UPDATE: WWE issued the following statement on Monday evening regarding a “mutual understanding” reached with former Superstar Alberto Del Rio:
“Following his departure from WWE, former WWE Superstar Alberto Del Rio and WWE have reached a mutual understanding with regard to his future booking opportunities. WWE wishes Alberto the best in his future endeavors.”
Del Rio tweeted a similar statement less than 24 hours prior.
ORIGINAL: According to sources, Alberto Del Rio announced that he and WWE have come to terms regarding Del Rio taking post-WWE bookings.
Del Rio was fired several months back for striking a WWE.com social media manager after the manager allegedly made racially insensitive remarks. In public, WWE claimed that Del Rio was fired as of a result of breaching his contract. Other sources claimed that WWE claimed that he breached their morals clause and they were attempting to keep him from wrestling until August 2015.
WWE and Del Rio’s attorney reached an agreement, which will see Del Rio able to take future bookings with the agreement that neither side will disparage the other.
