Alberto Del Rio on possibly returning to WWE

Last month, Alberto Del Rio appeared in an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, where he discussed his time in WWE. The 47-year-old disclosed that he had a good relationship with former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and would like to return to the organization one day to have a final run.

"I would be lying if I don't [sic] tell you or tell the fans that that's my biggest dream to go back there and have one last run and retire, finally, hanging my boots after a match in the WWE against one of my favorite wrestlers, whoever it is," Alberto said.

Alberto doesn't have a dream opponent for his last match but he wishes to retire in WWE.
