More Details On Alberto Del Rio Release
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the incident involving Alberto Del Rio slapping a WWE employee may have taken place on August 5th in Laredo, Texas.
A good portion of the WWE crew had already left for Australia at this point, and people who have talked to Alberto were told of his punishment. They said Alberto himself said he would be suspended until after Summerslam, but was not told he would be fired or disciplined any further.
The belief is that after this, Cody Barbierri, the man who Alberto slapped, threatened to sue WWE, so Alberto was let go for legal reasons. Paul Levesque (Triple H) called him two days later on August 7th and gave Alberto notice of his release, which infuriated him. One performer also went on to say that Alberto’s firing was finalized because of how hard Alberto slapped Barbierri; the story going around is that Alberto “slapped the shit out of him”, and Barbierri ended up on the ground.
