Then: Reigning World Heavyweight Champion and babyface hopeful Alberto Del Rio toppled Christian on the midcard at SummerSlam 2013. The match was fine, but is best-remembered for Del Rio sporting a black eye he'd reportedly suffered during a bar fight over the weekend.

WWE ignored that and kept pushing the Mexican as a top star.

Now: Del Rio was canned in late-2014 following a nasty backstage altercation with one member of WWE staff. He'd return in 2016, but depart again the following year. Controversy has followed Alberto, and so have grim allegations about his personal life.

Today, he still wrestles but also works as a Spanish commentator for UFC.
