media manager was supposedly asked to wipe his plate clean following a meal in catering. He allegedly joked that it was Del Rio's job to clean the plate, which could be perceived as racist by Hispanic people. Del Rio was informed of the comment, and confronted him. The individual did not apologize for his remark and then smiled at him. Fuming, Del Rio slapped him.
As noted, WWE posted the following on Twitter about the incident: "@VivaDelRio is responsible for his own actions. If you're angry at anyone, be angry at Alberto. There's no excuse for a pro athlete not to conduct themselves in a professional manner."
Triple H also re-tweeted this comment.

Wish they would bring back Steve Austin to challenge Triple H and Stephanie for control like the Bischoff era, gone downhill imo but still watch it from time to time.

Del Rio should have locked in the armbar and broken his arm, also Triple H retweeted the WWE tweets.

Excellent. Not even a small loss, one of the least intense, uncharismatic bores WWE's ever tried to present as a big deal. My equivalent of what most people think of Randy Orton, nothing about him ever intrigued me.

Maybe in Mexico, not in WWE
