Report: The Latest On Alberto Del Rio's WWE Status
What is the latest on Alberto Del Rio and WWE following the acquisition of AAA last month?
When WWE announced last month during WrestleMania 41 weekend that it had acquired the Mexican wrestling promotion AAA, all eyes shifted to current AAA Mega Champion Alberto El Patron (Alberto Del Rio), who the company has had less than a positive relationship with in recent years. So much so, it was reported multiple times that WWE had no interest in working with Del Rio ever again.

Despite that, rumors persisted following the acquisition that Del Rio had signed a deal with WWE to remain with AAA. But we still don't know if that's entirely accurate.
In an update on the situation from Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select), one source has informed him that 'it's hard to believe that it's an accident or coincidence' that Alberto is currently scheduled to defend the AAA Mega Championship against El Hijo del Vikingo one week before WWE and AAA's Worlds Collide event.
With another source stating the following regarding Del Rio's potential WWE status:
'Even if they keep Del Rio in the company, that belt is almost surely coming off of him.'

While Vikingo is scheduled to be a big part of the partnership going forward, Del Rio's status for Worlds Collide remains uncertain.
