Alberto El Patron recently appeared on Konnan’s “Keepin it 100” podcast. Amongst other topics, he opened up about his relationship with Paige. The 25-year-old from Norwich recently returned to WWE and has formed a new stable with Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.

Alberto El Patron Interview Highlights

Transcripts via WrestlingInc

On relationship with Paige: “By now everyone knows we are not together. We decided to end our relationship because I am in San Antonio, she is in Orlando, and now she is back on the road, and you know the schedule on the road there is non-stop, and my schedule is also non-stop. My projects with Telemundo and TV Azteca, calendar, clothing line, charity events, and all that stuff, we just weren’t seeing each other. With her training to come back they were not allowing her to come to San Antonio I couldn’t go to Orlando because II have three little kids, and I was coming home 2-3 days. I had to choose between going to Orlando for that time or staying with my kids and, of course, I chose to stay with my kids, so we decided to end our relationship. I know people just found out or they are just finding out, and the ones are just finding out, it was days or a few weeks ago. We ended the relationship weeks ago, but we both agreed not to say anything because we got tired of the media, people, everyone just having an opinion about us, including family who had an opinion on our relationship with what we did.”

On what their relationship is now: “When we were in Canada doing Impact tapings, I talked to Paige that it is about time we both say something because, you know, people are starting to realize we are not together because I am always working and you are always hanging out with your friends. After her saying that she didn’t want to say anything and that we had come to an agreement regarding it, but she said that if you want to say something say something because I wanted to, so I said okay, I’m not really going to say anything. Apparently, a friend accidentally posted a video stating that she was single, and then that video was deleted, but you know once you put something on the internet it is there forever. People started coming to me and thought to myself, seriously? I called Paige afterward and asked what was going on? She said that it was an accident, it was my friend, but I said, yeah, it’s always your friends, your family, your brother, someone from your side, it’s just not fair. We came to an agreement, and even though it wasn’t you saying it, it was someone from your side and I am just tired of being affected by your side of people, or your people, but that is the reality of things. We ended up on good terms. I wanted what was best for her, she wanted what was best for me. I know she is going to be the most successful diva in history, and she has all the talents. All the talent; we had an amazing relationship, and I just wanted to say this, it wasn’t the haters that broke us up, we both just decided that it was best for our careers and our kids.”

On Paige proposing to him at an indy show: “I turned around and was thinking to myself, ‘What the f***?’ I was like, we were having a fantastic time because it was just us, there was nobody involved; my family was but my family was always taking care of us, nobody from her side was there so we were having a great time, so when I turned around and saw her on one knee, and the whole crowd is chanting Si! Si! Si!, including my brother. My brother had the Mexican flag and he was pounding on the canvas, and I was like, seriously bro? We were in love; it was real, it was us always taking care of each other, but you know, I don’t know why people just started messing with us and never letting us be.”

On the public nature of their relationship: “It was just the internet overreacting. We are passionate in everything we do. We have strong tempers, and she is just like me with being a hot head, and reacting in a different way when she is mad, just like me, but we were always taking care of each other. I never talk about any of this before, but I’m going to tell you why; #1, I was protecting my wife, I was protecting the woman who was going to be my wife. She works for a company that has zero tolerance. That company fires you for no reason, sometimes they don’t need a reason to fire you. Of course, people were talking and making assumptions, which includes her family, or in this case her brother. Also because when that crap in Orlando happened, which was completely fake. I never once hurt her, she never hurt me, it was just internet BS and people believing it and the reason why the Orlando incident had affected my life so much – I hadn’t said anything about this, but #1 because I was already suspended, because of the company and its zero tolerance, I assumed they were going to fire her. For female wrestlers, it is nearly impossible to exist, especially in WWE. I have proved that I don’t need WWE and WWE doesn’t need me. I am making a fantastic living, pretty much the same amount of money for when I was there, but it is not the same for girls, and when that stuff happened and the brother went crazy and started saying stuff, Paige said that she is going to say something that happened in Orlando. I insisted that she doesn’t because, just wait, I am already suspended, just wait. Once the police report comes out everyone will know the truth and will know that everything your brother is saying is completely wrong. The stuff he said never happened, but I will be fine, so don’t worry.”

