For the past couple of days, a rumor surfaced on the internet suggesting that Alberto Del Rio might be returning to the WWE, real soon.
But that may not be the case as sources suggested there’s no base to the news. It was claimed by the former WWE Champion himself about a potential comeback to the company that gave him fame.

But Fightful Select reported that they reached out to the WWE after Alberto Del Rio said he’s close to returning in 2020. A source within the company called this claim “bullsh*t.”

The report also claimed that his ex-girlfriend Paige is more valuable to be around the brand than anything the Mexican Aristocrat could ever do. These two had a bitter relationship a few years ago causing a lot of troubles.
Whereas Paige ended up having suspensions on two different occasions, Alberto Del Rio eventually left the company after a series of bad incidents. He even went on a rant about the WWE and Triple H using cuss words over on social media.
So it’s quite obvious that WWE won’t be looking forward to making him come back to the scene and that too at a time when he is close to announcing retirement. Here’s more from the source,
“One outright exclaimed “bullshit!” as a response to that.

Another doubled down on a statement they gave us last year, saying “If Paige does nothing for WWE, she’s more valuable to have around than anything he could do,” and saying the company wouldn’t risk making her uncomfortable by having him around at this point, though their current relationship, friendship, or terms aren’t known.”
El Patron aka Alberto Del Rio recently appeared on Nos Cayó La Noche in Mexico, where he revealed to be in recent talks with WWE. He believed that a deal between the two parties could be made through mid-2020,
“We have rebuilt the bridge. On their part, they were wrong on some decisions and I also did some things wrong on my part. I am hoping that we can reach an agreement sometime this year or by the middle of this year I’ll be back there.” (transcription courtesy wrestlingINC.com)
The former WWE Champion appeared last in WWE during the summer of 2016. He reportedly left in an unhappy state due to his position in the company and the way the creative team was using him.
Following this departure, Alberto Del Rio claimed on different occasions to be back in talking terms with the company including for the past couple of years. However, it was noted by several sources that a return seems unlikely at least for now given the bad record book he has with the WWE.
