Impact Wrestling issued a statement on Saturday evening confirming the official departure of Alberto El Patron (former WWE star Alberto Del Rio) from the company.

The official statement reads:

“IMPACT Wrestling announced today that it has terminated its agreement with Alberto El Patron, effective immediately.”

This announcement comes just 24 hours after Patron reportedly no-showed last night’s Impact vs. Lucha Underground special that aired live on Twitch.

Patron had been scheduled to face Austin Aries for the Impact World Championship in the main event of the Redemption PPV on April 22. That match is now off.

It was reported earlier this month that Patron was at WWE Headquarters in Stamford to film footage for an upcoming project involving Rey Mysterio. Patron’s deal with Impact was already scheduled to expire in April. He did take part in a press conference on Friday in New Orleans to promote the Redemption PPV, but apparently something changed quick.

Alberto El Patron (Del Rio) Met With Vince McMahon At WWE HQ

Impact Wrestling star Alberto El Patron (Alberto Del Rio) was at WWE headquarters in Stamford, CT last week, according to PWInsider. Patron was there to film interview material for a future project on Rey Mysterio but he also met with Vince McMahon while there.

There has been talk within WWE of Vince being very interested in Patron returning to the company, even before last week’s visit. Vince has always been high on Alberto as a character and a performer.

Alberto, a former WWE Champion, last worked for WWE in September 2016. His current deal with Impact is set to expire in April but company officials have been working to negotiate a new deal. There’s hope that Alberto, would likely be the highest paid talent in Impact, will sign a new contract after weekend talks with Impact officials were said to be positive. Patron is scheduled to face Impact World Champion Austin Aries at the April 22nd Redemption pay-per-view.

When Is Alberto El Patron Returning To Impact?

On last night’s episode of Impact it was announced Alberto El Patron will be returning at Bound for Glory on November 5. Back in July he was indefinitely suspended from the company and then in August, Alberto was stripped of the GFW Championship after an altercation with his fiance and WWE Superstar, Paige, at the Orlando International Airport. The latest tapings (which took place in August) run all the way up until Bound for Glory and Alberto was not included in that set.

Breaking News: Alberto El Patron Stripped Of GFW World Heavyweight Championship

Alberto El Patron has been stripped of the GFW World Heavyweight Championship, the company announced in a statement on Monday. You can read the statement below:

GFW has concluded its internal consideration of the events surrounding the suspension of Alberto El Patron. While it is apparent that initial reports unfairly characterized El Patron’s involvement in the incident in the Orlando airport, we are nonetheless disappointed with the manner in which he dealt with this situation; we expect more decorum from all on the GFW roster, especially the World Champion.We have communicated with El Patron our decision to strip him of his championship title. No decision has been taken as to the date on which he will be reinstated to the roster, the conditions of which are a private matter between the company and El Patron.

Police confirmed that El Patron was detained following a domestic incident at the Orlando International Airport on July 9, 2017. He was not arrested and no charges were filed at the time.

TMZ reported Patron allegedly roughed up a female companion but did not mention his girlfriend Paige by name. There has been no indication that Patron got physical. In response, Paige tweeted this:

“WE got the cops involved. I’m crying cuz I found out bad fam news & a lady tries take a pic. She gets angry throws a drink on @PrideOfMexico,” tweeted Paige. “Please leave us alone. That’s it.”

Paige’s tweet was highly disputed by eyewitness accounts and reports that followed the incident. TMZ obtained audio from the incident where Alberto is heard telling someone, possibly Paige, to “call the cops.” Paige is heard crying and yelling, “Just stay out of my life. Leave me the f-ck alone. I’m trying to get away from you!”

A witness claimed El Patron and Paige were arguing and Patron told Paige he was pressing charges against her. A witness told Heavy.com that the couple were arguing on the airport tram system, with Paige screaming at El Patron that he had been doing cocaine for “two days straight” and she called him abusive. There were also claims El Patron smelled like alcohol.

GFW announced on July 12, 2017 that El Patron was suspended indefinitely. Over the course of the investigation, authorities determined Paige could face charges but none have been filed at press time. Patron has not worked for GFW since his suspension.

Both Paige and El Patron addressed the incident during a radio interview on Busted Open with Bully Ray and Dave Lagreca earlier this month. Each claimed they planned to return to work soon, with Paige going back to WWE and El Patron to GFW. Patron claimed a date for his return had been set but GFW clarified he was still suspended.

Paige And Alberto El Patron Address Airport Incident On SiriusXM (AUDIO)

airport incident alberto el patron del rio paige siriusxm

The airport incident between Paige and Alberto El Patron was nothing more than a quick argument that was blown out of proportion by “the media” — this according to the couple themselves.

Alberto and Paige took part in an interview Thursday with Busted Open on SiriusXM, their first interview since the incident occurred, and addressed the entire ordeal for thirty minutes.

Paige admitted they shouldn’t have been arguing in public, but Patron was much more unabashed by the situation and said he wasn’t gonna apologize because they were just being regular people.

The couple then both claimed that “ninety percent” of the reports that came out were false.

As for Paige’s family using social media to beg for help in getting her away from Alberto, the WWE star says everything is good with them now and claims they were just worried about things they had seen online — even though her brothers seemed to tell a different story.

In regards to Patron’s GFW suspension, the wrestler said he expects to return to work soon.

Alberto El Patron’s attorney, Keith McMahon, released the police case report for the altercation between Alberto El Patron and Paige at the Orlando airport earlier this month. The report lists Alberto as the victim and the weapon being “Hands/Fist/Feet.”

“This last month was marked false reports by ‘untrained reporters’ not doing their due diligence,” McMahon wrote. “Now the official report stating what actually happened.

“I would like to thank everyone that supported my clients never read into false reports posted on the internet by reporters trying to earn a buck by defaming and hurting my clients and their families, including Alberto’s 3 innocent children. As you can see there was no alcohol or drugs and no arrests. NO physical harm to one another, just an argument between a couple that others exploited. Thank you to everyone who believed in them. God bless you all.”

As noted, the Florida state attorney’s office is still determining whether to charge Paige with battery. I asked Dutch Mantel confirmed to WrestlingINC’s Raj Giri  that El Patron is still suspended pending the conclusion of their own internal investigation.
