WWE has no plans to work with Alberto Del Rio (Patreon)

This past month seemed to be time for the annual "Alberto Del Rio says he's going back to WWE" headlines, so Fightful poked around about the situation.

When asking sources within WWE, they'd heard of no recent talks between Del Rio and the company. One source was quite frank with Fightful and said "could you imagine if we let go of some of the people we did, only to bring him in? There's no fucking way that happens." The last time Fightful asked WWE about Del Rio possibly returning when he fueled those rumors, we had several sources indicate that the company would not put Paige in the position to ever have to be around him for any reason if they could help it.

Del Rio is at odds with Combate Americas, which was a major revenue stream for him at one point. However, in speaking with promoters, there's no interest in booking him across the board as far as top American companies are concerned.
