This marks the second domestic violence arrest for the former WWE Champion. In May 2020, Del Rio was arrested for allegedly battering and sexually assaulting his girlfriend, facing charges of sexual assault and assault causing bodily harm.
He was later indicted by a grand jury and formally charged with aggravated kidnapping and sexual assault. Those charges were dropped in December 2021.
Del Rio remains active on the independent wrestling circuit, primarily competing in Mexico. He was reportedly planning to open a new promotion prior to this arrest.
