- In a recent interview with the Abe Kanan Show Alberto Del Rio talked about breaking Kayfabe by having to drive cheap rental vehicles while traveling for WWE, a stark contrast to his on air WWE persona. He also mentioned that his travel buddy is Drew McIntyre and that WWE should give stars more leeway with their characters, in reference to the Chris Jericho / Brazilian flag incident.
