Grudge Match
Big Show vs. Alberto Del Rio
It’s never wise to taunt a giant – and it’s even less wise to run one down with a luxury automobile. At WWE Capitol Punishment, Alberto Del Rio will feel the wrath of a recovering Big Show when The Mexican Aristocrat embarks on a collision course with The World’s Largest Athlete in Washington, D.C.
After Del Rio’s personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez “accidentally” hit the former World Heavyweight Champion with one of Del Rio’s extravagant rides on Raw – sidelining the giant for weeks – the devious duo mocked the 7-foot Superstar in his absence. First, Del Rio blamed Big Show for the incident, claiming that The World’s Largest Athlete had damaged his car and is therefore responsible for its repairs.
Then, the smarmy Rodriguez disrespectfully dressed up like Big Show – complete with a bald cap, singlet and crutches – so Del Rio could “apologize” to the hit-and-run victim in person. After that humiliating display, The Mexican Aristocrat issued a stern warning to Big Show, should he return to WWE seeking retribution.
Even though Show suffered a crushed knee and internal injuries thanks to Rodriguez’s questionable driving, the goliath roared back to Raw during a special three-hour “All Star Night.” Giving Del Rio’s personal ring announcer a tune-up of a different nature, The World’s Largest Athlete utterly decimated Rodriguez, inspiring guest Raw General Manager “Stone Cold” Steve Austin to schedule a match between Big Show and Del Rio at the first-ever Capitol Punishment pay-per-view.
Will the massive Big Show flatten The Mexican Aristocrat? Or will Del Rio send The World’s Largest Athlete back to the body shop? Find out when these two rivals collide at Capitol Punishment, this Sunday, only on pay-per-view.
