Alberto Del Rio
José Alberto Rodríguez Chucuan (born May 25, 1977), better known by the ring name Alberto Del Rio, is a Mexican professional wrestler and former mixed martial artist from the renowned lucha libre family of Dos Caras.[1][2][3] The son of wrestler Dos Caras and nephew to Mil Máscaras and Sicodelico, Rodríguez debuted professionally in 2000 after training in amateur wrestling and competing in MMA promotions like Pancrase.[1][4] He gained prominence in Mexico's Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as Dos Caras Jr. before signing with WWE in 2010, where he portrayed an aristocratic heel character and achieved significant success, including winning the 2011 Royal Rumble match—the largest in history with 40 participants—and becoming the first Mexico-born performer to capture WWE's world titles, securing the WWE Championship twice and World Heavyweight Championship twice, along with two United States Championships and a Money in the Bank contract.[5][3][6] Del Rio's WWE tenure ended in 2014 following a suspension for violating the company's wellness policy, with a brief return in 2015 cut short by his release amid allegations of assaulting his then-fiancée.[7] Subsequent years saw him compete as Alberto El Patrón in promotions like Impact Wrestling and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, where he held further championships, though his career was repeatedly disrupted by legal troubles, including a 2017 airport incident involving domestic violence accusations with partner Paige, a 2020 indictment for sexual assault, and a 2025 suspension from Tijuana wrestling events over a fan altercation.[8][9][7]Early Life and Amateur Career
Family Background and Upbringing
José Alberto Rodríguez Chucuan, known professionally as Alberto Del Rio, was born on May 25, 1977, in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, into one of the most prominent families in Mexican lucha libre.[2][10] His father, Dos Caras (real name Arnulfo Rodríguez), is a celebrated luchador who competed extensively in Mexico and achieved international recognition for his technical style and mask.[2][11] Rodríguez's uncle, Mil Máscaras, is another iconic figure in wrestling history, known for his high-flying maneuvers and contributions to popularizing lucha libre globally during the mid-20th century.[11][12] Raised in this wrestling-centric environment, Rodríguez was immersed in the traditions and demands of the profession from childhood, with family members frequently traveling for matches, which exposed him to the industry's rigors early on.[10][13] The family's legacy, spanning generations of performers, instilled a sense of heritage that influenced his decision to pursue athletic endeavors, initially focusing on Greco-Roman wrestling under coaches like Leonel Kolesni before transitioning toward professional wrestling. Despite the familial pull toward wrestling, Rodríguez pursued formal education, earning a degree in architecture from the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí, reflecting a blend of cultural expectations and personal ambition in his upbringing.Amateur Wrestling Achievements
Prior to transitioning to professional wrestling, José Alberto Rodríguez competed successfully in amateur freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling, representing Mexico in regional and international events. In 1997, at the World Junior Championships in the Czech Republic, he placed third, earning a bronze medal in his weight class.[3] Rodríguez dominated the Central American and Caribbean Games, capturing gold medals in his weight division on three occasions, demonstrating consistent excellence against regional competitors.[14] He further distinguished himself by winning a gold medal in Greco-Roman wrestling at the 1999 Pan American Games, highlighting his technical proficiency and competitive edge on a continental stage.[15][3]Professional Wrestling Career
Initial Promotions in Mexico and Japan (2000–2004)
José Alberto Rodríguez, performing under the ring name Dos Caras Jr., made his professional wrestling debut in 2000, initially appearing in Mexican promotions. His first notable in-ring involvement occurred on May 9, 2000, during an Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) event, where he intervened to aid his father, Dos Caras, against attackers, marking his entry into the lucha libre scene.[16] [17] Throughout 2000 and 2001, he competed in AAA and independent circuits in Mexico, honing his skills as a heavyweight técnico without securing major titles during this formative phase.[17] By 2002, Dos Caras Jr. expanded internationally, touring Japan with Pro Wrestling Zero1, where he was part of the roster and participated in events through 2003.[2] He also appeared for All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) during this period, engaging in matches that helped establish his reputation beyond Mexico's borders.[2] These Japanese excursions, spanning 2002 to 2004, emphasized stiff, hard-hitting style bouts typical of the promotions, though specific achievements remained modest as he prioritized experience over championships.[18] His work in both regions during these years laid the groundwork for later success, transitioning from family legacy to independent performer.[19]Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre Tenure (2005–2009)
