Alberto Del Rio Injury Update

Richard Gray January 26, 2012 WWE News 4 Comments

As I reported last week on Richard’s Backstage Blog, WWE is targeting next month for Alberto Del Rio’s return. Some have speculated he could be a surprise entrant in the 30-man Royal Rumble match but apparently that isn’t likely.

Del Rio, who is currently recovering from a legitimate torn groin injury, won last year’s 40-man Royal Rumble match. Below is a kayfabe Tweet from Del Rio’s on-screen ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez:

If Mr Del Rio wasn’t hurt he could easily win the Royal Rumble again this year. He did win the biggest Royal Rumble match ever after all!

I had completely forgotten about Del Rio and hadn't even noticed his absence from the Top Card lately. Chance for them to change his gimmick a little?

I forgot Del Rio was even still with the company. Wow, he really is going to go down as the more forgettable WWE champion in history.
