The current NXT champion, Andrade “Cien” Almas, revealed to a Spanish-language media outlet, Milenio.com, that not long ago, he wanted out of his WWE contract.
“When I came to WWE I thought about going back because of the lack of opportunities and criticism but I talked to Alberto Del Rio and he told me to stand up for my chance and I kept fighting for what I wanted.”
Almas’ comments are consistent with statements Del Rio made last September:
“I talked to my good friend Manny [Andrade Almas] and poor guy, he wants to come back. Unfortunately, when you go into that company you have to abide by their rules. That’s just how it is,” Del Rios said.
Alberto Del Rio and WWE
Alberto Del Rio currently spends his time wrestling in Mexico and for Impact Wrestling. There have been rumors of contract discussions between Del Rios and WWE, however.
Two weeks ago, it was reported Del Rios was at WWE headquarters to shoot footage for a Rey Mysterio project. It was also reported he met with Vince McMahon, who has always been a fan of his.
