It’s been a while since fans have seen former WWE Champion Alberto De Rio compete in the ring, but he has recently shown interest in a return to professional wrestling. Alberto spoke to NBC Sports Boston about the possibility of working with All Elite Wrestling, and he noted that he thinks he deserves to be in a major company.
“I would be interested in going to AEW, or any major company. I deserve to be in a major company. Once it has been proven that I was always telling the truth about those things, I know, I don’t think, I know I deserve to be out there to continue entertaining and to rebuild my legacy in the business that I love. I would love to be in working for any major company.”
Alberto went on to say that he has not talked to anyone in All Elite Wrestling, but he’s friendly with multiple people who work for the company.
“I haven’t talked to anyone in that company. I have talked to people from other companies, but not from AEW. I have really good friends over there, like Phil, CM Punk, and he is one of my friends in the business. And Chris Jericho, he was always nice to me and we always had a good relationship while we were working for WWE. I know all the others, and we always got along with Daniel Bryan, Jack Swagger and many others from the indy circuit.”
