WWE.com
WWE.com have announced the shock release of former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio.
The website listed “unprofessional conduct, and an altercation with an employee” as the reasons for Del Rio’s release. They did not include the traditional “wish him well in his future endeavors” line.
The firing of Del Rio comes after the star had largely been removed from the WWE main event scene after being in the World Title mix for the duration of his WWE run.
According to Rob Feinstein of Rf Video, Del Rio slapped a member of WWE’s social media team, although that should be treated purely as a rumour at this stage.
Months ago it was rumoured that Del Rio planned on quitting WWE when his contract expired this year. During his WWE run, Del Rio was a two-time WWE champion, a two-time World Heavyweight champion, and a Royal Rumble winner.

There's been a little bit of drama on a non-nbc late-night show -- but it's happened very, very quietly.
Without any fanfare, Fox opted to change producers on its newborn "Wanda Sykes Show" a few weeks ago, before Coco-Leno boiled over. Original executive producer Eddie Feldman and co-exec producer Rick Qualliotine were let go, two people familiar with the decision told TheWrap.
In their place: Veteran Eddie October has taken over as executive producer, while Liza Stanton is a new co-executive producer. John Ridley is still in charge of writing.
