Alberto Del Rio Signs For WCPW
Will appear at the Loaded tapings in Newcastle on Thursday.
Mere hours after coming to terms on his release from WWE, it has been sensationally revealed that Alberto El Patron, the former Alberto Del Rio, is coming to WCPW.
Fans don’t have to wait long to see him; El Patron will be making his WCPW debut in less than one week’s time at the Loaded tapings on September 15 at the O2 Academy Newcastle. Tickets for that event are available at a special one-time-only price of £5, and they are selling fast. Be sure to grab yours quickly before they are sold out from https://shop.whatculture.com
General Manager Adam Pacitti broke the news this evening with the following announcement:
It had been no secret in recent weeks that Del Rio was unhappy with his status in WWE and that he was considering his options. It was reported recently that the former WWE Champion had a break clause in the contract he signed with the company less than a year ago, with speculation rampant about what his next move would be should he opt to activate it.
For WCPW to get him is undoubtedly a huge coup, and adds to an already impressive list of stars who have signed on with the promotion recently, including the likes of Aaron Stevens (Damien Sandow), Kurt Angle, Minoru Suzuki, Bret Hart, Jim Ross, Drew Galloway, and Cody Rhodes.
What El Patron will be doing at Loaded next week is anyone’s guess. Will someone unheralded on the roster try and make a name for themselves by taking him on? Will he aim straight for the top and call out WCPW Champion Joseph Conners? What will he have to say to the Newcastle audience if he is given a live mic and allowed to express himself? It will be fascinating to find out.
WCPW has a number of live events scheduled over the next month, starting with next week’s Loaded tapings featuring El Patron, plus Drew Galloway, who returns following an impressive debut in August.
WCPW’s sold out iPPV Refuse To Lose follows on October 6, but tickets are still available for the following night’s Loaded tapings on October 7. The group also makes its first foray outside of Newcastle on October 8th at the Silver Blades Arena in Greater Manchester (tickets HERE).
