According to FightNetwork, WWE and Jose Alberto Rodriguez (Alberto Del Rio) are close to a resolution on his non-compete status and an announcement could be coming in the near future. August 7, WWE announced that Del Rio was being fired for an altercation with a WWE employee who made some racist remarks to him. August 11, AAA announcer Arturo Rivera said that Del Rio would be returning to the AAA promotion Triplemania XXII, as El Patron (The Boss). Rivera acknowledged that Del Rio did in fact work with WWE and they owned the name, so that was the reason for the name change. Del Rio also announced he had a 90 day no compete clause, and was banned from wrestling in the United States for a year. September 2, Del Rio addressed the no compete clause at a press conference for an AAA event. It is unconstitutional that you cannot work ... Thanks to lawyers and support of AAA, I can fight without any problems. Rodriguez confirmed in an interview that the person he slapped was Cody Barbierri, WWEs manager of Social Media Live Events. This person made some comments, I slapped him, I feel embarrassed of my actions, he said the week after his release on the Mexican morning news show Primero Noticias of Televisa. After his comment I stood up and I demanded an apology for what he said, but he smiled and said nothing and I slapped him. A piece of trivia for you, Barbierri has appeared on WWE television as a character in the past. December 31, 2012, he appeared as then WWE champion CM Punks personal physician, Dr. Kirshenbaum. He declared that he would not be able to compete against Ryback January 7, 2013 due to a knee injury. This was noted last week by MetsFan4Ever on Reddit, a former WWE backstage worker who has broken WWE news and produced multiple shows scripts. The guy Del Rio slapped is the guy that was CM Punks doctor when Punk had his bad knee in late 2012, he wrote. He appears on camera with Punk out in the ring.
