José Alberto Rodríguez[1][2] (born May 25, 1977),[3][4] is a Mexican professional wrestler and mixed martial artist, best known for his two tenures in WWE under the ring name Alberto Del Rio. He is currently signed to Global Force Wrestling under the ring name Alberto El Patrón, where he is the current Unified GFW World Heavyweight Champion in his first reign. He also competes for various promotions on the international independent circuit.

Rodríguez also wrestled in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), Ring of Honor (ROH), Lucha Underground, Japan, Puerto Rico, and various United States independent promotions. Before working for WWE, Rodríguez used the name Dos Caras Jr. as both a mixed martial artist and luchador in mostly Mexico and Japan, achieving success in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).

Between America and Mexico, Rodríguez is a eight-time world champion, having held both the WWE Championship and WWE's World Heavyweight Championship twice each, and also having one reign each with the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship, the AAA Mega Championship, and the GFW Global and Unified World Heavyweight Championships. He also won the 2011 Royal Rumble and the 2011 Money in the Bank ladder match, making him the only professional wrestler to win both in the same calendar year. He is also a two-time WWE United States Champion.

Family and early life

Born in San Luis Potosí into one of the most well known Mexican wrestling families, his father is noted luchador Dos Caras, while his uncles are Mil Máscaras and Sicodelico. His cousins, Sicodelico Jr. and Hijo de Sicodelico, are also wrestlers.[4] His younger brother Guillermo signed a WWE contract in August 2012 and was assigned to the promotion's developmental territory WWE NXT under the ring name Memo Montenegro,[22] but was released in July 2013.[23]

Rodríguez graduated from Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí where he earned a degree in architecture.[4][5][19]

Amateur wrestling

Growing up in a family of wrestlers Rodríguez decided to take up Greco-Roman wrestling, training under Leonel Kolesni and Juan Fernández.[3][4][19] He earned a place on the Mexico national team in Greco-Roman wrestling and while competing on the national team obtained several accomplishments.[24] In 1997, he placed third at the World Junior Championships, in the Czech Republic.[24] He also won the Central American and Caribbean Games in his weight division three times and won a medal at the Pan American Games. Rodríguez was on track to compete at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, but due to a lack of funding and support, Mexico did not send a wrestling team that year.[5]

Professional wrestling career

AAA (2000–2002)

After not competing at the 2000 Olympic games, Rodríguez turned to the family business, and trained with his father to become a professional wrestler. He made his debut appearance on May 9, 2000 as Dos Caras Jr. when he ran in during an AAA show to save his father from a beat down from El Texano and Pirata Morgan.[25] Over the next couple of years, Caras worked both in Mexico and Japan to gain experience in the ring. In Mexico he worked exclusively for AAA making appearances at shows such as the 2002 Verano de Escándalo, where he teamed with El Gronda and El Hijo del Solitario to defeat the trio of Pirata Morgan, Sangre Chicana and El Brazo.[26]

Japanese promotions (2001–2004)

Rodríguez's first foray into puroresu was in 2001 for the Battlarts promotion, where he defeated Kazunari Murakami at the YUKI-BOM-BA-YE event.[27] Rodríguez returned to Japan the following year wrestling for Pro Wrestling Zero1 (Zero1) and All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW).[28][29][30] After wrestling for Zero1 primarily throughout 2002 and 2003, Rodríguez joined Hustle, debuting on their inaugural Hustle 1 event. He would continue to wrestle for Hustle under the ring names Dos Caras Jr. and Hustle Kamen Gold until October 2004.[31]

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2005–2009)

