José Alberto Rodríguez Chucuan (born 25 May 1977) is a Mexican-American professional wrestler, professional wrestling promoter, sports commentator, and mixed martial artist, currently signed to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) as a commentator. In professional wrestling, he is best known for his time in WWE under the ring name Alberto Del Rio, and Impact Wrestling under the ring name Alberto El Patrón.
Before working for WWE, Rodríguez used the name Dos Caras Jr. as both a mixed martial artist and luchador in mostly Mexico and Japan, achieving success in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) by winning the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship once. Rodríguez signed with WWE in 2009 and made his debut on their main roster the following year as Alberto Del Rio. In WWE, he became the first Mexico-born world champion in WWE history after he won the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship twice each. He also won the 2011 Royal Rumble and the 2011 Money in the Bank ladder match, making him the only professional wrestler to win both in the same calendar year.
Rodríguez departed WWE in 2014 and wrestled as Alberto El Patrón in other promotions such as Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), Ring of Honor (ROH), Lucha Underground, Japanese and Puerto Rican promotions, and various United States independent promotions. In AAA, he won the AAA Mega Championship once. He returned to WWE in 2015, winning the United States Championship twice, before departing again in 2016. He subsequently signed with Impact Wrestling and won the Impact World Championship title at Slammiversary XV. In professional wrestling he is the only man in history to have been WWE, (WWE) World Heavyweight, Impact World, GFW Global, AAA Mega, and CMLL World Heavyweight Champion.
Born in San Luis Potosí into one of the most well known Mexican wrestling families, his father is noted luchador Dos Caras, while his uncles are Mil Máscaras and Sicodelico. His cousins, Sicodelico Jr. and Hijo de Sicodelico, are also wrestlers. His younger brother Guillermo signed a WWE contract in August 2012 and was assigned to the promotion's developmental territory NXT under the ring name Memo Montenegro, but was released in July 2013.
Rodríguez graduated from Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí where he earned a degree in architecture.
After making his professional wrestling debut in 2000, Dos Caras Jr. decided to try his hand at mixed martial arts (MMA). Dos Caras most notably faced Mirko Cro Cop in the Pride Fighting Championships promotion, losing by first-round head kick knockout.
In March 2022, it was reported that Rodríguez had signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) as a Spanish-language commentator. He debuted for the promotion on 19 March at their UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Aspinall event.
Rodríguez was previously married to Angela Velkei, with whom he has three children. Velkei filed for divorce from Rodríguez in June 2016 and stated that the marriage ended the previous month due to adultery. On 28 April 2022, Del Río shared a video in which he was asking for multiple blood donations in order to save Angela Velkei from dying, without explaining which was the health problem she was dealing with for which she was hospitalized on the Hospital San José in Satélite, Naucalpan, State of Mexico. On 2 May of the same year, Del Río reported on his social media that Velkei had died.
In May 2016, Rodríguez and fellow professional wrestler Saraya-Jade Bevis, better known as Paige, went public with their relationship. The two became engaged in October 2016. They split up in late 2017. On 14 July 2021, during an interview with Hannibal TV, Rodriguez made threats to expose Paige her for previous arrests and also made claims of domestic violence against her.
Rodríguez owned a restaurant in San Antonio, Texas named La Cantinita, which opened in 2016. However, the restaurant closed in November 2017.
On 24 May 2018, Rodríguez became a naturalized citizen of the United States.
Rodríguez was arrested on 9 May 2020, in San Antonio, Texas after allegedly battering and sexually assaulting his girlfriend.

Rodríguez was later released on $50,000 bail at approximately 3:30 A.M. on 10 May.

Rodriguez's trial was delayed several times, until the charges were ultimately dropped on 10 December 2021. |
