After WWE acquired the Mexican wrestling company AAA, fans quickly started wondering if Alberto Del Rio might come back to WWE. While theres no sign that will happen, Mr. Iguana has now addressed Del Rio potentially returning to WWE.
While speaking to Bill Apter, Mr. Iguana was asked whether fans might see Alberto Del Rio back in WWE again, especially now that AAA and WWE have a strong working relationship.
Mr. Iguana admitted that he really doesnt know. He pointed out that Alberto Del Rio was in WWE before, recalling how he himself wrestled John Cena while Del Rio faced Randy Orton.
As for Del Rios current status, Iguana explained that in Mexico, particularly in AAA, Alberto is drawing huge reactions from the crowd. Originally a major heel, hes now getting cheered and turning into a big babyface, which shows how unpredictable Lucha Libre can be.
Iguana added that this is the magic of Lucha Libre since you cant control the crowd because they decide what they want to see. As much as fans might love a wrestler one day, things can change, and sometimes a new face like him gets a huge reaction. Thats when promoters start to notice and realize a wrestler is making a big impression.
This comes after we have previously reported that WWE has no plans to bring back Alberto Del Rio and that this stance is consistent across all departments within WWE. Del Rio has not been contacted and is not being considered for any future creative or talent-related plans. Therefore, fans will just have to accept Del Rio might never return, especially since even Mr. Iguana doesnt know if that will happen now.
