Alberto Del Rio Returns At Hell In A Cell 2015

John Cena had his open challenge at Hell in a Cell. It was answered by the returning Alberto Del Rio, who is now aligned with Zeb. Not only did Del Rio win the United States title, he did it cleanly.

On the one hand, justice is served. Alberto Del Rio was fired last year while standing up for himself against a racist WWE employee. If he had to be punished for that, fining him or suspending him would have been one thing. They fired him. He has continued to wrestle since then. The racism issue in the WWE was brought up with this whole situation. They bring him back, immediately give him a title, and even have him go over John Cena, the top star of the company. Pretty good return.

On the other hand, I would not have brought him back, yet. I like Alberto Del Rio. I think he's entertaining. But the WWE has an issue right now. They are not releasing workers on a consistent basis and they keep on hiring and bringing back all this talent, both for the main product and NXT. They are not efficient with the roster they have and they keep bringing in more guys. That is not a smart thing to do. The priority right now should be developing the stars they already have and becoming efficient again. Alberto Del Rio definitely deserved a return to the WWE. I would have just waited another year or so. He would have been about 40 by then, but he wouldn't exactly be a rookie. He has already held multiple World titles, as well as other accolades.

I have said that the only people the WWE should bring back are those sure to create a spark and draw for them. Seeing as how so many big part-timers cannot get the job done for them, I am starting to believe they shouldn't bring anyone else back for a while. As I said before, get efficient with the roster you have now first.

As far as bringing back people that can create a spark, I would say Alberto Del Rio does not fit in that category. I like the guy, but I cannot deny he didn't get as over as he should have with the way the WWE was pushing him in his previous run. A lot of fans are buzzing about what happened last night, but that will wear off. And what will you be left with? Another former World Champion in the midcard? He is there to draw in the Latino audience? There were guys already on the roster that could have done that. Instead of treating some of them better, the WWE brings in someone else. It will only be a matter of time before the WWE starts messing up with how they push Del Rio. That will not help them improve their numbers and energize those fans on a consistent basis.
