While it has to be said that WWE has had a lot of controversial wrestlers over the years, one of the more controversial on that list is former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio.
Del Rio is currently set to stand trial charged with aggravated kidnapping and sexual assault on October 25, but according to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, he has been telling people he plans to return to WWE once his legal issues are resolved.

While I don’t believe this at all, but Alberto El Patron is telling people that he’s going to WWE when his legal situation regarding the alleged assault on an ex-girlfriend in San Antonio is cleared up. It would actually shock me if WWE would use him, not that anything is impossible and WWE could get away with it while any other U.S. company would be excoriated for it, but I don’t think that’s a direction that makes any sense for them at this point.
While WWE has used controversial stars in the past, the company appears to be far more PR conscious in the modern era, and so may be less willing to work with Del Rio.
