WWE-TNA News: Alberto Del Rio Becomes New World Heavyweight Champion

After names like Matt Hardy, Drew Galloway, Mike Bennett & Maria Kanellis decided to leave the Impact wrestling promotion, there’s a big void on the roster. A speculation was going on for quite a few weeks now suggesting that Alberto Del Rio is being contacted by the show runners to sign with them.
Making the rumors true, Del Rio showed up on Impact Wrestling tapings, last night. He received a warm welcome from the crowd and challenged the reigning champion, Lashley for his world championship. The challenge was accepted and a title match took place in the main event of the night.

Del Rio who showed up with the name Alberto El Patron was declared the winner and the new World heavyweight champion for the Impact wrestling promotion after the match. The bout ended with some serious controversy and a third referee was called to decide the true winner. The former champion left the arena with “Si, Si, Si” chants all echoing through it.

The promotion wanted to get back Del Rio ever since he left WWE but the deal never came to fruition, till now because the Mexican Aristocrat was demanding more money from them. After the deal was finalized, he will be treated as a top guy in the promotion.

As reported by PWInsider.com, he will be given a major push, going forward to fill up the voids of the Hardy Boyz. This is the reason why he was handed the championship, on the very first day in the promotion. He could not have asked for a better debut, ever.
His girlfriend, Paige was also spotted on the taping with him. WWE does not like superstars under their contract appearing for a rival promotion like Impact wrestling. Hence, she can suffer some serious consequences, later.
