Alberto Del Rio and Paige began dating in 2016 but would separate in 2017. The pair had a turbulent relationship, and she has previously alleged that Del Rio kept her confined for hours during their time together. Since then, Del Rio has stated that the pair signed a confidentiality agreement, and he would take legal action if she spoke out against him again.
Now in an interview with Sportskeeda, he has opened up their relationship, saying they could have built an empire together but instead did stupid stuff with bad people.
I will always say this, like, she is amazing. Like, amazing! She is an amazing performer. We could have been something fantastic together. We could have been; we could have built an empire together with her talent, my talent, our charisma. But instead of that, we used our time to do stupid stuff. To party, to hang out with not good companies, not good people, sorry, not companies, not good people. It is what it is. We could have, should have, would have, you know.
The former WWE Champion is currently looking to rebuild his career and reputation following assault and kidnapping allegations that were made against him by another ex-girlfriend. She has rescinded these allegations, and Del Rio claims she made them due to wanting revenge for him cheating on her before their wedding. However, he still has a court date scheduled for later this year, which could be him spending significant time in prison if found guilty due to the state seemingly still proceeding.
