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.
F4WOnline reports that the situation between Alberto Del Rio & WWE is “very acrimonious” & that WWE is trying to tie Del Rio up in a lengthy non-compete clause, similar to the one that Jim Ross had that recently expired. Del Rio has been making appearances in Mexico under the Alberto Del Rio name that WWE owns, for Sunday’s AAA TripleMania XXII event.
DEl Rio will be appearing at Sunday’s AAA TripleMania XXII show as a special guest. WWE does not want him appearing for AAA shows on the El Rey Network, nor do they want him appearing for TNA.
