Alberto Del Rio

As reported by News4SanAntonio, Jose A. Rodriguez Chucuan, better known as Alberto Del Rio was arrested on charges of sexual assault.

The victim reportedly approached the police on May 4th and told them that Del Rio assaulted her in a fit of rage at 10:00 PM on May 3rd. The woman suffered multiple injuries on her body as a result of the assault.

The victim had also stated that Del Rio made some disturbing remarks about her son and described in detail the horrific actions of the former 4-time World Champion.

Del Rio was arrested on May 9 with a bond set at $50,000. Del Rio posted the bond and was released from jail on Sunday at around 3:30 am, as per the records. Dave Meltzer of WON also stated that he has been released from jail.

Alberto Del Rio allegedly assaulted his girlfiriend

The woman in question was the girlfriend of Del Rio. The former WWE Superstar had alleged that she had been unfaithful to him, although the woman denied any such allegations against her.

The affidavit revealed that Del Rio struck her about 10 times before he proceeded to assault her in an unspeakable and graphic manner. He also threatened to "drop him (the woman's son) off in the middle of the road somewhere."

#4 Is Rey Mysterio really leaving WWE?

After the spot where King Corbin threw Rey Mysterio and Aleister Black off the roof during the MITB match, there was a lot of speculation regarding the future of Rey Mysterio in WWE.

Certain reports suggested that throwing Mysterio off the roof was the kayfabe death of the former WWE Champion and the end of his WWE run as he had not signed a new contract with the company. However, Mysterio's appearance on RAW this week proved that it is not the case.

Here is what Ryan Satin had said on Twitter:

If the rumors are true and Rey Mysterio is possibly on his way out of WWE, killing off his character by throwing him off the roof is certainly a unique exit.

Is Rey Mysterio leaving WWE?

As per Dave Meltzer of WON, these rumors are baseless and the Master of 619 has not been 'killed'. Meltzer stated that Mysterio is still with the company.

Here is what he tweeted:

Not sure if this is an issue, but Mysterio isn't going anywhere.

It will be interesting to see how WWE book Mysterio's future and how long the former WWE Champion will continue to be featured on RAW as his contract will be expiring soon.

#3 Seth Rollins reacts to becoming a father

Seth Rollins is engaged to Becky Lynch and the two are now having a baby, as announced by The Man Becky Lynch on RAW this week.

The two RAW Superstars have been together for a long time and Becky Lynch announced on RAW that she was pregnant and vacated her RAW Women's Championship, handing it over to Asuka. In an interview with People, Becky Lynch talked about how her fiance Seth Rollins reacted to the news of him becoming a father:

"I took the first one wrong. Then I took a few more tests until I got a digital one that just said the word 'Pregnant.' I was with Seth at the time and he just threw his hands up in the air, all excited!"

What is the future of Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch?

While The Man has vacated her Women's Championship, she may still make some appearances on WWE during the time she will not be in action. As for Rollins, while being a father will bring in new responsibilities, for now, The Messiah will continue on his path to 'lead' the RAW locker room.

#2 Details on Triple H 'burying' Taz

In 2000, ECW Champion Taz went one-on-one against WWE Champion Triple H on SmackDown. However, the match did not last more than 5 minutes as The Game made quick work of Taz.

While speaking on his podcast - Grilling JR - Jim Ross revealed that the reason why Taz was buried was due to his size, which is the reason for him not being popular with the front office.

"It didn't do it any favors, killed might have been a strong word," Ross said. "It didn't help anybody except Hunter got a nice win in Philadelphia. Taz was so underutilized when we hired him in WWE. For whatever reason, he was never in political favor. Hunter is 6'4, Taz is under 6 foot. The perception was, even though Taz could snuff out on 99% of the guys on the roster, that he's not convincing. (H/t: WrestlingInc)

Jim Ross further added that he had considered getting Taz into WWE a major win as he was a fan of Taz's work in ECW. Ross stated that people percieved Taz as a human suplex machine in ECW and that Paul Heyman (who was in-charge of ECW) knew how to book him well.

#1 Vince McMahon's instructions for the MITB match

The first-ever 'corporate' Money in the Bank that took place at MITB this weekend has received mostly positive reviews from fans and critics. The match was unique and something the fans had never seen before in WWE.

We saw all the participants of the MITB match - men and women - fight it out in the WWE Headquarters in order to win the MITB contract that was hanging on the roof of the building.

While we had many memorable moments from the match, one moment that stood out, in particular, was when AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan accidentally entered Vince McMahon's office. However, the two stopped fighting and quietly went out of the office after being instructed to do so by the WWE Chairman.

Cagesideseats have stated why McMahon's office was not 'trashed' during the match:

WrestlingNews.co was told McMahon was okay with having wrestlers fight in his office at Money in the Bank but didn’t want the room “trashed” because he didn’t want anything to happen to the T. Rex skull on his wall.
