Ring of Honor has published a press release, accompanied by a video, confirming the signing of former WWE Champion, Alberto Del Rio, who now works under the name El Patron. It was reported yesterday in the Wrestling Observer that Del Rio had signed for ROH and that a promo announcing his signing was to feature on the Final Battle pay-per-view this past Sunday, but the promo never made it in time so ROH postponed the announcement.
