The rumor mill is not giving pleasant news for the Mexican fans, as of now. It was earlier when reports surfaced about the departure of Alberto Del Rio from the WWE. The Mexican aristocrat is not too happy with his current status with WWE. With both parties not coming into the same page, Del Rio is not looking to extend his contract. His current stint with WWE ends in October and he is willing to leave, after that.
New reports now suggest that Del Rio re-signed with WWE in last year’s September with a clause that he can quit the company even before the contract gets expired. The former WWE World Heavyweight champion has nothing to do with his monetary contract with WWE but is frustrated with the terrible bad booking, as reports from allwrestlingnews.com. He is given a jobber role, as of now which is not suited with a superstar like him. We can only hope that the brand split will make things go easier between him and the company.
Another report for his frustrations has been disclosed regarding his issue with WWE for Paige. He is in a relationship with the former WWE Divas champion, Paige for a couple of months now. But, in the WWE Draft, they got separated in two different brands. Del Rio is part of Smackdown Live whereas Paige was drafted on Monday Night Raw. Rumors also had that the couple broke up over the issue until Paige confirmed on Twitter that they are still going strong.
Alberto Del Rio returned to WWE last year in the Hell in a Cell PPV but before signing the contract, he was approached by TNA, too. But, he instead chose WWE over the monetary issues. In an interview, he told that he still has four or five years wrestling left in him and wants to capture the WWE World championship once more before leaving the company. He also intended to hold the Intercontinental championship, once and finish his career, here in the biggest wrestling promotion in the world.