On Paige’s family: “The whole family is always on the internet; reading what the internet is saying, believing what the internet is saying. When that happened, the brother went and decided to say something. Not because he was really caring about Paige, or trying to protect her, because he knew the real situation. He just had a personal agenda against me to say the things he said. He said that he posted those things on Social Media because he cares about his sister, but he never called her before or after Paige had surgery. It was me that was in the hospital with her. No family with her, just me, day and night, holding her hand before and after surgery. The same brother that never called her after those videos were posted, when she was devastated; it was me, not him. We’re talking about the same brother that a few weeks before the whole drama happened, he was screaming to the world how I’m the best man, he’s my brother in law, and nobody was better than Alberto. Of course, this was when I was working for free for his dad’s company. They said that WWE was trying to ruin their anniversary show in Norwich, England when WWE was going to be there, and the dad was devastated he was crying, and really depressed. I said to them, you know what, you are my family now, I will take care of it. I ended up calling my great friend Rey Mysterio and I got Rey Mysterio for free to work the same show with me. We packed the place, and let me just say something, I have a lot of respect for her dad, Ray Knight. He was giving us some money, but I mean, not close to what we normally make, not even close, but because he is an honorable man and was doing it from the heart, it was like he was giving us a million dollars, and with all honesty, I miss the dad. He was always a good guy.”

Impact Wrestling star Alberto El Patron has confirmed that he is no longer engaged to WWE Superstar Paige.

On the latest episode of Konnan’s Keepin It 100 Podcast, Alberto explained that the main reason he and Paige ended their relationship is their conflicting schedules. Up until recently, Paige was living in Orlando and training for her in-ring return while he was based out of San Antonio, where his children live. They tried to see each other as often as possible, but ultimately decided it was too difficult to remain together.

After winning the Impact World Championship, The New Champion Eli Drake had commented on the former Champion Alberto El Patron’s suspension, stating that he doesn’t know whether or not he should be brought back to the company.

Now Alberto has responded to the comments of Drake during a recent conference call with WrestlingInc among other things. Below are some of the highlights from the call:

The comments of Eli Drake:

“To be honest, I don’t know anything about what Eli said after my suspension, which everyone knows was a wrongful suspension. I don’t really know, but whatever Eli said, he’s gonna have to back it up in the ring. He had the opportunity to be in the ring with me once, I took him to school, I taught him a lesson, and I think he had an amazing match for the first time in his life but it was because he was in the ring with Alberto El Patron, So whatever he said in the ring after my suspension, I don’t really care, because as you know, if I ever open my mouth I always back it up in the ring or in the streets or anywhere I have to back it up. I’m gonna have the opportunity to be in the ring with him pretty soon.

The difference between him and Drake:

“The difference between him and I, I earned that title, I fought for that title against one of the best performers in the world Bobby Lashley, and I won that title after hitting the 1-2-3 from the referee. He got it handed [to him], it was a present, it was an early Christmas present for Eli Drake. He’s not a real champion, real champions get their titles and get their victories in the battle.”

Impact moving to Canada:

“To me it’s fantastic. To be honest, when I joined Impact Wrestling I never understood why we were just doing it in Orlando. We need to go to other places, we need to give the opportunity to other people to see what Impact Wrestling has to offer,” he said. “So to me it’s fantastic that we’re not doing the tapings this time in Orlando and we are here in Canada, in this beautiful country. Of course the weather sucks, because it’s too cold out here (laughs). But the country is beautiful, I had the opportunity to perform in Canada so many times in the past and I know how passionate and how crazy the fans get when they get good pro-wrestling, and I’m 100 percent sure that’s exactly how it’s gonna be in the next few days. I hope the next time we get to do the tapings in Mexico!”

Kurt Angle will be making his long awaited in ring return for WWE when he joins forces with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose tonight at TLC.

