When Alberto Del Rio first joined WWE it was clear that Vince McMahon saw big things in his future as Alberto was immediately pushed to the top of the card. Del Rio went on to win the WWE Championship and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but it’s been a while since fans have seen him on WWE programming.
Alberto Del Rio’s last run with WWE ended in 2016, and even though he had the support of Vince McMahon for a time the former champion recently told Pro Wrestling Defined that it’s been years since they last spoke.
“Oh, it’s been years. In WWE, that’s the way things work. Like, once you leave the company, nobody talks to you. Nobody. Nobody! Like, it doesn’t matter. Once you leave, you leave and I am not saying this is what they do, but I think that’s what they do. They tell people not to contact outsiders. I think. I’m not saying that’s a proven fact.
I’m just, that’s what I think, or it’s just them not wanting to contact the ones that decided to leave the company fearing any beef with the company or any heat as we say in the pro wrestling business. But, yeah, that’s why I haven’t talked to Vince in quite some time.”
Alberto Del Rio’s next move isn’t clear at this time, but he did recently tease that he had a meeting with a “great company.”
