Alberto del Rio Arrested in Mexico Over Alleged Domestic Violence Incident
Former WWE champion Alberto del Rio has been reported to have been arrested in Mexico following allegations of domestic violence. The incident reportedly occurred in San Luis Potosi, where law enforcement detained the 48-year-old wrestler after he allegedly physically assaulted his wife.
According to a local outlet, the woman sustained injuries to her face and arms before calling 911 for assistance. Members of the State Civil Guard arrived at the scene and took the former WWE star into custody. This latest arrest marks another legal issue for Rodriguez, who has previously faced similar charges.

After posting $50,000 bail, he was later indicted by a grand jury on charges of aggravated kidnapping and sexual assault.
The trial faced multiple delays, but the charges were eventually dropped in December 2021. This recent incident adds to a pattern of legal challenges that have followed Rodriguez throughout his career.
