As per Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Del Rio has been telling people that he will return to WWE after his current legal disputes are over. He was accused by his ex-girlfriend San Antonio for kidnapping and also sexual assault, later she took back her complaints but it was too late as courts and police got involved.

Del Rio has faith that he be free of charges but this will take time. While his return to the WWE seems very unlikely but it is not impossible. The company will have to take a big risk if and when it decides to bring back Del Rio.
