Biography

    If his personal ring announcer and fleet of luxury vehicles didn’t already clue you in, Alberto Del Rio is a Superstar of limitless resources. From his privileged upbringing to his meticulously groomed visage, everything about this south of the border autocrat exudes an, “I’m better than you” elitism.

    Born into Mexican nobility, Del Rio is the son of famous luchador Dos Caras, who is linked, by blood, to Spanish royals Ferdinand and Isabella. This may well explain his passion for culture and disdain for the working class.

    During the summer of 2010, Del Rio debuted in WWE, making an immediate impact on SmackDown by interrupting and insulting the 619’s own Rey Mysterio. Later that night, Del Rio backed up his bluster by making the former World Champion tap out to his signature cross armbreaker. Del Rio quickly followed up on his early success by winning several high-profile matches, including 2011’s 40-Man Royal Rumble Match and WWE Money in the Bank’s SmackDown Ladder Match that July. These triumphs were key in helping Del Rio fulfill his “destiny” at 2011’s SummerSlam, where he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to defeat CM Punk and become the first-ever Mexican-born WWE Champion.

    In October 2011, Alberto Del Rio captured championship gold a second time, in a Triple Threat Match against CM Punk and John Cena at WWE Hell in a Cell. In April 2012, Del Rio officially became a SmackDown Superstar. Day by day, The Mexican Aristocrat is proving that his unbounded talent, pride and aggression are more than just a formula for winning inside the ring, but the very “essence of excellence” in WWE.

    Although he suffered defeat against World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio proved he is in a class all his own by overcoming Kane, Daniel Bryan and Rey Mysterio in a Fatal 4-Way Match on SmackDown. The victory once again made The Mexican Aristocrat the No. 1 contender to the World Title. The following Monday, Del Rio defeated U.S. Champion Santinio Marella in a non-title match and declared he would not compete again until his match for the World Championship at SummerSlam.
