According to the wonderful Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, friends close to Alberto Del Rio say he’s not happy with how his character has been handled on WWE programming despite reportedly being paid well by the company.
Meltzer also reported that ADR’s contract has an out clause that would allow him to leave the company in September.
Additionally, it’s believed that Del Rio is also upset that his reported girlfriend, former WWE Divas Champion Paige, was drafted to WWE Raw, whereas Del Rio was drafted to WWE SmackDown Live. It’s been said that move was made intentionally to split the couple up. WWE has a track record in the past of going out of their way to break up real life relationships. This is believed to be another reason why Del Rio is upset with WWE.
Del Rio returned to WWE last October after being released in August of 2014 for “unprofessional conduct” after he struck an employee who made a racist comment towards him.
At this time, it’s unclear if there reports are valid and if ADR is thinking about leaving the company.
