5 former Superstars who could return to WWE this year

#3 Alberto Del Rio

Alberto Del Rio may be on his way back to WWE

While rumours had been rife of a Del Rio return recently, those seem to have slightly cooled - although Rey Mysterio seemingly ruling out a return by signing for another promotion may indeed urge WWE to step up their plans, if they have any, to sign this former WWE Champion.

Both of Del Rio's stints with WWE have ended in controversy, being fired first time round for slapping a backstage employee who allegedly made a racist comment and then leaving the company rather than sitting out a suspension for a wellness policy violation, but Vince McMahon is said to be a big fan of the former United States Champion.

Del Rio, now known as Alberto El Patron, has even visited WWE headquarters recently and it seems like he could be on his way back on a permanent basis later this year.