Before Angle made his return to WWE to act as the RAW General Manager he made a few appearances for independent promotions, most notably in the UK for Rev Pro and WCPW. To celebrate his in ring return WCPW has released Angle’s match against controversial figure Alberto El Patron from their True Destiny PPV event. The match is available to watch in full below:

– We noted before how Alberto El Patron was expected to return to GFW TV during the Bound For Glory PPV on November 5th and now the company has confirmed these reports. They announced his return for the upcoming PPV during the latest episode of Impact Wrestling via the following promo:

https://twitter.com/JeremyBorash/status/918640617831522304

Alberto Del Rio was suspended by GFW back in July this year after the infamous airport incident involving his girlfriend Paige. He was the GFW World Champion at the time of his suspension though the company later stripped him of the title.

-Below is an interesting video of the upcoming WWE 2K18 game posted by Xavier Woods’ Youtube channel UpUpDownDown in which, Braun Strowman is seen doing the entrance of The New Cruiserweight Champion Kalisto:

Global Force wrestler Alberto El Patron announced on Twitter that he is suing Mexican wrestling promotion Federation Universal de Lucha Libre (FULL) for fraud.

El Patron claims FULL owes him 1,200,000 pesos (approximately $67,556 USD) for shows he worked on May 19th, 20th, 21st, and 27th.

Blue Demon Jr., Latin Lover, El Cibernetico, and Tinieblas Jr., were also allegedly not paid.

The statement notes, “We will announce the pertinent legal actions against these crimes committed.”

We noted before that in the latest GFW meeting it was decided that Sonjay Dutt, Scott D’Amore and “Big” John Gaburick will be leading the Creative Team in future.

This trio recently held a media conference call to discuss various topics related to the company and during the call Gaburick revealed that Alberto El Patron will return at the Bound For Glory event on November 5:

“We have plans for Alberto, we’re excited that he’s gonna be coming back at Bound For Glory, We’re excited about the future for Alberto, he’s an amazing talent and as a creative group we’re really excited to come up with some real cool scenarios and stories for him in the upcoming months.”

It’s worth mentioning here that according to Wrestling Observer, the original plans for Alberto were for him to face either Jeff Jarret or Rey Mysterio at the PPV.

However, since the talks between Mysterio and GFW are dead and Jarret is also taking ‘indefinite leave of absence’ from the company, those plans are nixed now.

So it’d be interesting to see what the new creative team has planned for their former World Champion once he returns to the GFW programming.

Quotes via WrestlingInc.

Amidst the reports of GFW/Impact Wrestling once again being up for sale, there is still uncertainty regarding Alberto Del Rio’s status with the company.

After it was revealed that Jeff Jarret is taking an ‘indefinite leave’ from GFW, many believed that the doors for Alberto were closed since Jarret is believed to be the one behind his push, but apparently, it’s not the case.

In his recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Alberto Del Rio was asked whether or not he will return to GFW, answering to which he said that he has been in touch with the company and they are working to bring him back on TV:

“I’ve been in touch with Global Force Wrestling, and we’re working to bring back Alberto El Patron to the company. We’re working to find something that will please the fans. At the end of the day, I work for the fans; they are the ones I work to please.”

Continuing on the topic, the former WWE Champion hinted that he may return to the company during the November tapings after the Bound For Glory PPV:

“I am going to put all my heart, all my passion into making this work. I am completely focused on where I want to take the company in November, and I promise to make the company great again, and Alberto is going to be on top again.”

Alberto Del Rio was suspended by GFW back in July this year after the infamous airport incident involving him and his girlfriend Paige.

While many expected him to return before the August tapings of Impact, Del Rio was instead stripped of the GFW World title by the officials, leaving people questioning about his status.

According to PWInsider Alberto El Patron may be making his way back to Global Force Wrestling either before or after Bound For Glory, dependent on whether they can film an angle first…

Patron was expected to take part in a major segment at AAA’s TripleMania event which would setup an angle and eventual match at Bound For Glory. AAA reportedly angered Alberto when they copyrighted the ‘Alberto El Patron’ name in Mexico and subsequently he refused to film the angle in their ring.

