Former professional wrestling champion Alberto Del Rio faces serious legal allegations in Mexico after reportedly being detained by law enforcement authorities on Monday in San Luis Potosí, a large state in central Mexico.
The detention followed a formal complaint filed by Del Rio's wife, who alleged that the former WWE star physically assaulted her. Multiple reports confirmed the arrest, and what appears to be a booking photograph has circulated on social media platforms.
Del Rio, whose real name is José Alberto Rodríguez Chucuan, holds a significant place in professional wrestling history. After signing with World Wrestling Entertainment in 2009, he achieved a groundbreaking milestone in 2011 by becoming the first Mexican wrestler to capture both the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship.
That same year marked additional career achievements for Del Rio. He became the first professional wrestler to win both the Royal Rumble and the Money in the Bank ladder match within a single calendar year, cementing his status as one of the sport's most accomplished performers during that period.
The allegations represent the latest legal difficulties for the wrestling personality, who has faced previous controversies during and after his tenure with WWE. The organization has not issued any public statement regarding the reported detention.
Domestic violence allegations carry serious legal consequences in Mexico, where authorities have strengthened enforcement measures in recent years. The case remains under investigation, and additional details regarding potential charges have not been publicly disclosed by Mexican law enforcement officials.
This situation continues to develop as authorities in San Luis Potosí proceed with their investigation into the allegations.
