Alberto Del Rio was recently interviewed by KENS5,com to promote his new restaurant in San Antonio, Texas. During the interview, he spoke on a wide variety of topics. One of the highlights was Del Rio explaining why he chose to leave the WWE.
Del Rio left the company back in September. In the interview, he discussed why it was time for him to step away from WWE:
“It was my decision not to work for WWE. I’m always gonna be grateful with that company because they put me out there, they gave me a name, they gave me the opportunity to show my talent to the world. And because of that I am always going to be grateful, but it was time for me to just enjoy my family, start new projects like this one, I’m the President of Combate Americas which is the first American-Hispanic MMA company in history”

He continued:
“We’re doing great things out there, we working with our business partners in Mexico and they’re helping us to make this company something spectacular. I’m doing a lot of projects that I could not have done in WWE, but now I’m doing them and I’m just happy I get to see my kids everyday and that makes me the happiest man in the world”
Happy to hear that things are going well in his life post-WWE. Also nice that he didn’t take any shots at the company.
