History Heartwarming / AlbertoDelRio

* In general, Alberto and Ricardo's relationship after the former's HeelFaceTurn. Contrast Alberto rushing to Ricardo's aid after TheBigShow beat his head in backstage, with Alberto leaving Ricardo to become a SacrificialLamb in the middle of the ring to be beaten up by other wrestlers.

* It looks like Ricardo Rodriguez's UndyingLoyalty to Del Rio has finally brought out the Mexican Aristocrat's heroic side. On the New Year's Eve 2012 episode of RAW, in which each reigning Champions defended their title against an opponent of their choice, TheBigShow picked Ricardo Rodriguez. It's already been established that Del Rio cares about Ricardo if he doesn't care about anyone else, but the scene right before the match takes the cake for heartwarming. Del Rio apologizes to Ricardo for treating him so terribly and tells him that he'll be in his corner for the match. He takes off his ScarfOfAsskicking and puts it around Ricardo's neck, says that a friend of his needs to arrive for a match "in style", ''then flips Ricardo the keys to his CoolCar so he can borrow it for his entrance.'' The pep talk seems to put an extra bit of fight into Ricardo during the match, as he gets in a fair bit of offense against the Giant, including landing a [[SignatureMove picture-perfect step-up enzuigiri]] at the beginning of a sequence that ends with Big Show [[HopeSpot limping around on a hurt knee.]] Predictably, Show recovers and goes for the knockout punch. Del Rio slides into the ring to Ricardo's rescue and leaves several footprints on Big Show's head before pulling his employee and friend to safety.
