Roman Reigns has reportedly expressed interest in seeing Alberto Del Rio return to <a href="https://cynicaltimes.org/category/wrestling-news/wwe/”>WWE, stirring recent buzz about a potential comeback. This development gained attention last week, as Reigns is said to be among the top WWE talents advocating for Del Rio to be brought back into the company’s fold.
Backstage Support and Perspectives on Del Rio’s Return
In an interview with Lucha Libre Online, commentator Hugo Savinovich revealed that several prominent wrestlers, including Reigns, believe Alberto Del Rio deserves another chance in WWE. According to Savinovich, many backstage members are eager to see Del Rio involved again, expressing optimism that working alongside him could be beneficial at this point in his career.
Potential WWE-AAA Collaboration Could Facilitate Comeback
On the Wrestling Time Machine show, journalist Bill Apter discussed how WWE’s management under TKO might be inclined to bring Del Rio back if lucrative matchups are possible. Apter highlighted the ongoing partnership between WWE and the Mexican promotion AAA, suggesting that this alliance could open doors for Del Rio’s reappearance in significant bouts.
“If the WWE (and) TKO smells dollar signs, he will be back. I can guarantee it. You know, there were tons of guys, even back when Vince McMahon ran the company, you said they’ll never bring him back again. I bet you down the road, they’ll even bring Vince McMahon back again,” Apter said. “With the relationship with AAA right now, I don’t know what the issue was with Alberto Del Rio and WWE. I have a feeling, I don’t know this for a fact, through my WWE contacts, that things are trying to be worked out.”

Del Rio’s Career Since WWE and What Lies Ahead
Alberto Del Rio last appeared on WWE programming in 2016, competing in a singles match against John Cena on SmackDown on August 16, where he was defeated. Since departing WWE, Del Rio has been active on the independent wrestling scene and has had notable stints with Impact Wrestling (formerly TNA) and AAA.
Given the ongoing discussions and backstage support, Del Rio‘s potential re-engagement with WWE could mark a significant development for the company’s roster, particularly as it explores new partnerships and revenue opportunities. The buzz surrounding the comeback highlights how WWE’s top stars like Roman Reigns could influence talent decisions moving forward.
