Controversial Former WWE Star Says He Is Returning To The Company

That would be a surprise. There have been a lot of wrestlers in WWE over the years and some of them don’t leave the biggest impression. Some certainly do, though not all oft hem are the most positive. You will see some wrestlers who pop up, make a bit of noise, and then fall out of favor with the company in a huge way. One such wrestler is claiming that he is getting another chance.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio has been telling people that he will be returning to the company following his current legal issues. Del Rio, 44, is currently set to stand trial on October 25 for sexual assault. During his two stints in WWE, he is a former four time World Champion, as well as winning the Royal Rumble and Money in the Bank. There is no word on WWE having any interest in bringing Del Rio back.

You might need to get to know him again. Check out some of Del Rio’s time in WWE:

Alberto Del Rio's WWE Debut

John Cena vs. Alberto Del Rio - United States Championship Match: Raw, December 28, 2015

Alberto Del Rio vs. Big Show - World Heavyweight Title Match: SmackDown, Jan. 11, 2013

Opinion: I will be putting this one firmly in the category of “I’ll believe it when I see it” as I cannot imagine Del Rio returning to WWE under almost any circumstances. His last stint with the company did not go so well and he has a lot of baggage that comes with him. This seems rather unlikely and I just can’t picture WWE bringing Del Rio back, certainly not at this point.

Do you think Del Rio will be back in WWE? Do you want him back? Let us know in the comments below.