In 2005, Caras was signed to a contract with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).[32] In his first test in the company, Caras competed in the 2005 La Copa Junior, but the storyline of the tournament saw him defeated in the semi-final by Dr. Wagner Jr.[4][33] Caras's advancement to the semi-final of the cup, mere months after signing with the company was an indicator that the bookers were interested in elevating him up the rankings, this was further supported when he received matches for both the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship and the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship inside a three-week period.[4][34] The following year on March 31, 2006 Caras was entered again into the La Copa Junior tournament and earned a return victory over Dr. Wagner Jr. who knocked him out of the tournament the previous year.[4] He also won against Heavy Metal and Apolo Dantés to gain a place in the final, defeating Héctor Garza to win the prize.[35] While working in Japan, Caras had taken to teaming with another second-generation wrestler, Lizmark Jr., and when both found themselves in CMLL they were teamed up once again with the team's famous fathers being the selling point. Over the next year Caras found himself without much direction, he worked storylines with Último Guerrero and Kenzo Suzuki but nothing long term came of it. Caras received two opportunities to challenge Universo 2000 for the CMLL World Heavyweight title but came up short until his third attempt on July 8, 2007 when he became the CMLL World Heavyweight Champion.[34] While in wrestling promotions outside of Mexico the Heavyweight title would indicate that he was the top man in the federation, Mexican wrestling promotions tend to put more emphasis on the lower weight divisions over the heavyweights.[36]

After the contract dealings with WWE surfaced he began showing signs of becoming a rudo (villain). He turned his attention away from the matches and instead try to win the approval of the fans, often costing his team the match because he was distracted. Caras himself explained this behavior by stating that he "hurt his shoulder, but bravely stayed in the arena".[37] After hinting at a change for weeks Caras finally cemented his villainous persona on April 11, 2009, the second member of the Rodríguez family to be a heel (after his uncle, El Sicodélico Sr).[38] Caras's run with the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship remained largely uneventful with only four title defenses in the 533 days that he held the championship, before losing it and departing for WWE.[4][34]

World Wrestling Entertainment/WWE

Contract negotiations (2008–2009)

By the fall of 2008, a story broke that Rodríguez had wrestled a dark match for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and that they had offered him a contract.[4][39] Over the following months conflicting reports of whether he had signed or not arose, but he remained CMLL World Heavyweight Champion. When he lost the title to Último Guerrero it was believed that he had indeed signed with WWE,[34] with him being rumored to be a surprise participant in the 2009 Royal Rumble. However, he remained with CMLL and stated that he signed a four-year deal and chose CMLL because they offered him a better deal than WWE.[4][40]

Florida Championship Wrestling (2009–2010)

On June 17, 2009, Rodríguez confirmed that he had signed a three-year contract with WWE, stating that he would not have to go to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), WWE's developmental territory, but directly to the main roster.[4] Furthermore, he would retain the rights to his name, mask and image, but allow the WWE to use it for promotional purposes while he is under contract with them. He agreed to the contract since it addressed the main reasons why he turned down the WWE's offer in January 2009.[41] Despite his claims, he had a match with Kris Logan at FCW under the name Dos.[42] He later also went on to wrestle under the ring names Dorado and El Dorado.[3] During a segment on the Abraham Washington show at the August 6 taping, Rodríguez revealed a new, unmasked wrestling character named Alberto Banderas.[11] When he revealed his face, he was criticized by some Mexicans for revealing, to which he responded that only a few people know why he lost the mask in that way.[32] During WWE's WrestleMania Revenge tour of Europe in April 2010, he made numerous appearances in untelevised matches for the Raw brand. One night he wrestled as Dos Caras, but he did not wear his mask. He was presented as a villain in a losing effort against Christian.[14][43] The following month Caras put his mask back on for WWE's tour of Mexico and worked as a hometown hero, prior to returning unmasked during untelevised matches for subsequent Raw and SmackDown shows.[44][45] Later, Rodríguez said that he hated his time in FCW, but that he learned a lot.[32]

Early feuds (2010–2011)

