Since his return at the Hell In A Cell pay-per-view last October, Alberto Del Rio has been undermined by the WWE creative team.

Receiving a red hot reception from the crowd upon his comeback, Del Rio then defeated John Cena to win the United States Title. Ever since, he has been consistently let down by the booking.

Dropping the title to Kalisto, he also became part of the ill-fated League Of Nations alongside Sheamus, 'King' Barrett and Rusev. That experiment has now ended, leaving the Mexican without much of a place at the moment. The time is right to fully get behind him.

Without being crass, Alberto Del Rio is the perfect tool WWE can use to appeal to the Latino market. Like Eddie Guerrero before him, he is the kind of performer those of that heritage can really identify with.

Turning Del Rio babyface and letting him speak from the heart about his love for Mexico and the entire Latin population could turn him into a huge star.

Should WWE then book shows in those markets, they could expect wads of cash to fly in.
