WWE: 19 Professional Wrestlers with surprising MMA records that you may not know about

#7 Alberto Del Rio

Alberto Del Rio

In the world of wrestling, Alberto Del Rio is far from the most beloved wrestler of all time. When he made his debut in the company, it felt like there was no limit to the potential that he had in the ring. He even won the Royal Rumble Match and went on to become the World Heavyweight Champion and the WWE Champion multiple times, but never really had a significant feud that left an impact on the company.

Instead, it was the controversy he stirred up and his less than healthy relationship with Paige that is often brought up about Del Rio. In fact, the moment that is best remembered about Del Rio's run in WWE was the time that Dolph Ziggler cashed in the Money in the Bank contract against him when he was the Champion. The crowd came alive and that was one of the biggest cheers from the WWE Universe in the modern era of wrestling.

Before coming to the world of wrestling, Del Rio was making his name in MMA. He won several fights, and in fact, returned to the world of fighting in 2019. He fought Tito Ortiz but it was obvious that the two fighters were in different leagues with Ortiz winning the fight within the first round.

Record: 9-6
