Serious legal trouble is mounting for former WWE and AAA star Alberto Del Rio, as authorities in Mexico have now officially confirmed an investigation into his recent arrest.
The Attorney General’s Office of the State of San Luis Potosí announced that it has opened a case against Del Rio—real name Alberto Rodriguez—following his detention earlier this week on domestic violence charges.
Initial reports surfaced Monday indicating Rodriguez had been arrested after an alleged altercation with his wife. According to those reports, she contacted emergency services during the incident and was left with visible injuries to her face and arms.
Authorities say State Civil Guard officers arrived on the scene while the situation was still unfolding. Upon arrival, they reportedly found the victim showing clear signs of physical violence, leading to Rodriguez being taken into custody immediately.
In an official update, the Attorney General’s Office confirmed that the case has been handed over to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Attention to Women, Family and Sexual Crimes. The investigation will focus on both physical and verbal abuse allegations stemming from the incident.
According to the victim’s statement, the confrontation began inside a residence in the Lomas del Tecnológico neighborhood and escalated into multiple forms of assault.
Rodriguez is now under the authority of the Public Ministry, which will compile evidence and move the case forward. He is expected to appear before a judge in an initial hearing, where he will formally respond to the accusations.
This latest development adds to Del Rio’s long history of legal issues and controversy, and it remains to be seen how the case will unfold in the coming days.
