Alberto Del Rio Swaps The Ring For The Ranch: Catch Him On La Granja Vip!

From WWE to Farm Life: Alberto Del Rio’s Shocking New Gig

Hey, SoCal wrestling fans, brace yourselves - Alberto Del Rio, aka El Patron, has ditched the squared circle for something way more unexpected. After disappearing from AAA following a storyline firing and with no WWE comeback in sight, the former champ is keeping busy in a way that’s got us all doing a double-take. Forget body slams; this LA-adjacent icon is now knee-deep in farm chores!

Rumors of a wrestling return have been floating around like smog over the 405, but Del Rio’s current project is far from the ring. He’s a contestant on La Granja VIP, a Mexican reality show that’s basically Big Brother with a rustic twist. Think celebrities swapping red carpet glam for overalls, milking cows, and mucking stalls - and yeah, our boy Alberto is struggling to get the hang of those udders!

Milking Drama: Alberto’s Rough Start on the Farm

Filmed with all the grit and chaos you’d expect from a reality show, La Granja VIP kicked off on October 12, and Del Rio’s already finding out that farm life ain’t no walk down Hollywood Boulevard. The first challenge? A total bust for El Patron, who couldn’t quite wrangle a win. But with ten weeks of competition ahead and weekly eliminations, there’s plenty of time for him to turn this SoCal summer energy into farmyard finesse.

“I’ve taken down giants in the ring, but these cows might be my toughest opponents yet!” Alberto quipped during a confessional, showing that signature wrestler bravado even in the face of barnyard defeat.

He’s not alone in this wild ride, though. The show’s packed with a roster of Mexican celebs ready to battle it out for farm supremacy, including Alfredo Adame, Luis “Jawy” Méndez, Kimberly Shantal, Sandra Itzel, and a whole crew of personalities like Sergio Mayer Mori and Fabiola Campomanes. It’s a cast list longer than a line at In-N-Out on a Friday night!

Where to Watch Alberto’s Farmyard Fumbles

If you’re itching to see how a wrestling legend handles a pitchfork, you’re in luck. La Granja VIP offers a live feed on Disney+ and YouTube, so you can catch every muddy misstep from the comfort of your Venice Beach pad. Whether Alberto lasts the full ten weeks or gets voted off faster than a tourist on the Walk of Fame, this is one reality show with some serious Cali-curious appeal.

So, grab your popcorn - or maybe a glass of fresh milk - and tune in to see if Del Rio can trade his wrestling belt for a farmer’s hat. Will he conquer the ranch like he did the ring, or is this Malibu-style drama gonna send him packing? We’re rooting for you, El Patron, straight from the heart of LA!
