Backstage Details Behind Alberto Del Rio's New WWE Contract

As noted earlier, WWE signed Alberto Del Rio to a new deal that allows him to work less dates for a large amount of money. The new deal also allows him to finish his non-WWE obligations that he signed up prior to his new contract.

AAA reportedly could not match a $1,450,000 per year downside that WWE offered. While the promotion was disappointed that Del Rio is leaving, it appears that there are no hard feelings between either side. As mentioned before, AAA was notified of Del Rio's WWE return the day of the Hell in a Cell event, where he made his return to capture the United States Championship from John Cena.

AAA originally planned to do Del Rio vs. Jeff Jarrett in a hair vs. hair match on December 5th at Guerra de Titanes, however they are now re-doing plans for that show. Additionally, Del Rio was scheduled for more AAA dates while WWE is in Europe, but there is no confirmation on whether or not he will be allowed to work them.
