Alberto Del Rio Says Andrade Almas Wants To Leave WWE NXT, Talks WWE Wellness Violation, His Future
- Updated: September 12, 2016
As seen above, former WWE Superstar Alberto Del Rio just spoke with Mas Lucha in Mexico about his WWE departure, what the future holds and more. Big thanks to @LIGERFEVER for the following highlights:
WWE published an announcement that you were suspended for 30 days over a wellness violation. Was this a determining factor in your decision?
Of course it was. It was that and along with many more tings that made me not want to be there. But there are rules. Their wellness program is one of their rules. I can’t call it absurd because when you work for them, you sign a contract. You know that you are subject to their terms. I don’t think it’s fair because there is a big difference in people using medication to obtain better… (he wants to say performance enhancing) physical performance. But when it is like in my case, a testosterone replacement, where I am a 40 year old man and it is a medical matter that I have proof of from my doctors. I don’t think it is something fair. But I come back to the same thing. It’s their wellness policy and you have to abide to it. So yeah that was part of it, but not all of it. There were many reasons. But it did help me to make the decision to say, “Goodbye, see you later. I don’t want to be in this company.”
And as I’m leaving in two years, that was my last time with this company. Now all that’s left is to do what’s here for me in Mexico.
Physically you’ve looked incredible. You’ve been training, going to the gym and doing a lot of exercise. Now you are coming here in this condition. Who is going to stop Alberto El Patron now in this next phase?
Thank you very much. What happened is that I got together with my nutritionist Alberto Sevilla who implemented and helped me carry out a nutrition plan and a training regimen. As a group effort, my training and with his instruction, he helped bring me to the best physical condition of my life. It’s funny because I’m older, I’m 39 and I look better than when I was 20. Well then, I come back the same way I looked while I was in WWE, or even better. Nobody here will be able to tell me about that wellness policy rubbish. (Big laugh) Anyways, I’m very content that I’ll be able to do what …
