Former WWE Superstar Alberto Del Rio seems to have gotten a bad rap by WWE. The former WWE Champion was fired for hitting a Social Media employee with WWE. Most felt that Del Rio doing this was wrong. Why hit a guy randomly? That was before we knew the whole story. Del Rio hit the man due to a racist comment he made about Del Rio, who is a Mexican.
Due to his Hispanic Heritage, WWE loved having him. He helped their Hispanic audience well, and WWE pushed him to the moon and back until the last year or so. This made many wonder why WWE would fire him over something where he was clearly only defending himself against a racist moron.
The reason was that the Social Media guy wanted to press charges against WWE, but WWE officials talked him out of it. They pretty much had to fire Alberto Del Rio to help settle the issue and make sure the lawsuit was dropped.
Del Rio won his case against WWE and is now able to appear with any promotion he chooses.
