Former WWE Superstar Alberto Del Rio has been cleared to compete for Mexico’s AAA promotion and will make his return on September 14th.
Del Rio appeared with AAA officials and wrestlers for a Ring & Rockstars 3 press conference on Tuesday at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya to promote a September 14th event at the venue.
Wrestling as El Patron, he will team with Myzteziz (formerly Sin Cara in WWE) and La Parka in a match against Texano Jr., Averno and El Hijo del Perro Arguayo.
Here’s a photo of Del Rio from the Tuesday press event hyping the 9/14 show in Mexico:
WWE was reportedly attempting to enforce a no-compete clause that would have prevented Del Rio from wrestling elsewhere for the forseable future, but that appears to have been dismissed.
The following is a (translated) quote from Del Rio from the press conference, courtesy of SuperLuchas.net:
“It is unconstitutional that you can not work … thanks to lawyers and support of AAA, I can fight without any problems.”