The only alternative for GFW is to film the angle at an independent show so that the footage would be available for Impact, there are currently no reports on where and how they plan to do so.

Bobby Lashley recently took part in a media conference to promote Thursday’s GFW Destination X special on Pop TV. Lashley talked about various topics including wrestling WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle in his final TNA match and Alberto El Patron being stripped of the GFW World Championship. Here are the highlights:

Wrestling Kurt Angle in his final match in TNA:

“I’ve done a lot of things in wrestling – big pay-per-views all across the world, from WrestleMania to everything else – but I put that match all the way at the top. Not at the top of everything, but I think it’s my top two or three. Reason being, I’ve always looked up to Kurt. I was watching him when I was in high school wrestling and Kurt was winning nationals in college.

When I went to college and was winning national championships, Kurt was winning the World and Olympic championships. I just kind of followed him all the way up. Afterwards, when I was at the Olympic training center, Kurt came to there to do a vignette and Kurt is the one that found me. He said, ‘You ever think about professional wrestling?’ We talked for a little bit and I passed my number on. The rest is history. He’s the one that got me into professional wrestling.

For 12 years I was in pro wrestling, Kurt and I never crossed paths. When I went to WWE, he went to TNA, when I went to TNA, he stepped out and was fighting, he came back and I was out and then I finally came back. This whole time he mentored me along the way, we would always talk to me on the phone and we’d talk about different matches and what to do and he’d just help me out with the politics of wrestling. Actually having an opportunity to wrestle him, towards the end, that was the one thing that I was pulling for so hard. I was telling them ‘if Kurt is getting ready to retire, you gotta get me in the ring with him.’ It was incredible. We had two big matches in each time it was like you were in the ring with your teacher. I like Kurt’s style, I mimic Kurt’s style to a certain extent so to me it was amazing.”

GFW suspending Alberto El Patron and stripping him of the World Championship:

“If we go out there and do something we have to hold ourselves accountable for the things that we do. The company has to do what they have to do. It’s an unfortunate situation. I don’t know all of the details because I try to stay out of that. My business and my contract says for me to be a performer and do that part, not to do any of the backstage or office stuff. The one thing I do know is, who needs the title? That’s me. Give me my title back. I could care less what’s going on with him. I’m just here to compete and now there’s an open title. That’s what I’m focussed on.”

H/T to Pro Wrestling Torch for the transcript of this interview.

We noted before how Alberto El Patron was surprisingly stripped of the GFW World Heavyweight Championship despite no longer being a suspect in the infamous airport incident anymore, though now it appears the whole thing is only the start of a new controversy.

After the news of the suspension broke out, El Patron took on his Instagram account to offer his comments on being stripped and he made some shocking claims while doing so.

According to Alberto, it was actually his idea to strip him of the title and he suggested it just to show that the company doesn’t have any favourites and everybody is treated equally:

“My company Impact and I have come to an agreement that it’s best for both parties if I be stripped from the championships. I came up with the suggestion just to show that Impact doesn’t have favorites and everyone gets treated the same. “
https://www.instagram.com/p/BXyrTz1AqIc/

As previously mentioned, the official statement sent out by GFW stated that they are taking the title away from the former WWE Star because they are “disappointed with the manner” in which he dealt with the situation.

As of writing, Alberto El Patron is still suspended by the company and if he is not reinstated soon, he will be forced to miss the upcoming Impact tapings starting from 17th August.

If it happens GFW Officials will be forced to make major changes to their plans and they will have to come up with a completely new direction for their World title.

The only good news in all of this for the company is that former WWE Star John Morrison is expected to debut on Impact very soon and he is very much capable of filling the shoes of the former GFW World Champion.

Global Force Wrestling provided an update on Alberto El Patron’s suspension on Monday. As a result of the airport incident with Paige from last month (and other backstage incidents, the details of some which have not been publicized), Alberto has been stripped of the GFW World Championship.

