Alberto El Patron, formerly known as Alberto Del Rio during his time in WWE, has had a tumultuous relationship with Triple H, who currently serves as the Head of Creative and Head of Talent Relations for the company. During a Periscope stream following his release from WWE in 2016, El Patron made several derogatory comments about Triple H, referring to him as a derogatory term for female genitalia and insulting his physical appearance. In addition, El Patron made threatening comments about traveling to WWE headquarters to physically attack Triple H.
El Patron also claimed during this time that his ex-fiance, Saraya, had informed him that Triple H was responsible for the leak of a sex tape featuring her online. However, in more recent years, El Patron has expressed regret for his past comments and behavior towards Triple H.
During an interview with Sportskeeda, El Patron acknowledged that he had crossed the line with his comments about Triple H and that he had since apologized publicly. He addressed speculation that he was only apologizing because he needed a job, stating that he had always been employed in different industries but recognized the importance of apologizing for his past behavior.
El Patron admitted that at the time, he was not aware of the full extent of WWE’s plans to push new stars and that Mexico was no longer the lucrative market it once was. He believed that Triple H’s apparent dislike for him was personal rather than a business decision, which led him to make disparaging remarks. However, he now understands that he was in the wrong and should not have made those comments.
“I’ve done it [apologize for his comments.] I’ve done it publicly. There are some people saying, ‘Oh, you’re doing it because you need a job.’ No, I always had a job. Different kind of job, not in the wrestling business. I always had a job. I just did it because I learned I should have never crossed the line with Triple H.Â
“There was a reason why he was not using me, but back then, I was stupid, and I thought he just didn’t like me and not because, at the time, they wanted to push new stars, and Mexico was not the market it used to be.”
El Patron, a four-time WWE World Champion, has since gone on to compete in various wrestling promotions such as AAA, IMPACT Wrestling, and CMLL. While his career has taken him away from WWE, he has learned valuable lessons from his experiences and expressed remorse for his past actions towards Triple H.
