Alberto Del Rio Claims That Upper Authority In WWE Refused To Sign Him Again

1 years ago By Sports Desk

Alberto Del Rio, once a prominent figure in the world of professional wrestling, has recently made headlines by claiming he was close to a monumental return to WWE. If the whispers and rumors within wrestling circles are to be believed, Del Rio was set to make his WWE comeback until the retirement of none other than Vince McMahon.

For those who might not recall, Alberto Del Rio’s tenure with WWE came to a controversial end in 2014 when he was released from the company. Since then, he has not been seen in the WWE ring. However, wrestling fans and insiders alike were abuzz when speculation arose that Del Rio might be making a return to the company that once positioned him as a top superstar.

Dave Meltzer, a well-regarded wrestling journalist, recently published a report, stating that Del Rio himself claimed after a match on October 5th, that he had been in discussions for a potential WWE return last year. This claim took a dramatic turn when he mentioned that these plans were shelved following Vince McMahon relinquishing his authority within the company.

To provide a clearer perspective on the matter, there are some reports from the senior officials of WWE to ascertain the truth of these assertions. Their response was both immediate and decisive. A senior WWE executive made it clear, saying, “There is absolutely no chance of that happening.”

The statement might come across as stark to many, especially considering Alberto Del Rio’s rich history and accomplishments within WWE. Those who followed his career know that Del Rio was no stranger to the spotlight. His journey in WWE was laden with accolades and championships, a testament to his talent and the faith the company once had in him.

For the uninitiated, Alberto Del Rio’s time in WWE was marked by significant achievements that set him apart from many of his contemporaries. He captured the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship, not once but twice, proving his mettle as one of the company’s top talents. In addition to these prestigious titles, Del Rio made history in 2011 when he won both the Royal Rumble and the Money in the Bank briefcase within the same calendar year. This distinction solidified his place as one of the standout performers of his generation.

Looking back at his career trajectory, Del Rio first burst onto the WWE scene with an aristocratic character, accompanied by his personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez. His entrance, complete with luxury cars, set him apart as someone who enjoyed the finer things in life and was not shy about flaunting them. Over time, his character evolved, but his in-ring prowess remained consistent. He was known for his technical skills, blending traditional wrestling with the lucha libre style from his Mexican heritage.

However, like many careers in the world of professional wrestling, Del Rio’s journey in WWE wasn’t without its share of controversies and challenges. His departure in 2014, amidst circumstances that were less than amicable, led many to believe that a return might never be on the cards. And while the recent rumors might have reignited hope among his fans, the recent statements from WWE’s top brass seem to firmly shut that door.

As wrestling enthusiasts would know, the world of professional wrestling is as much about the stories outside the ring as it is about the action within it. Alberto Del Rio’s claim and the subsequent response from WWE is just another chapter in this ongoing saga, leaving fans intrigued about the next twist or turn.

In conclusion, while the chances of seeing Alberto Del Rio make his grand WWE return might seem slim at the moment, in the world of wrestling, one can never say never. Until then, fans can only reminisce about Del Rio’s memorable matches and moments in WWE, and wonder what could have been if circumstances had unfolded differently.