Here’s the official statement:

“GFW has concluded its internal consideration of the events surrounding the suspension of Alberto El Patron. While it is apparent that initial reports unfairly characterized El Patron’s involvement in the incident in the Orlando airport, we are nonetheless disappointed with the manor in which he dealt with this situation; we expect more decorum from all on the GFW roster, especially the World Champion.

We have communicated with El Patron our decision to strip him of his championship title. No decision has been taken as to the date on which he will be reinstated to the roster, the conditions of which are a private matter between the company and El Patron.”

GFW presents a live ‘Destination X’ edition of Impact Wrestling on Thursday. This weekend, the company will tape nearly 3 months of television, so a resolution to this matter was expected this week.

In light of the news, former TNA World Champion Bobby Lashley is already staking his claim to the vacant GFW title.

Eva Marie on her future

Eva Marie posted the following on Instagram after announcing that her time in WWE has come to an end:

“Today is a bittersweet day, as @WWE and I have agreed to part ways. It has been an incredible 4 years, and I am truly grateful to Vince, Paul, Stephanie and the entire WWE team. I would not be where I am today without their continued support.

There are such priceless moments from the past few years…everything from visiting our troops in Afghanistan to working alongside the Special Olympics. I couldn’t even begin to share them all here, but there’s no doubt – I will carry them with me into this exciting journey ahead.

Last but not least, thank YOU, my fans, for allowing me to live out a dream that I could have never imagined for myself. You are the reason I love to go to work, and that’s not changing anytime soon!

And finally…the hustle won’t stop! After shooting back to back films, more are coming and I can’t wait to share with you soon. #Love #AllRedEverythingForever”

Alberto El Patron no longer a suspect in domestic violence incident

Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that Alberto El Patron is no longer under investigation by police over the airport incident earlier this month between he and Paige. A rep for the Orlando PD told Pro Wrestling Sheet that “due to the detective’s investigation determining that Paige is the one who should be charged for domestic violence, they no longer view El Patron as a suspect”. Alberto El Patron is the GFW Champion, but is indefinitely suspended by GFW as they investigate the incident. It is unknown at this time if GFW has lifted the suspension since El Patron is no longer viewed as a suspect.

Sasha Banks & Bayley on their match on next week’s RAW

IGN has released the following video of Sasha Banks and Bayley at the San Diego Comic Con. During the interview, the two Superstars began hyping their match on next week’s episode of the RAW. The winner of that match will become the #1 contender for the RAW Women’s Championship. Sasha Banks claimed that she will be the one to win Monday’s match and Bayley reminded her that she usually defeats Banks whenever they face each other.

Alberto El Patron will be stepping down as president of the Combate Americas MMA promotion. Combates Americas CEO Campbell McLaren made the following comments MMAUNO.com about Patron stepping down:

“Alberto is a really good friend of mine and his girlfriend Saraya who is ‘Paige’ I’m sure you know, they become very close friends of mine and when they are in New York they come out to dinner with my wife and I,” McLaren told MMAUNO.com. “They are good pals, but what Alberto is telling me, is that his first love is wrestling. You know, his father was ‘Dos Caras’ a very famous wrestler and Saraya’s family is third generation English wrestlers, you know about her right? And so what Alberto has said to me, and we haven’t unveiled this yet, but we can talk about it, he’s probably stepping back his official roles from Combate and he’s going to focus on more on wrestling for the next year or two.”

“I think he’s reaching a point in his career when he knows that the physical demands of wrestling are not what he wants to continue doing, but I think he knows he’s got a couple of years still left to keep maintaining his level of performance,” McLaren said. “It’s a very challenging enterprise and I think it’s very, very hard on the body and difficult to do. Very physical, very athletic, so I he’s kind of asked me if he can step away and with Saraya, focus on wrestling.”

“We will remain as friends and he will always be at Combate events,” McClaren said. “But in an official sense, he’s going to step down.”