Del Rio at the 2010 Tribute to the Troops event

On the June 25, 2010, episode of SmackDown, Rodríguez appeared on a taped promotional video as the unmasked Alberto Del Rio.[12] Thereafter, a vignette aired every week on SmackDown promoting his character as an arrogant rich Mexican aristocrat, espousing his own virtues of honesty, integrity and mental faculties. After two months, Del Rio wrestled his first match at a house show in Brisbane, Australia and a week later, he made his television debut on the August 20 episode of SmackDown by defeating Rey Mysterio in the main event by submission with the cross armbreaker.[3][46] As part of his act, Del Rio made his entrances in an expensive car, while he was introduced by his personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez.[46] The following week, Del Rio continued the storyline with Mysterio by attacking him after his match with Kane, giving him a storyline injury by refusing to relinquish his armbar.[47] Two weeks later, he defeated Matt Hardy via submission in Hardy's last appearance with the company[48] causing Hardy's friend Christian to challenge Del Rio to a match at Night of Champions.[49] Despite declining the match, on the September 24 episode of SmackDown Del Rio attacked Christian and injured him the same way he did Mysterio the previous month.[50] This was done to write Christian off television, as he had suffered a torn pectoral muscle.[51] Mysterio returned on the October 8 episode of SmackDown, and handed Del Rio his first defeat in the main event match.[52] In October, Del Rio defeated Chris Masters to represent the SmackDown brand at Bragging Rights, but during the pay-per-view event, he attacked teammate Rey Mysterio, before being eliminated from the match by Team Raw's CM Punk.[53][54] At Survivor Series, in the traditional five-on-five elimination match, Del Rio captained a team against Rey Mysterio's team. Despite Del Rio's team losing, he was removed from the match after Big Show knocked him out with a WMD.[55] On the November 26 episode of SmackDown, Del Rio defeated Big Show via countout to qualify for the 2010 King of the Ring tournament.[56] In the tournament the next week on Raw, he made United States Champion Daniel Bryan submit in the first round, but was defeated by John Morrison in the semifinal after being distracted by Mysterio who was inside his car.[57] At TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, Del Rio competed in a fatal four-way Tables, Ladders and Chairs match for the World Heavyweight Championship, which was won by Edge and also included Kane and Rey Mysterio.[58] On the January 7, 2011 episode of SmackDown, Del Rio defeated Mysterio in a two-out-of-three-falls match, with help from Ricardo Rodriguez by holding Mysterio out of the ring to end his long feud with Mysterio.[59]

On the fourth season of NXT, starting in December 2010, Del Rio mentored rookie Conor O'Brian,[60] who became the second contestant to be eliminated from the competition on January 18.[61] The following week the rookies competed in a fatal-four way match, of which the winner could change their pro. Brodus Clay won the match and chose Del Rio as his new pro.[62] After the conclusion of NXT, Del Rio hired Clay as his bodyguard.[63]

On January 30, 2011, Del Rio defeated 39 other participants, last eliminating Santino Marella, to win the 2011 Royal Rumble and earn the right to compete for either the World Heavyweight Championship or the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XXVII.[64] The next night on Raw, Del Rio chose to compete for Edge's World Heavyweight Championship.[65] At Elimination Chamber, Del Rio attacked Edge, after he had successfully defended his title and solidified his spot as Del Rio's opponent at WrestleMania. However, Edge managed to come out the exchange victorious, after Christian returned from his injury and attacked Del Rio.[66] On the March 18 episode of SmackDown, Del Rio and Christian finally had their first one–on–one match in a steel cage, in which Christian won.[67] At WrestleMania XXVII, Del Rio was unsuccessful in his World Heavyweight Title match against Edge.[68] On the April 8 episode of SmackDown, Del Rio defeated Christian to earn a rematch against Edge at Extreme Rules.[69] However, when Edge unexpectedly retired from professional wrestling on the April 11 episode of Raw, Del Rio was instead booked to face Christian in a ladder match for the vacant World Heavyweight Title.[70]

After competing in a match, Show was run over by Del Rio's car, driven by Rodriguez, leaving him sidelined with a storyline knee injury.[73] Show made his return three weeks later, chasing Del Rio out of the ring and beating Rodriguez down.[74] On June 19 at Capitol Punishment, Del Rio defeated Show via referee stoppage, when he was unable to continue the match as a result of a pre-match assault by Mark Henry.[75] On the June 27 episode of Raw, Del Rio defeated Show in a steel cage match, again with help from Mark Henry.[76]

