Rey Mysterio Drops Bombshell Promise About Alberto Del Rio’s WWE Return

Wrestling fans, buckle up. Rey Mysterio just threw the wrestling world into complete chaos with one simple statement that has everyone talking. During AAA TripleMania 33, when Mexican fans started chanting for Alberto El Patron (better known to WWE fans as Alberto Del Rio), Mysterio didn’t just acknowledge the crowd – he made them a promise that could change everything.

Mysterio’s Shocking Response to Alberto Chants

Picture this: You’re Rey Mysterio, cutting a promo in front of thousands of passionate Mexican wrestling fans, and suddenly the entire arena erupts with chants for Alberto Del Rio. Most wrestlers would probably deflect or ignore it. Not Rey Mysterio. The legendary masked luchador looked straight at the crowd and declared, “I’ll bring him, wait on me.”

Now, that’s either the most confident statement we’ve heard in wrestling this year, or Mysterio just wrote a check his connections can’t cash. Either way, the wrestling internet went absolutely bonkers, and for good reason.

The timing couldn’t be more intriguing. Del Rio wasn’t even at the event – he’d been banished from AAA after losing a “Loser Leaves AAA” match just a month prior. Yet here were thousands of fans chanting his name like he was some sort of wrestling messiah. The irony? This is the same guy who left WWE on pretty terrible terms not once, but twice.

Alberto Del Rio’s Complicated WWE Legacy

Let’s be real here – Alberto Del Rio’s WWE career reads like a soap opera written by someone who really enjoys dramatic exits. The man was a legitimate main eventer, holding the WWE Championship twice and the World Heavyweight Championship twice as well. That’s four world title runs, folks. Add in a Money in the Bank briefcase, a Royal Rumble victory, and two US Championship reigns, and you’ve got yourself a resume that most wrestlers would kill for.

But here’s where it gets messy. Del Rio left WWE in 2014, came back in 2015, and then left again in 2016. The second departure was particularly ugly, with reports of backstage drama and creative differences. Since then, WWE has basically treated him like he doesn’t exist. When they acquired a controlling stake in AAA, they literally made him drop the AAA Mega Championship to distance themselves from him.

So when Mysterio promises to bring him back, it’s like promising to resurrect a career that WWE seemingly buried six feet under.

The Fan Factor That Changes Everything

Here’s what makes this whole situation absolutely fascinating: the fans don’t care about backstage politics. At TripleMania 33, they chanted for Alberto throughout the night. At a recent WWE live event in Mexico City, fans rallied behind El Patron even though he wasn’t on the card. The man who was once one of WWE’s biggest heels has somehow transformed into a fan favorite who gets massive pops just from crowd chants.

This fan support isn’t just polite applause – we’re talking about thunderous, arena-shaking chants that interrupt other wrestlers’ promos. That’s the kind of organic crowd reaction that wrestling promotions dream about, and WWE would be foolish to completely ignore it.

Can Mysterio Actually Deliver on His Promise?

Now comes the million-dollar question: Can Rey Mysterio actually make this happen? The man has legendary status in WWE and Mexico, but bringing back Alberto Del Rio would require navigating some seriously choppy political waters within WWE’s corporate structure.

Recent reports suggest that WWE has zero plans to bring Del Rio back, and frankly, that makes perfect sense from a business standpoint. Why risk the potential drama when you’ve got a roster full of talent who don’t come with complicated histories?

But here’s where it gets interesting – an AAA executive recently claimed that “many in WWE” want Alberto El Patron to return. If that’s true, maybe Mysterio isn’t just blowing smoke. Maybe he actually has insider knowledge about backstage sentiment that we don’t.

What This Means for WWE’s Future

Whether Mysterio can deliver or not, this whole situation highlights something important about WWE’s relationship with Mexican wrestling culture. The company has been making serious moves to expand their presence in Mexico, and ignoring what Mexican fans clearly want might not be the smartest long-term strategy.

Del Rio represents something significant to Mexican wrestling fans – he was one of the few Mexican wrestlers to achieve main event status in WWE during his era. His absence creates a void that current Mexican wrestlers in WWE are still working to fill.

The bottom line? Rey Mysterio just made one heck of a promise to wrestling fans, and now everyone’s watching to see if he can actually pull it off. Given WWE’s current stance on Del Rio, it seems like a long shot. But in professional wrestling, stranger things have happened.

One thing’s for sure – if Mysterio somehow manages to bring Alberto Del Rio back to WWE, it’ll be one of the most surprising comebacks in recent wrestling history. And if he can’t? Well, he’ll have some very disappointed Mexican wrestling fans to answer to.