Alberto El Patron is still serving an indefinite suspension from Global Force Wrestling, even though he is currently the World Heavyweight Champion. The suspension came as a result of an incident involving Patron and Paige at the Orlando International Airport earlier in July. The investigation of the incident is still ongoing and GFW is currently doing an investigation of their own while Patron is indefinitely suspended.

Max Landis creates petition to bring “Talking Smack” back to the WWE Network as a weekly show

Filmmaker Max Landis, writer and director of “Wrestling Isn’t Wrestling”, created a petition to bring “Talking Smack” back to the WWE Network on a weekly basis. As of now, the petition has 12,126 signatures with a 15,000 signature goal. Below is Landis’ statement on the petition and you can sign it by clicking here.

“Talking Smack,” the Smackdown Post show, was announced as cancelled today.  This is a huge loss for the WWE.

“Talking Smack” was an innovative, engaging, compelling and reliably hilariously funny closer look at the characters and world of the WWE.  It drove deeper interest in characters who often didn’t get time to speak on television, and was home to some of the best segments in recent history.

The informal style, spearheaded by the grounded, friendly conversational performance of host Renee Young and bolstered by Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon, who act like real people, shows a side of the wild storylines that makes even the most silly and ridiculous situation on Smackdown suddenly seem remarkably real, fun, and complex.

Shows like “Talking Smack,” that broaden the world of the WWE Universe and give a looser-structured but tighter-focused look at the Superstars within it, are integral to growing interest in story-lines and characters; they are not just frosting.  I know this, because due to Talking Smack, I am a fan with a more vested and profound appreciation for Erick Rowan, The Usos, Alexa Bliss, and even more prominent characters like AJ Styles.

WWE prides itself on hearing the voice of the WWE Universe, so let’s speak up.  Sign this petition, and let’s make it clear that WE, the WWE Universe, the $9.99ers and the crowds on Youtube who make WWE’s channel the second most watched content IN THE WORLD, want “Talking Smack” BACK.

Stand up and shout loud for an uncommon, and uncommonly smart show.

Global Force Wrestling announced earlier today that they have suspended GFW Champion Alberto El Patron indefinitely until his ‘domestic violence battery’ incident investigation is resolved. Paige once again took to Twitter today and stated that she was the one being held being held for battery charges because she threw a drink on Patron. Paige then called the person that leaked the audio of the incident a “disgusting, horrible human being of a lady”.

Here are Paige’s comments today on Twitter:

“Alberto didn’t want me to say the full story because he didn’t want people to know and I didn’t want people to know that I threw a drink on him.

But the full story is.

I had a phone call saying my uncle is in a bad way. I’m crying outside the restaurant. I go in, Alberto is hugging me. I’m a little sensitive and we start bickering about something so small. I say I’m leaving and he says something that I won’t write on here but it wasn’t nice and I, even though I shouldn’t have done it. I threw a drink in his face because I was so angry. Again. Shouldn’t have done it. It was in front of a lot of people.

I walk out. He follows me a few seconds later and gets the cops and security and a crazy lady decides to leave whatever she’s doing to follow us and invade our privacy in the completely low way. Only low life people would do.

Anyways. It was ME who was being held for battery charges because I threw a drink on him. No. He never touched me and no I never hit him with a glass 3 times like the internet in all their glory is making out. It’s completely ridiculous how one story can spiral out of control. Oh and guess what internet. He smelt like beer BECAUSE I THREW A BEER ON HIM. Nothing more. Nothing less. No one got arrested. There’s no mug shots. There’s no charges. Nothing.

The horrible, disgusting human being of lady decided she wanted to make money out of our misfortune. I wish, WISH people would give us the privacy we deserve. I know we won’t get it. But I WISH that would happen.”

Zak Bevis, older brother of WWE Superstar Paige (Saraya Jade Bevis), has taken to Facebook to issue an emotional plea to his sister regarding her volatile relationship with Alberto El Patron. Zak accuses “control freak” Alberto of beating Paige. He’s concerned she will end up like Whitney Houston or Amy Winehouse, two celebrities whose lives were cut short due to drugs. He says the message is on behalf of his entire family.