In 2005, José Alberto Rodríguez, performing as Dos Caras Jr., signed a contract with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Mexico's premier wrestling promotion, marking a significant step in his career ascent within the national scene.[20] Early in the year, during the January/February CMLL Copa Junior tournament, Dos Caras Jr. advanced by defeating Mephisto and Felino before losing to Dr. Wagner Jr. in the later rounds, with Shocker ultimately claiming victory.[21] This participation highlighted his positioning among rising talents in CMLL's junior division.[22] Dos Caras Jr. continued building momentum, securing the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship in 2006 as part of his rising profile in the promotion.[2] On May 10, 2005, he challenged Universo 2000 for the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship but was unsuccessful in his initial bid.[23] Persistence paid off on July 8, 2007, when Dos Caras Jr. defeated Universo 2000 to capture the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship, a prestigious title in Mexican lucha libre.[17] He held the championship for 533 days, defending it only four times during this period, reflecting a relatively low-activity reign amid CMLL's competitive landscape.[24] Dos Caras Jr.'s tenure solidified his status as a top heavyweight contender in CMLL, leveraging his family legacy as the son of Dos Caras while establishing individual accomplishments through these title victories.[20] By late 2008, after dropping the World Heavyweight Championship on December 22, he transitioned toward international opportunities, departing CMLL in 2009 to pursue ventures abroad.[24] This period underscored his technical prowess and marketability in Mexico's traditional wrestling circuit before shifting focus to global promotions.[22]World Wrestling Entertainment Debut and Rise (2009–2011)
On June 17, 2009, José Alberto Rodríguez signed a three-year contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), marking his entry into the promotion after declining an earlier offer in January of that year.[20] Despite his extensive experience in Mexican and Japanese promotions, WWE assigned him to its developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), to adapt to the American wrestling style.[22] His time in FCW was brief, focusing on character refinement rather than extensive in-ring competition, given his veteran status.[3] Rodríguez adopted the ring name Alberto Del Rio, portraying a smug Mexican aristocrat character, complete with a personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez, who introduced him in vignettes.[25] These promotional videos began airing on the June 25, 2010, episode of SmackDown, building anticipation for his main roster arrival by emphasizing his supposed noble heritage and disdain for opponents.[20] Del Rio's unmasked presentation contrasted with his prior masked persona as Dos Caras Jr. in Mexico, allowing WWE to market him as a fresh heel antagonist rooted in lucha libre traditions but tailored for U.S. audiences.[25] Del Rio made his in-ring television debut on the August 20, 2010, episode of SmackDown, interrupting a segment featuring Rey Mysterio and quickly defeating Christian via submission with his cross armbreaker finisher.[26] This appearance initiated a high-profile feud with Mysterio, culminating in Del Rio forcing Mysterio to tap out in a non-title match at Hell in a Cell on October 3, 2010, solidifying his status as a dominant mid-card threat.[27] Throughout late 2010, Del Rio engaged in additional victories over competitors like Daniel Bryan and Edge on house shows and television, while his manager Ricardo Rodriguez enhanced the aristocratic gimmick by chauffeuring him to the ring in luxury cars.[3] Del Rio's momentum carried into 2011, where he entered the Royal Rumble match at number 27 on January 30, outlasting 39 other participants—including eliminating Mysterio—to win the largest Rumble in WWE history at that time, earning a WrestleMania world championship opportunity.[28] This victory, achieved with interference from his allies to counter a post-elimination attack, positioned Del Rio as a top contender on the SmackDown brand, setting the stage for his challenge against World Heavyweight Champion Edge at WrestleMania XXVII on April 3, 2011.[29] His rapid ascent from debut to Rumble winner highlighted WWE's investment in him as a potential franchise heel, leveraging his technical prowess and international pedigree.[22]WWE Championship Reigns and Peak (2011–2013)
