For those too lazy to check the link, it said,


"WWE noted that Del Rio was abruptly let go "due to unprofessional conduct and an altercation with an employee." Shortly afterwards, reports came out that Del Rio slapped a member of WWE's social media team.

According to f4wonline.com, the story going around this morning is that the whole thing started when somebody in catering (a staff member) asked WWE's Social Media Manager to clean off his plate. The social media manager allegedly responded, "That's Del Rio's job."

Word got back to Del Rio, who confronted the WWE employee. The Social Media Manager refused to apologize and smirked at Del Rio, which led to him getting slapped across the face.

It's believed that Del Rio has a 90-day no-compete clause that would prevent him from working for TNA or Mexico's AAA promotion.

Dave Meltzer noted that TNA is already trying to get in touch with Del Rio, asking around for his phone number.

Apparently, TNA already wants to make Del Rio the next TNA World Champion. "Next TNA champion is not a joke," Meltzer said. "Dead serious."'



Now I think Del Rio was pretty justified in slapping that guy in the face. As unprofessional as it was. You know what else is unprofessional? Telling someone that one of your Mexican employees should be cleaning off your plate (dishwasher is a stereotypical Mexican job). Then this social media guy has the balls to not only NOT apologize but to smirk about what he said. I would've done more then just slap this asshole if I were Del Rio.


And TNA is interested, which is cool, but I think making World Champion right away would be a huge mistake, you gotta build him up to that.
