Alberto Del Rio Interested In Signing With AEW, Says He Deserves To Sign With The Company

Alberto Del Rio may be on his way to All Elite Wrestling if he has anything to say about it.

Alberto has been in the pro wrestling industry for almost two decades now and with his litany of title wins in the WWE, he is well decorated throughout his career. Del Rio is currently without a home in professional wrestling as he remains unsigned by all major promotions.

Del Rio sat down for an interview with Steve Fall for NBC Sports Boston. Del Rio discussed a number of topics in the interview. He also discussed if All Elite Wrestling has reached out to him while addressing his interest in signing with the promotion.

I would be interested in going to AEW or any major company as as we were saying a few minutes back 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. They (AEW)….. I haven’t talked to any anyone in that company. I have talked to people in from other companies, but not from 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 workin for WWE. I know all the others and we always got along with Daniel Bryan, Jack Swagger and many others from the indy circuit.

Time will tell if Del Rio will end up in AEW, but with his history of controversy, it is unlikely AEW president Tony Khan will ever bring Del Rio into the fold. What do you think? Should Tony Khan be trying to sign Alberto Del Rio? Let us know in the comment section and on our social media pages.