Del Rio's ascent to WWE's main event scene accelerated in early 2011 following his victory in the Royal Rumble match on January 30, 2011, where he eliminated Santino Marella last among 40 participants. This win earned him a world title opportunity at WrestleMania XXVII on April 3, 2011, against World Heavyweight Champion Edge, though he lost the match. Later that year, on July 17, 2011, at Money in the Bank, Del Rio won the WWE Championship Money in the Bank ladder match, defeating competitors including Rey Mysterio and The Miz. On August 14, 2011, at SummerSlam, Del Rio cashed in his contract immediately after CM Punk retained the WWE Championship against John Cena, defeating the exhausted Punk via submission with the cross armbreaker to claim his first WWE Championship. This victory marked Del Rio as the first Mexican-born performer to win the WWE Championship. His 98-day reign included successful defenses against Cena on September 18, 2011, at Night of Champions via disqualification, and against Zack Ryder and others on television, solidifying his status as a top heel with ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez. The reign ended on November 20, 2011, at Survivor Series, when Del Rio submitted to Punk. Following the title loss, Del Rio remained a prominent figure in 2012, engaging in feuds and capturing the World Tag Team Championship with Ricardo Rodriguez on March 7, 2012, though they vacated it shortly after.[30] His momentum waned mid-year with losses to midcarders, but by late 2012, a rivalry with Big Show positioned him for another title run. On January 8, 2013, Del Rio defeated Big Show in a Last Man Standing match on SmackDown to win the World Heavyweight Championship, beginning a 90-day reign.[31] During his World Heavyweight Championship tenure, Del Rio defended the title against Big Show at Royal Rumble on January 27, 2013, and Elimination Chamber on February 17, 2013, retaining via disqualification and submission, respectively.[32] He further retained against Christian at SummerSlam on August 18, 2013, but the peak SmackDown brand run concluded earlier on April 8, 2013, when Dolph Ziggler cashed in his Money in the Bank contract post-match against Jack Swagger, defeating Del Rio for the title. This period represented Del Rio's zenith as a world champion, highlighted by his technical prowess and storyline dominance on SmackDown.WWE Decline and Departure (2013–2014)
Following the loss of the World Heavyweight Championship to John Cena at Hell in a Cell on October 27, 2013, Del Rio's role in WWE programming shifted toward midcard feuds and enhancement matches, marking a noticeable decline from his prior main-event status.[33] Earlier in the year, he had defended the title—regained after WrestleMania 29—against challengers such as Christian at SummerSlam on August 18, 2013, and Rob Van Dam at Night of Champions on September 15, 2013, and Battleground on October 6, 2013. However, with WWE emphasizing emerging storylines and the brand's top stars, Del Rio received fewer high-profile opportunities, including losses in non-title bouts against CM Punk on SmackDown episodes and his former announcer Ricardo Rodriguez on Raw on October 7, 2013.[34][35] In 2014, Del Rio's booking further emphasized his demotion, as he was positioned to elevate returning Batista in a short feud, losing to him at Elimination Chamber on February 23 despite attempting a pre-match ambush.[36] He qualified for the June 2014 Money in the Bank ladder match for a WWE Championship contract but was eliminated early, and engaged in sporadic midcard contests, such as challenging Intercontinental Champion Big E on SmackDown on April 18, 2014, without securing a title shot or sustained push.[37] Analysts noted WWE's uncertainty in utilizing Del Rio amid a crowded card and the December 2013 World Heavyweight Championship unification under the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship, which sidelined several former titleholders.[38] Del Rio's tenure ended abruptly on August 7, 2014, when WWE released him citing unprofessional conduct and an altercation with an employee following the August 4 Raw episode.[39] Reports detailed the incident as Del Rio spitting on and physically striking a production team member who had made a joke likening him to a looter amid the Ferguson unrest, prompting immediate termination despite his multi-year contract.[40][41] Former WWE road agent Arn Anderson later confirmed the employee—a social media handler—was slapped after the remark, underscoring the backstage tensions that contributed to Del Rio's exit.[42]Independent and International Circuits (2014–2016)
Following his departure from WWE in August 2014, Rodríguez adopted the ring name Alberto El Patrón and fulfilled a non-compete clause that prevented U.S. appearances until late October.[43] He made his first post-WWE in-ring appearance on November 1, 2014, in Japan's Wrestle-1 promotion, defeating Masakatsu Funaki in a singles match.[43] Rodríguez then competed in Puerto Rico for World Wrestling Council (WWC), where on November 15, 2014, he defeated Carlito to win the WWC Universal Championship, holding the title until early 2015.[43] He also captured the World Wrestling League (WWL) World Heavyweight Championship on January 6, 2015, retaining it through September 19, 2015, amid crossover events with WWC.[24] In December 2014, Rodríguez signed with Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), initially appearing alongside his father Dos Caras at Triplemanía XXII on August 17, 2014, prior to his full commitment post-non-compete.