The romantic relationship between Alberto Del Rio and Saraya was very controversial among fans and their peers due to the major age gap and possible abuse between the two. Now the former is giving his thoughts on the latter’s new gig with All Elite Wrestling.
Del Rio recently appeared on The Wrassingh Show and gave his opinions on his ex-fiancée Saraya joining AEW. He was asked if he would still like to join AEW now that she’s there.
“That’s not up to me,” Del Rio said of possibly joining AEW. “It’s just like the WWE, it’s their decision. Everybody knows the truth, I already talked about it as well and you know, I said it – ‘Don’t put my name an your lips again because if you do, I am gonna expose you for what you are.’ I have no intentions on doing that,
I have no intentions on entertaining the internet again. I am pretty sure she doesn’t want to do that because we both have a lot of things to lose. She’s working, I’m happy that she’s working, I am happy that she moved on with her life and I do too.”
Del Rio warned Saraya to keep their dysfunctional relationship out of interviews. He also praised her as being one of the best in the ring.
“You know, I am working for big corporations, good business, I am doing well, I have no interest in affecting anyone’s life but as I mentioned months ago, ‘If you dare. You or your family dare to mess up with me again, I will put all those videos and no, I am not talking about private or nasty videos,” he said. “No, No.. the videos of you! Being you! And all the police reports and all that stuff that is out there, that is real. So, just stay where you are.
Say, ‘Thank you God’ because you have a fantastic job, enjoy your moment, enjoy your time and do what you do best because she is one of the best ones when it comes to performing in the ring so just leave the past in the past and continue doing what you’ve been doing in the last three, four years because I’m doing the same and I want things to stay that way. Again, no interest in affecting anyone’s life but don’t mess with me again’ and this goes for everybody, don’t mess with me again and this time I’m gonna defend myself and I’m gonna show everybody the truth about how things were.”
Del Rio stated that he is open to working with AEW. Although he is happy focusing on his company should the opportunity never materialize.
“When it comes to the company, AEW, if they want to do business with me, I will be more than happy to do if. If they don’t, again, I will continue doing what I’m doing right now, producing our show, taking our company to the next level and work for those major corporations that have given me the opportunity to work with them.”
It’s highly unlikely that AEW would even consider picking up Del Rio as a talent due to his string of legal issues in the past. Several former couples do work for the same wrestling organizations all the time, but if a relationship has heavy baggage, then it’s best to choose the talent with the least among of controversy.
