Alberto Del Rio had black eye from fight involving Drew McIntyre
Alberto Del Rio had a black eye at SummerSlam on Sunday, and reports say that is the result of a real fight he had on Saturday that also involved Drew McIntyre.
PW Insider reports that Del Rio was at an Irish pub nearby the WWE hotel in downtown Los Angeles and got into a fight. Some reports say he was jumped by a few men. McIntyre supposedly stepped in to help Del Rio and ended up with a few knots on the side of his head. Del Rio supposedly was hiding his face upon returning to the hotel.
The SummerSlam announcers mentioned Del Rio’s black eyes as he made his ring entrance on Sunday, but they attributed them to a punch from Christian at Smackdown on Aug. 9.
McIntyre looked fine when he tweeted this picture of himself out to dinner after the event on Sunday:
