WWE superstar Alberto Del Rio — a former heavyweight champion — was released by WWE Friday … less than one month after a wellness policy violation.
“My business relationship with @WWE has come to an end in good terms,” Del Rio tweeted out.
“Thanks for the opportunities they gave me.”
The WWE also issued a statement saying the two sides “mutually agreed on the terms of his release.”
It’s not Del Rio’s first split with the company — he was fired in 2014 for “unprofessional conduct” after an altercation with an employee.
Del Rio and his real-life girlfriend, Paige, were each hit with a 30 day suspension last month for violating the WWE’s talent wellness policy.
There are rumblings that Paige will leave WWE as well — but so far, nothing’s been confirmed.
