Alberto Del Rio claims he is returning to WWE; Company deny rumours

Alberto Del Rio has shockingly claimed that he is in talks to return to WWE this year. The former WWE Champion explained that he is hoping to reach an agreement with the company soon and could make his shock comeback later this year.

“We have been in communication. 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.” [H/T WrestlingNews]

WWE sources, however, have told Fightful that there is no such agreement in place. They have straight out denied that Del Rio is close to returning to the WWE and that there is no truth in the statements made by the former champion.

Del Rio has already had two stints in the company, neither of which ended positively. He was first released in 2014 for unprofessional conduct after hitting a member of the backstage staff. He was brought back in 2015 but did not last long and was released in 2016.