On July 17 at Money in the Bank, Del Rio defeated Alex Riley, Evan Bourne, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston, The Miz, R-Truth and Rey Mysterio in a Money in the bank WWE Championship Contact Ladder Match for a future WWE Championship match whenever and wherever over the next year, while also becoming the first wrestler in history to win a Royal Rumble and a Money in the Bank match in the same year. Following the orders of Vince McMahon, Del Rio attempted to cash in his contract later that same night on CM Punk, who had just defeated John Cena for the WWE Championship, but was attacked and laid out by Punk before he could do so.[77] Del Rio eventually cashed in his contract on August 14 at SummerSlam, challenging CM Punk after the main event, where he had defeated John Cena to become the undisputed WWE Champion. Between the two matches, Punk was attacked by Kevin Nash, which led to Del Rio scoring a quick pinfall victory to win the WWE Championship for the first time.[78] In winning the title, Del Rio became the first ever Mexican-born WWE Champion.[79] Del Rio made his first televised title defense the next night on Raw, defeating Rey Mysterio to retain his title.[80] On September 18 at Night of Champions, Del Rio lost the WWE Title to John Cena, but gained it back on October 2 at Hell in a Cell by defeating Cena and Punk in a Hell in a Cell match.[81] On October 23 at Vengeance, Del Rio successfully defended the WWE Championship against John Cena in a Last Man Standing match, after The Miz and R-Truth interfered.[82] On November 20 at Survivor Series, Del Rio lost the WWE Championship to Punk.[83] Del Rio received a WWE championship rematch on the November 28 episode of Raw, but lost after Punk dropped him onto an exposed turnbuckle, managing to avoid a disqualification, which would have cost him the title in the process.[84] On December 18 at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, Del Rio failed again to regain the WWE Title from Punk in a triple threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs match, also involving The Miz.[85] The next night on Raw, Del Rio suffered a torn groin muscle, which required surgery and sidelined him for four to six weeks.[86]

However, before the match began, Del Rio attacked Sheamus along with men posing as police officers,[103] which led to SmackDown General Manager Booker T taking away his number one contender's status in result.[104] However, the next week, Sheamus had the title match put back on for SummerSlam on August 19,[105] where Del Rio again failed in attempt to dethrone Sheamus after the referee didn't notice Del Rio's foot on the bottom rope.[106] On the August 24 episode of SmackDown, Del Rio defeated Randy Orton by submission to once again become the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.[107] On the September 7 SmackDown, Del Rio filed assault charges against Sheamus, after Sheamus had attacked him and Rodriguez on the September 3 episode Raw, which led to Booker T banning the Brogue Kick[108][109] with the caveat that Sheamus would be stripped of the World Heavyweight Championship if he used the move again.[110] However, on September 16 at Night of Champions, Booker T concluded his investigation into the dangers of the move and lifted the ban.

Langston in a series of matches, which Del Rio won 3-2.[144]

