Former WWE star Alberto Del Rio, also known as Alberto El Patron (real name Alberto Rodriguez), is once again in legal trouble following a domestic violence incident in Mexico.
According to reports, Rodriguez was arrested earlier in the week after his wife contacted emergency services. Authorities from the State Civil Guard responded to the call and reportedly caught the situation in progress, noting visible injuries to the victim, including marks on her arms and face.
Following his arrest, Rodriguez was taken into custody and held at La Pila prison while the State of San Luis Potosí’s Attorney General’s Office built the case. By Saturday, he was formally charged and appeared before a judge.
During the hearing, Rodriguez reportedly admitted wrongdoing and expressed remorse. The court granted him a conditional release, which comes with several strict requirements. These include attending rehabilitation programs for aggressors, having no contact with the victim, and covering damages related to the incident.
Reports also indicate that this was not an isolated situation, with prior alleged incidents contributing to the severity of the case.
As part of the resolution, Rodriguez agreed to pay approximately 1 million pesos to the victim, which factored into the judge’s decision to allow his release.
This marks another serious legal issue for the former WWE Champion. Fans may recall his 2020 arrest in San Antonio on charges of sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping. That case ultimately did not result in a conviction after the accuser failed to appear in court, and Rodriguez was acquitted in 2021.
Outside the courtroom, the fallout has already impacted his wrestling career. Rodriguez had previously been suspended from AAA following an incident involving fans in Tijuana. In light of this latest arrest, The Crash Lucha Libre has also suspended him.
With both legal and professional consequences mounting, Rodriguez’s future in the wrestling industry remains uncertain.
