Alberto Del Rio Confident on a Final WWE Run!

Alberto Del Rio Confident on a Final WWE Run!

Alberto El Patron, formerly Alberto Del Rio in WWE, was recently interviewed by The Roman Show where among other subjects, he discussed a potential return to the company, as well as who he wants his final opponent to be.

Del Rio made his WWE debut on August 20, 2010 on an episode of SmackDown, beating Rey Mysterio in his debut match, and it seems the two may be destined to duke it out again. When asked who he would like to wrestle as his final opponent before he retires, Alberto responded with:

“Top of my head is Rey Mysterio Jr. He is one of my best friends, fantastic wrestler and a real life legend. He would be the perfect person to do a world tour to say goodbye. I would like to wrestle some guys again like Dolph Ziggler, Ken Anderson and many others in the business.”

It would be a fitting end to the career of Del Rio to have his final match be against the same opponent he debuted with, but with Mysterio heavily rumored to be heading back to WWE, chances are Alberto may need to head in the same direction.

“I have always stayed the same because I have a good relationship with Vince McMahon. I am sure I’ll be back one day before I decide to retire. I’ll return to have a final run. Maybe I’ll be able to work with all those wrestlers I used to work with in that company.”

If this is all to be believed, then we may very well end up seeing ‘The Mexican Aristocrat’ back in the company as soon as next year.
