Obviously considering the source here folks, please take this with a grain of salt.
With that being said, TNA does have a long history of making former WWE stars champion as soon as they sign with the company.
Officials from TNA Wrestling reportedly attempted to contact Alberto Del Rio immediately after WWE announced his release due to unprofessional conduct and an altercation with an employee on Thursday, according to Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer on the F4WOnline.com message board. He added that if he joins the company, he will be immediately crowned TNA World Heavyweight Champion.
Meltzer has since said that Del Rio likely has a ninety-day no-compete clause, effectively ruling out a move to TNA in the near future.
