As noted recently, there have been negotiations ongoing between Bellator MMA officials and former WWE Superstar Alberto Del Rio (aka Alberto El Patron). It appears that Del Rio will definitely be making a return to the MMA world, as there is apparently another MMA company that is bidding for his services as well. It’s expected that Del Rio will take the better money offer.
As far as his upcoming work in Ring Of Honor, it’s being said that Del Rio specifically asked to work a match with ACH because he thinks he is a really talented performer, and because he’s from San Antonio. Del Rio also reportedly asked to work matches against Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly.
ROH is reportedly looking to book a Del Rio vs. Jay Lethal match for their pay-per-view event on March 1st.
