BREAKING NEWS: Alberto Del Rio Quits WWE

[C.M. Shaddix]

It was cool when he came back at first but Vince was stupid to make that Mex America gimmick and he was immediately ice cold, I'm shocked he didn't even last a whole year on the new deal

 

[SmackChat-Luke]

Of course his dumbass girlfriend will leave as well.. Do you guys not realize that's what women do?.. Brandi followed Cody out the door, Brie left as soon as Bryan retired. AJ eventually left because her husband left.. Women aren't capable of thinking for themselves. They need to hide behind their man and follow them everywhere they go like a puppet.

Wow, I'm not sure if that's pent up agression or just sexism. I'm tempted to say both.

I'd be sad to see Paige leave, though I could understand it. I reckon Del Rio might go back to LU - he was certainly treated better there than at the WWE

He's actually a troll.

I mean, I feel for the guy. If he was given empty promises, like a main event push, it's understandable that he was pissed.

The thing is, it's his fault that those things all became empty promises..

Yeah WWE tried to break them up, they are a so biased with relationships

For the sake of the discussion. WWE have openly and publicy denied those accusations.

How exactly? If a guy gets signed being promised a main event push it is his fault the other party did not fulfill said promise? Had he actually been pushed and flopped I would have agreed. But WWE set him up to fail right from the start on his return

No, not really.

Because when he first came back, it wasn't too long before he would just go out and party like crazy and all that other crazy shit all the time, he was described as a loose cannon, and it would make himself and any other wrestlers present at the time look bad, which of course the company took notice of after a while. It only got worse when he and Paige got together.

 

[Snowman1]

Good. Great move. ROH fans get to enjoy you again.

 

[Doxo]

Oh my god.... what's Alberto Dorito and Page doing in the Impact Zone?!

 

[The Phenom]

That's a lost to WWE Alberto del rio is a great ring performer After awhile his was underutilized I remember when that arm bar was deadly! Almost insta-tapout

Your eyes do not deceive you. Alberto Del Rio is officially finished with WWE.

According to sources close to the situation, Del Rio informed WWE through his lawyer that he was opting out 60 days ago. Del Rio was apparently (and rightfully so) frustrated with the empty promises he was given after being recruited to the company last summer. Del Rio had been promised a main event push, but instead was quickly put into a Mex-America angle that went nowhere, followed by being bundled as part of the mid card heel faction, the League of Nations.

As noted, WWE announced on August 17th that Del Rio and his real-life girlfriend, Saraya-Jade Bevis, a.k.a. Paige, were both suspended for 30 days for their first violations of the company's Wellness Policy. The timing is interesting given that Del Rio had given his notice several weeks earlier, in late June. Del Rio last wrestled for the company on the August 19th episode of SmackDown, where he faced John Cena, which ironically is the first opponent he had when he first returned. He is officially free at the end of September to work anywhere in the United States and all around the world.
