As noted, former WWE star Alberto Del Rio was involved in a backstage fight with Lucha wrestler Alan Xtreme, aka Rafy of Ninja Turtles, last weekend at Arena Naucalpan in Mexico. Rafy spoke with +LuchaTV about the incident, which you can listen to in Spanish in the video above. You can check out video of Del Rio and Paige backstage at Arena Naucalpan shortly before the fight in the video above.
According to @SweetWrestle , Erik Acosta and Yelissa, the fight broke out after Rafy bumped into Paige on the way down the stairs. Rafy had the following to say:
“I was walking down the stairs, I crashed with Paige and I let her pass and said, pasale hermosa (you go ahead, beautiful). I didn’t touch her, but Alberto said to me that calling her beautiful was disrespectful.”
Rafy felt he was not being disrespectful, and then he headed to the locker room area where the fight broke out. Despite a Tweet from Del Rio claiming Rafy touched Paige, Rafy claims he did not, and only called her “beautiful”, which he later said might have been a poor choice of words. Rafy says him and Del Rio eventually apologized to each other, and their friendship and relationship is now alright. Rafy added he will not file a lawsuit against Del Rio.
