What’s the story?
Alberto Del Rio called his former boss Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque a pu***, in yet another drunken rant on Periscope.
In case you didn’t know...
Del Rio (real name- Jose Rodriguez) has worked for the WWE in the past, winning some of the organisation’s biggest titles in the process. The 2nd generation pro-wrestler had a fall-out with the company last year, after which he went on to make accusations of being mistreated, against his former employers.
The heart of the matter
As we reported earlier, the Mexican former WWE champion has live-streamed a couple of his previous drunken rants on Periscope, wherein he referred to the WWE head honchos as pu***** and threatened to confront Triple H at his home in Stamford, Connecticut.
Del Rio has followed up with yet another Periscope video, wherein he reportedly hurled expletives at HHH calling him a pu***.
Furthermore, Del Rio’s fiancée, former Divas champion and one of WWE’s biggest female Superstars Paige (Saraya-Jade Bevis) has posted the link to the aforementioned Periscope session on her official Twitter page.
What’s next?
Alberto Del Rio presently performs under the ring-name Alberto El Patron for Impact Wrestling, whereas Paige is currently rehabilitating her injury and is on a hiatus from the WWE.
The WWE is yet to officially respond to Del Rio’s accusations and threats.
Author’s take
As a huge fan of Paige and admirer of what the 24-year old has achieved at such a young age, even I can’t deny that she’s flirting with danger here as far as her WWE career is concerned. Del Rio’s rants, be that as they may, wouldn’t affect him much since he’s made it crystal clear that neither does he need WWE nor does he intend to return to the company for the fans.
However, Paige is yet to enter her prime as a pro-wrestler, with a long and potentially successful career ahead of her. By tweeting her fiancée’s drunken rants against one of the WWE’s higher-ups, in this case, Triple H, she may end up burning bridges with a company that has big plans for her in the near future.
