10 WWE Superstars who were involved in a heated argument outside the ring

#2 Alberto Del Rio and a WWE employee

This whole situation was a complete PR nightmare for WWE

Up until Del Rio’s recent situation with Paige, this was his most controversial moment in North America. Despite being a top star in WWE, Del Rio was fired on August 7^th, 2014 following an altercation with a non-wrestler employee.

But this wasn’t a case of the fiery Latino living up to any stereotype; this was Alberto del Rio standing up to what could only be interpreted as a racist joke meant to demean Alberto and Mexicans in general.

According to most reports, the incident took place in WWE’s catering. A WWE office employee was asked to clean his plate, and this employee made the joke that doing so, ‘is Del Rio’s job’, presumably because Del Rio is Mexican. Well, Del Rio heard this and slapped him right in the face.

This employee then threatened to sue the WWE in response, but was himself fired from the company following widespread condemnation from WWE’s fans over the company’s hypocrisy over what is considers ‘unacceptable behaviour’.