Del Rio finally received his title shot on June 16 at Payback, and during the match, a double-turn occurred; Del Rio turned heel once again by repeatedly and ruthlessly targeting Ziggler's head after his recent concussion to defeat Ziggler and regain the World Heavyweight Championship.[145][146] Del Rio later explained that he targeted Ziggler's head the same way Ziggler targeted Del Rio's injured leg when Ziggler cashed in Money in the Bank to win the title from Del Rio.[147] On July 14 at Money in the Bank, Del Rio defeated Ziggler by disqualification to retain the World Heavyweight Title, after Ziggler's girlfriend AJ Lee hit Del Rio in the face with her Divas Championship belt.[148] The next night on Raw, Del Rio defeated Ziggler in a non-title rematch after a distraction by AJ.[149] On the July 29 episode of Raw, Del Rio re-entered a feud with Christian after losing to him in a non-title match.[150] On the August 2 episode of SmackDown, after Christian won a triple-threat match to become the number on contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, Del Rio attacked him during a post-match interview.[151] On the August 5 episode of Raw, Del Rio lost a non-title match to Rob Van Dam, after Ricardo Rodriguez's interference backfired, which led to Del Rio viciously attacking Rodriguez post-match.[152] On the August 9 episode of SmackDown, Del Rio again lost to Christian in a non-title match.[153] On August 18 at SummerSlam, Del Rio successfully defended the World Heavyweight Title against Christian.[154] Upon Rodriguez's return, he aligned himself with Rob Van Dam,[155] accompanying him to matches and helping him defeat Del Rio in a non-title match to earn a shot at the World Heavyweight Title.[156] On the September 13 episode of SmackDown, Del Rio defeated Rodriguez in a single match.[157] On September 15 Night of Champions, Van Dam defeated Del Rio by disqualification after Del Rio refused to relinquish the cross armbreaker, retaining the World Heavyweight Championship in result.

The following night on the November 25 episode of Raw, Del Rio teamed up with Randy Orton in a losing effort John Cena and Big Show in a tag team match. On the December 2 and 9 episodes of Raw, Del Rio suffered upset losses to the returning of Sin Cara.[163][164] Del Rio finally defeated Sin Cara on the January 6, 2014, episode of Raw. After the match, Del Rio insulted the soon-to-be returning Batista and that he would eliminate Batista in the Royal Rumble to get everyone talking about him.[165] On the January 13 episode of Raw, he defeated Rey Mysterio and after the match, once again confronted Batista.

Del Rio lost several matches over the following weeks and was fired from WWE on August 7, due to "unprofessional conduct" following an altercation with an employee who allegedly made a racist joke.[172]

Return to AAA (2014–2015)

On August 11, 2014, AAA announced that after bring fired by WWE, Rodríguez would be returning to the promotion at Triplemanía XXII.[173][174] In a press conference on August 14, Rodríguez acknowledged that WWE owned the Alberto Del Rio name and also revealed that he would be working for AAA under the new ring name El Patrón ("The Boss"). He was nicknamed this in WWE by Ricardo Rodriguez, during ring introductions and Spanish commentary, but it was not trademarked. Rodríguez also stated that for the moment he was under a 90-day no-compete clause, which would prevent him from wrestling for AAA.[15][175] He later also revealed that as part of his departure from WWE, Del Rio was banned from wrestling in the United States for one year.[8] On August 17 at Triplemanía XXII, El Patrón and his father Dos Caras appeared to open the show, speaking on coming to AAA and addressing WWE, claiming that the company was racist. They were interrupted by the Los Perros del Mal stable. After one of the members laid his hands on Caras, El Patrón ran after the stable and cleared house, while officials reminded him that he has the no-compete clause from the WWE.[176] The show ended with El Patrón attacking Los Perros del Mal leader El Hijo del Perro Aguayo, after his win in the main event.[177] In early September 2014, Rodríguez's lawyers had resolved his issues with WWE and he was no longer restricted by the 90-day no-compete clause.[178] On September 14, Rodríguez, now billed as "El Patrón Alberto", made his AAA in-ring return teaming with Myzteziz and La Parka in a six-man tag team main event, where they defeated Aguayo, Averno and El Texano Jr.[16] Alberto then began feuding with El Texano Jr. over the AAA Mega Championship.[179] On November 28, Ricardo Rodriguez made his AAA debut, once again becoming Alberto's personal ring announcer.[180] On December 7 at Guerra de Titanes, Alberto defeated El Texano Jr. to become the new AAA Mega Champion.[181] With the win, Rodríguez became the first wrestler to have held both the CMLL and AAA world heavyweight championships.[182] On May 24, 2015, Alberto came together with Myzteziz and Rey Mysterio Jr. to form the "Dream Team" for AAA's Lucha Libre World Cup.
