Alberto Del Rio is a lightning rod for controversy. The former GFW and WWE Champion just can't keep himself out of trouble, and he has dropped plenty of social media gaffes over the years, with his worst moment coming this April.

Having seemingly discovered the Periscope streaming platform during the spring, Del Rio started using it as a vehicle to project his unhinged, drunken rants upon his followers. Though he spent the first few weeks beating around the bush when it came to his former employers (he'd often refer to Triple H as "the man with the big nose"), Alberto eventually took the gloves off.

In his words:-

“I still believe Triple H has a big nose and no balls. We are happy people my wife and I. For all you people out there trying to break us, go f*** yourselves. Some people are pissed off about us and about me saying stuff about Triple H. Triple H, you’re a f***ing p***y, and I don’t have to be drunk to say this, you’re a p***y. You marry well and you’re a p***y. Come to La Cantanita and I’m gonna say it again. I don’t have to be drunk or sober. You got a big nose, no balls."

The videos were actually posted from his fiancee Paige's Twitter account, which is interesting, given that she's still employed by WWE. Both (1, 2) are still present on her feed.

Things heated up again in June. The Usos dropped a jab at Paige's private video leak during a rap battle with The New Day on SmackDown, and ADR came unglued once again, challenging Triple H to a fight. Alberto literally tweeted out his restaurant's address, such was his desire to put hands on 'The Game.'

Presumably, Triple H had better things to do than show up for a scrap with a former employee.
