Backstage Update on Alberto Del Rio’s WWE Status Following Suspension

August 30, 2016

As noted, WWE star Alberto Del Rio is currently serving a 30 day suspension for his first violation of WWE’s company Wellness Policy.

On the most recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, host Dave Meltzer has noted Del Rio has been pulled from all upcoming WWE events, including events which are taking place following the end of Del Rio’s suspension.

As we have been reporting the past few weeks, Del Rio apparently had an out clause in his contract which might allow him to leave WWE in September, possibly prior to the end of his 30 day suspension.

Del Rio was suspended back on August 17th, along with his real life girlfriend and WWE star Paige.
