Alberto Del Rio appeared with AAA officials and wrestlers for a Ring & Rockstars 3 press conference today at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya to promote a September 14th event at the venue. This will be Del Rio’s official AAA return. He will team with La Parka and Myzteziz (the former Sin Cara) to face Texano Jr., Averno and El Hijo del Perro Arguayo.

Del Rio reportedly got the non-compete clause that WWE was trying to enforce thrown out. Here is a translated quote, courtesy of SuperLuchas.net:

“It is unconstitutional that you can not work … thanks to lawyers and support of AAA, I can fight without any problems.”

I had no idea wrestlers had non compete clauses, kind of a stupid thing to agree to really. especially with how fickle the 'E is.

Standard part of a WWE contract. The standard length is 90 days, blocks a wrestler from performing in a company that has a PPV and/or TV deal. They tried to make Del Rio's year long after his firing. But as seen above. He ain't give no fucks.

Shouldn't this be in the other wrestling section, seen as he ain't with WWE anymore? :jeritroll:

Jim Cornette would be proud as he once ranted about no-compete clauses and said how he'd love to see someone challenge them in court some day. From slapping the piss out of a Social Media Manager to having no-compete clauses thrown out of court, kudos for ADR for being a boss.

Huh. So it was that easy to get out of that clause? Guess WWE's law guys really aren't the best lol

Only other time something like this has happened was when Lesnar walked in 2004. He had a no compete clause stretching to 2010 because that was for how long his contract was. But he won a lawsuit and went on to wrestle in Japan for a while.

I always forget Brock went to Japan. any stand out matches from that run? he seems perfect for their style