[44] On December 7, 2014, at Guerra de Titanes, he defeated Texano Jr. to win the vacant AAA Mega Championship, marking his first world title in Mexico since 2009; he held the championship for 337 days until losing it to Johnny Mundo on November 1, 2015.[44][24] During this reign, which overlapped his WWE return in May 2015, Rodríguez defended the title selectively in AAA events, including victories over opponents such as El Mesías and Brian Cage. Rodríguez made sporadic appearances for Ring of Honor (ROH) starting in December 2014, following an announcement on December 11, including a debut match against Christopher Daniels at Final Struggle on December 26, 2014.[45] These independent and international outings emphasized his lucha libre roots and family legacy, with matches often featuring high-profile opponents from Mexico, Japan, and the Caribbean circuits before his WWE reinstatement.Returns to Major Promotions (2016–2018)
Del Rio continued his WWE tenure into 2016, where he was selected as part of the SmackDown brand during the July 19 WWE Draft. He competed in various matches on the brand, including a loss to John Cena on the August 16 episode of SmackDown Live.[46] On August 18, 2016, Del Rio received a 30-day suspension for his first violation of WWE's Wellness Policy. WWE announced Del Rio's release on September 9, 2016, stating that the company and José Rodríguez had mutually agreed to the terms effective that day.[41] [47] Following his departure, Del Rio reverted to the ring name Alberto El Patrón and appeared in independent dates, including potential ties to Lucha Underground circuits, though no major televised commitments were confirmed immediately post-release.[48] In early 2017, El Patrón signed with Impact Wrestling, debuting during tapings on March 2, 2017, with his appearance airing on the March 9 episode where he confronted Bobby Lashley for the world championship.[49] He defeated Lashley to unify the Impact World Heavyweight Championship and GFW Global Championship at Slammiversary XV on July 2, 2017, becoming the inaugural Unified GFW World Champion.[50] His reign ended on August 14, 2017, when Impact vacated the title amid his suspension following a July 2017 arrest for domestic battery charges related to an altercation with former partner Paige.[24] El Patrón was suspended by Impact in late 2017 over the incident and personal conduct issues.[51] Impact terminated El Patrón's contract in 2018 after he no-showed a crossover event involving Lucha Underground, citing breach of agreement.[52] During this period, he held the unified title for 43 days and defended it in gauntlet-style matches against groups like LAX prior to the vacancy.[53] His time in Impact marked a brief return to a major U.S. promotion but was overshadowed by backstage and legal controversies leading to his exit.[54]Later Career and Recent Developments (2018–2025)
Rodríguez competed sparingly on the independent circuit following his Impact Wrestling contract expiration in early 2018, with no major promotional commitments amid ongoing legal matters related to prior allegations of domestic violence.[25] His wrestling activity remained minimal through 2022, focusing instead on mixed martial arts bouts and personal recovery, as verified by match databases showing fewer than a dozen documented appearances globally during this period.[45] He reemerged in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) in May 2023 at the Lucha Libre World Cup event in Tulancingo, Mexico, marking a full return to Mexican lucha libre promotions after years of absence.[54] Throughout 2023 and 2024, Rodríguez, performing under the El Patrón Alberto moniker, featured prominently in AAA storylines, including feuds that positioned him as a top heel contender. In late 2024, he defeated an opponent to win the AAA Mega Championship, embarking on a title reign that lasted 287 days and included successful defenses such as at Rey de Reyes on March 22, 2025.[45][55] The championship run concluded on May 31, 2025, when Rodríguez lost the belt to El Hijo del Vikingo in the main event of AAA's Alianzas show via pinfall after a high-spot sequence.[45] Tensions escalated in June 2025 at Triplemanía Regia II, where he faced Vikingo in a steel cage match for the TNA X Division Championship, though the bout ended in controversy over interference claims.[55] On July 25, 2025, at an AAA television taping, Rodríguez dropped a loser-leaves-AAA stipulation match to El Mesías, effectively ending his contract with the promotion amid backstage disputes with management, including promoter Dorian Roldán.[56][57] Post-AAA, Rodríguez appeared at an independent event affiliated with AAA on September 26, 2025, teaming with Mr. Iguana to secure a victory, suggesting continued activity outside major leagues.[58] Earlier in 2025, he faced a six-month suspension from Tijuana Boxing and Wrestling Commission events following a March altercation, limiting regional bookings.[59] Speculation arose regarding a potential WWE return, fueled by the company's partial involvement with AAA and endorsements from figures like JBL, who in April 2025 described Rodríguez as "the best wrestler in the world" based on observed performances; however, WWE officials have expressed no interest, citing unresolved past behavioral issues.[60][61] As of October 2025, no new major contracts have been announced, leaving his trajectory toward sporadic independents or retirement unclear.[62]Mixed Martial Arts Career
