1. How Long Before Alberto Del Rio Is WWE Champion?
Asked by @EmmmetS There's a good chance WWE will give him a run with the main belt in 2016. Simply put, they need to recuperate the $1.4 million they are spending on him. The best way to do that is to have him in main events. Also, WWE are keen to appeal to the Hispanic market, so it could be that Del Rio gets the WWE Title in the same kind of way that Eddie Guerrero had it in 2004. Most main event stars get a one million dollar guarantee, so Del Rio's deal does elevate him into being one of the top earners. His booking will reflect that. The good thing about his character, it can work as either a face or a heel. So he's definitely going places, look out for him being a contender and possible champion at some point next year.
