The complaint alleges that the former wrestling champion physically assaulted her, prompting law enforcement to intervene.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"655\" data-end=\"919\">Details surrounding the incident remain limited, but reports suggest that the detainment came shortly after the allegations were formally submitted. A purported mugshot of Del Rio has also surfaced on social media, further fueling public attention around the case.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"921\" data-end=\"1249\">Del Rio, whose real name is Jos\u00e9 Alberto Rodr\u00edguez, rose to global prominence after signing with <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">WWE<\/span><\/span> in 2009.
