what happened to alberto del rio

According to the search results, Alberto Del Rio lost several matches and was fired from WWE on August 7, 2023, due to "unprofessional conduct" following an altercation with an employee who allegedly made a racist joke. The prevailing theory around his release is that he slapped a web producer backstage after the producer allegedly made a racist joke about him. Del Rio was arrested in May 2020 for allegedly battering and sexually assaulting his girlfriend at the time, but the charges were dropped in December 2021 after a witness went missing. Despite his hopes of getting another run with WWE, a higher-up WWE executive said there is "no f--king way" Del Rio was going to get brought back when a return was speculated about last year.
