Alberto El Patron is interested in WWE return
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, El Patron claimed that fans wanted to see him back in WWE, and he would be interested in a return.
"I know people, they wanna see me. They wanna see me there again. They wanna see me facing the performers that are now in the company. They know I'm a workhorse. I don't stop. I was one of the ones who did 250 appearances per year, 260 appearances per year. Never getting hurt, always giving fantastic matches. An important wrestler for our industry," said the Mexican star.
