We reported over a week ago that Alberto Del Rio was leaving the WWE. Del Rio was recently suspended 30 days by the WWE for violating the wellness policy. His contract was set to expire but instead of re-negotiating, he chose to go cut ties with the company. The WWE have made it official, posting on their website and social media accounts today (which you can see below).
Here was the original tweet announcing his departure:

Here is what they said on their website:
“WWE and Jose Rodriguez (Alberto Del Rio) have mutually agreed upon the terms of his release as of today, September 9, 2016” (Source: WWE).
We wish him the best in his next chapter! There were reports that he was unhappy with his status within the company as he was promised a push when he re-signed last year. Going to be interesting to see where he ends up!
Meh see ya
