Disturbing news has emerged out of Mexico involving former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio, real name Alberto Rodriguez, as multiple outlets are reporting that he has been arrested following an alleged domestic violence incident.
According to early reports from Milenio, which have since been echoed by other publications, Rodriguez was taken into custody in San Luis Potosí after an alleged altercation with his wife. Authorities claim the incident involved both physical and verbal abuse, with the victim reportedly sustaining visible injuries to her face and arms.
The situation escalated to the point where a 911 call was made, prompting State Civil Guard officers to respond. When officials arrived, they reportedly caught the incident in progress and observed signs of violence, leading to Rodriguez’s immediate arrest. He is now being held under the jurisdiction of the Attorney General’s Office in San Luis Potosí as the case moves forward.
This is not the first time Rodriguez has faced serious legal issues. Back in May 2020, he was arrested in San Antonio, Texas, following allegations that he assaulted and sexually abused his then-girlfriend. He was initially charged with sexual assault and assault causing bodily harm, later released on $50,000 bail. The case escalated to include aggravated kidnapping charges after a grand jury indictment, but after multiple delays, all charges were ultimately dropped in December 2021.
Rodriguez’s recent history in wrestling has also been turbulent. Prior to AAA’s acquisition by WWE, he had already been suspended from the promotion following an incident involving fans in Tijuana, which eventually led to his departure.
As of now, further details on the current case remain limited, but this is clearly a developing situation.
