Ludwig Kaiser, who performs as El Grande Americano on WWE SmackDown, was arrested on battery charges on May 20 in Orange County, Florida. He was bonded out on $1,000 bail.
Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp confirmed the arrest and pushed back on speculation about the nature of the charge. “The battery charge was against a male after an altercation. Not a domestic situation as some are speculating,” Sapp wrote.
Kaiser, whose real name is Marcel Barthel, competed in a tornado tag match on Monday’s Raw as El Grande Americano in a win over Chad Gable and the Creed Brothers.