“Please share this, I want the world to know that i care about my lil sister.”

An audio recording released by TMZ on Monday sheds new light on the airport altercation between Alberto El Patron and Paige that occurred the previous and it conflicts Paige’s version of what transpired.

We reported that Global Force Wrestling Alberto El Patron was detained by police on Sunday at Orlando International Airport for an incident that they described as “domestic violence battery.” Witnesses said Alberto roughed up his female companion, which lead to the authorities getting involved.

Shortly after the news began circulating online, Paige refuted the reports that she and Alberto were at it again:

https://twitter.com/RealPaigeWWE/status/884496145673850880

That apparently was not not “it.” In this newly released audio recording, the two were captured in the midst of a heated dispute that involved an emotional Paige saying, “Stay out of my life. Leave me the f*ck alone. I’m trying to get away from you. All the time.”

Alberto is heard saying saying, “Let’s do it. Get the cops .. I’m pressing charges against you. Call the police .. She assaulted me. She needs to be arrested .. We got into a fight at the restaurant.”

We reported exclusively last month that Alberto El Patron and Paige broke up (again) after another altercation, also in Orlando. The split didn’t last and the volatile couple was back together within a matter of days.

As reported earlier, Alberto El Patron was detained at an Orlando airport on Sunday. A witness informed TMZ that Alberto and a woman were arguing in the airport terminal. Things then escalated, there was an ‘altercation’ and police were called.

Paige recently posted a couple of tweets about the incident and claimed that a woman threw a drink at Patron when the couple refused a picture. Paige stated that she received some bad family news and the woman tried to take a picture.

Global Force Wrestling has also issued a short statement regarding Alberto El Patron being detained by police at the Orlando airport for a ‘domestic battery’ incident [via Ryan Satin]:

“Global Force Wrestling takes all legal situations very seriously and is looking into this matter.  GFW is a privately-held company and will thoroughly investigate this incident and fully cooperate with law enforcement.”

Global Force Wrestling will now be conducting their own internal review of the alleged incident involving GFW champion Alberto El Patron. Alberto was featured prominently in storylines at GFW’s most recent tapings and it remains unclear if all of that footage will make it to air over the next couple of months.

Global Force Wrestling champion Alberto El Patron was detained by police on Sunday at the Orlando airport. PWInsider obtained the following statement from the Orlando Police Department:

“There was an incident at Orlando International Airport at about 3 p.m. Sunday involving Jose Rodriguez (DOB 5/25/1977) The reported incident was a domestic violence battery, and it is still under investigation. No arrests have been made as of this time, but the case remains open. That is all the information we have for release at this time.”

TMZ.com corroborates the story and provided some additional information. The “domestic violence battery” involved Alberto allegedly “roughing up” a female companion. A witness told TMZ that Alberto and the woman were arguing in the terminal. Things escalated, there was an ‘altercation’ and cops were called.

The day prior to the incident, Alberto El Patron’s fiance Paige posted this photo with members of El Patron’s family at Universal Studios in Orlando.

El Patron had been advertised for an independent show in Texas but did not make it.

It’s the latest erratic incident from the former WWE Superstar. With SmackDown Live taking place from San Antonio, Alberto invited Triple H and the participants of last week’s rap battle to meet him at his restaurant for some beers (and other stuff).

Alberto El Patron has once again gone on a tirade about WWE on social media. El Patron has taken shots at Triple H in the past, but this time he also mentioned the rap battle that aired on this past week’s episode of SmackDown between The Usos and New Day. The Usos took a shot at Xavier Woods during the rap battle and referenced Woods being in one of the private videos that were leaked involving Paige. Here is the lyric from the rap battle that El Patron may have had an issue with:

“Let’s just keep it PG, you know what’s good. Don’t get all rated-R like your boy Xavier Woods”.

El Patron posted on Instagram that he will be in San Antonio on Tuesday night at his restaurant. SmackDown Live is also being held in San Antonio that night. El Patron posted the following on Instagram and claimed that he will be waiting at his restaurant once SmackDown concludes:
