Del Rio will be known as Alberto El Patron in ROH.
Last night at AAA’s Guerra de Titanes event “El Patron” Alberto Del Rio won the AAA World Title. Del Rio became the first wrestler to hold the CMLL, WWE and AAA World Heavyweight Titles. Below is a photo and tweet from Lucha Libre AAA after his win:

F4WOnline reports that WWE has informed AAA that Alberto Del Rio (El Patron) will not be able to wrestle for them this Sunday at TripleMania XXII. WWE has locked up Del Rio in a long non-compete clause. Del Rio can’t wrestle in the US for one year, probably because he was found to have breached his deal.
At a press conference yesterday in Mexico with AAA President Joaquin Rolden, Alberto Del Rio said he would no longer be using the Del Rio name because it is owned by WWE. He revealed that his new ring name is El Patron. He acknowledged that he can’t wrestle for AAA for 90 days but his lawyers are working on finding a way that he could wrestle at AAA’s TripleMania XXII event this Sunday. He has challenged El Texano Jr. for the AAA Mega Heavyweight Title.
