The detention followed a call to emergency services made by his wife, who reported an alleged domestic violence incident.
Authorities responded to the call through the C5 system, leading to Del Rio’s apprehension at the scene. As of now, officials have not confirmed formal charges, and the case remains under active investigation.
Reports indicate that only limited information has been released publicly with images circulating on social media showing Del Rio in custody. However, no official statement has clarified the next steps in the legal process or whether charges will be filed.
This latest development adds to a history of prior legal issues involving the former WWE star.

Earlier incidents, including investigations and altercations in different countries, have also been documented throughout his career.
At present, authorities have not provided further updates regarding his legal status. The investigation remains ongoing, and additional details may emerge as the process continues.
Del Rio, known to wrestling fans as “El Patrón,” has remained active in public appearances and media projects in recent years. With this situation now unfolding, attention turns to how the case develops in the coming days.
