A major development has emerged following the recent arrest of Alberto Del Rio, as one of the promotions he has been working with has now issued an official response.
The situation stems from reports earlier this week that Del Rio — also known as Alberto El Patrón — was detained in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, after an alleged domestic violence incident. While the legal process is still ongoing, the wrestling world has already begun reacting.
The Crash Lucha Libre suspends Alberto Del Rio indefinitely
On April 8, The Crash Lucha Libre confirmed that it has suspended Del Rio from its programming following the arrest. The promotion released a public statement addressing the situation and outlining its stance.
“The Crash Lucha Libre is a company with values that promotes sport entertainment in a family way, and disapproves any act of violence,” the statement read. “For this reason we will suspend Alberto Del Río ‘El Patrón’ from our programming after the recent events.”
According to reports, the arrest followed a call to emergency services from Del Rio’s partner, who alleged physical and verbal assault.
Authorities reportedly observed visible injuries, and the State Attorney General’s Office has opened an investigation. As of now, no official charges have been confirmed, and the case remains under review.
Alberto Del Rio had been active on the independent circuit, including multiple appearances for The Crash this year. The suspension places his immediate wrestling future in uncertainty, particularly as promotions respond to the ongoing situation.
This is not the first time disciplinary action has followed controversy in his career. Previous incidents have led to suspensions across multiple promotions, though each situation has differed in outcome.
For now, The Crash’s decision reflects a clear organizational stance while the legal process continues. Further updates are expected as authorities move forward with their investigation and any potential proceedings.
