Former WWE star Alberto Del Rio is reportedly facing serious legal trouble in Mexico after being detained by authorities in connection with an alleged domestic assault case.
According to multiple reports, Del Rio was taken into custody in San Luis Potosí earlier this week following a complaint filed by his wife. The complaint alleges that the former wrestling champion physically assaulted her, prompting law enforcement to intervene.
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.
Del Rio, whose real name is José Alberto Rodríguez, rose to global prominence after signing with WWE in 2009. He quickly became one of the company’s top stars, making history in 2011 by becoming the first Mexican wrestler to win both the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship.
That same year marked the peak of his in-ring career, as he also achieved the rare feat of winning both the Royal Rumble and the Money in the Bank ladder match — a milestone few wrestlers have accomplished in WWE history.
While Del Rio has faced controversies in the past, this latest development adds to a growing list of legal and personal issues that have followed him in recent years.
As of now, there has been no official statement released by Del Rio or his representatives regarding the allegations. Authorities are expected to continue their investigation as more details emerge.
