Alberto Del Rio Reportedly Involved in Bitter Divorce Battle, Accused of Committing Adultery

August 22, 2016

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, suspended WWE star Alberto Del Rio is currently amidst a bitter divorce battle with his wife, and she is accusing him of adultery, a claim which Del Rio is denying.

According to obtained court documents filed at the end of June by Del Rio’s wife Angela Velkei, the couple’s marriage ended on May 27th, 2016 due to adultery.

Velkei’s attorneys Raymond Rafool and Richard Orsinger are also asking for a judge to issue a restraining order that would limit contact between their client and the former WWE champion.

While it’s not specifically mentioned, the listed break-up date is just two weeks after Del Rio and Paige went public with their relationship, when many people had no idea he was still married, and sources have added this wasn’t a coincidence.

Del Rio is telling a different story, however, and claims the couple’s relationship ended in June 2015 and it was because Angela was “guilty of cruel treatment” towards him.

According to Del Rio’s lawyers, the couple were married in Mexico, so he filed for divorce there last month. Because of that, they believe that country should have “dominant jurisdiction over the proceedings.”
