It's really unfortunate that Alberto Del Rio and the WWE powers that be could not ever get on the same page for this run. Once Paige came into the picture, things got even worse.
There was hope initially, once Del Rio defeated Cena and captured the United States title, but the decision to turn him heel immediately just added to the plethora of problems that would follow.

In early September, WWE officials would come to terms with Del Rio, regarding his desire to be released from the company. Since then, Del Rio has been booked pretty significantly, by promotions all over the world. He is also serving as the president of Combat Americas MMA.
As far as his relationship with Paige, the couple is apparently engaged and doing well, despite reports of a dispute several months back.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
