One of the biggest pieces of wrestling news this week was the apparent firing of Alberto Del Rio by WWE. Apparently, he slapped a WWE.com employee. A lot of people online have put on their conspiracy theorist hats, assuming that this is all a work based on the wording of the WWE’s statement as well as the odd Twitter posts @WWE had as of late, but I’m not so sure.
I’d love to see Dos Caras make a few appearances before heading back to Mexico, or more intriguingly, have Alberto join the Kofi / Big E stable, using these “events” as a springboard, but I don’t think that’s happening. I think all of this really happened and it is a harbinger, in some ways, of the future of WWE.
Let’s take a look at what we definitely know to be true.
The WWE.com statement
“WWE announced the release of Alberto Del Rio due to unprofessional conduct and an altercation with an employee.”
