Alberto Del Rio is officially gone from WWE. The company website posted a message on Friday stating that WWE and Jose Rodriguez (Alberto Del Rio) have mutually agreed upon the terms of his release as of today, September 9, 2016.
While the terms of his release were “mutually agreed upon” as of today, Del Rio’s legal representatives reportedly informed WWE several months ago that he would be exercising a clause in his contract allowing him to opt-out after a year.
Alberto Del Rio will be holding a press conference in Mexico City later today to address his WWE wellness policy violation and departure from the company.
The former WWE Champion tweeted the following about the situation:
My business relationship with @WWE has come to an end in good terms…thanks for the opportunities they gave me.
Termine mi relación con WWE— Alberto El Patron (@PrideOfMexico) September 9, 2016

Former WWE writer Andrew Goldstein points out that Alberto Del Rio is just the latest in a long line of big name stars who have recently departed the company.
Another disgruntled talent, at the top of their game gone from #WWE. Cody, Wade, Sandow, Drew, Ryback, now ADR. Alarming trend.