Early MMA Bouts
José Alberto Rodríguez, competing under the ring name Dos Caras Jr., made his professional mixed martial arts debut on August 18, 2001, at Deep - 2nd Impact in Japan, defeating Kengo Watanabe via TKO due to a broken arm just 50 seconds into the first round.[63] This victory highlighted his amateur wrestling background, as he leveraged throws to inflict orthopedic damage, a technique rooted in his Greco-Roman experience.[63] In a rematch on March 30, 2002, at Deep - 4th Impact, Rodríguez lost to Watanabe by rear-naked choke submission in the second round at 3:52, exposing vulnerabilities in his grappling defense against persistent opponents.[63] He rebounded on September 7, 2002, at Deep - 6th Impact, submitting Tatsuaki Nakano via rear-naked choke in the first round at 4:05, demonstrating proficiency in ground control and chokes.[63] Rodríguez's early record included a loss by disqualification on May 5, 2003, at Deep - 9th Impact, to Hiroyuki Ito for grabbing the ropes in the first round at 3:21, followed by a win on September 15, 2003, at Deep - 12th Impact, where he TKO'd Brad Kohler via shoulder injury in 1:25 of the first round.[63] These bouts, primarily in Japan's Deep promotion, showcased a 3-2 record marked by quick finishes but inconsistent performance against varied skill sets.[63] Transitioning to higher-profile events, Rodríguez debuted in Pride Fighting Championships on October 5, 2003, at Pride Bushido 1, where he was knocked out by Mirko Filipović (Cro Cop) via head kick in just 46 seconds of the first round, underscoring the gap between regional competition and elite striking threats.[63] His Pride tenure concluded with a unanimous decision loss to Kazuhiro Nakamura on February 1, 2004, at Pride 27 - Inferno, after three full rounds, further illustrating challenges in sustaining output against judo-based fighters.[63]| Date | Opponent | Event | Result | Method | Round | Time |

Combate Americas Involvement
Alberto El Patrón participated in Combate Américas, a mixed martial arts promotion founded in 2017 to showcase Latin American talent, by headlining the event Tito vs. Alberto on December 7, 2019, at the Bert Ogden Arena in McAllen, Texas.[64] The catchweight bout against Tito Ortiz, set at 205 pounds, was contested for the promotion's inaugural light heavyweight and middleweight championships, marking El Patrón's return to professional MMA after a 12-year hiatus since his last recorded fight in 2007.[65][63] Ortiz dominated the fight, taking El Patrón's back early and securing a rear-naked choke submission victory at 3:10 of the first round, refereed by Jason Herzog.[63][66] The outcome was initially recorded as a win for Ortiz, extending his professional record to 22-12-1. However, on February 26, 2020, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) overturned the result to a no decision amid an unspecified review, prompting Ortiz to contest the change publicly.[67] Following clearance of Ortiz from any wrongdoing, the TDLR reinstated the submission win for Ortiz on February 28, 2020, restoring El Patrón's professional MMA record to 9-6 at the time.[68][63] This remains El Patrón's sole appearance in Combate Américas.Ultimate Fighting Championship Appearance
Alberto Rodríguez, known professionally as Alberto Del Rio, did not compete as a fighter in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).[63] His professional mixed martial arts record of 9 wins and 6 losses was accumulated across promotions including Pride FC and Mexican circuits such as MMA Xtreme, with no bouts listed under UFC sanctioning.[69] Rodríguez's most notable international MMA exposure prior to his wrestling prominence came in Pride FC, where he was knocked out by Mirko Filipović via high kick at 0:46 of the first round on October 5, 2003, during Pride Final Conflict 2003.[63] In 2022, he signed a Spanish-language commentary deal with the UFC, debuting as an announcer at UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Aspinall on March 19 in London, but this role did not involve in-cage competition.[70]Championships and Accomplishments
Amateur Wrestling Honors
Rodríguez represented Mexico in Greco-Roman wrestling, competing at the international level as a member of the national team. He won the gold medal in his weight class at the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Canada.[15][41] Rodríguez claimed first place in his division at the Central American and Caribbean Games three times, demonstrating consistent regional dominance.[71] At the 1997 World Junior Championships in the Czech Republic, he earned a bronze medal by placing third overall.[71]Professional Wrestling Titles
