Overview
- Del Río uses the show to describe long‑term anger and impulsivity he attributes to a toxic backstage culture during his years in WWE.
- He recounts a 2014 incident in which a staffer allegedly made a derogatory comment about Mexicans, after which he says he slapped the employee and was fired for “inappropriate conduct.”
- He says he briefly returned in 2015 but departed for good in 2016, citing creative differences, internal tensions and a hostile environment.
- He discusses a poor rapport with Dolph Ziggler, saying they did not speak for about two years and only worked together professionally when assigned.
- Neither Del Río nor Ziggler is currently with WWE, with Ziggler wrestling in TNA as Nic Nemeth; Del Río also recalled Ziggler’s Money in the Bank cash‑in that took his title before he won it back days later.
