Former WWE star Alberto Del Rio was arrested for alleged domestic violence in Mexico, according to multiple reports.
The 48-year-old Del Rio, whose real name is Alberto Rodriguez, was reportedly detained by police in the capital of San Luis Potosí for allegedly assaulting his wife, who called 911 and filed a complaint that the former four-time world champion in WWE beat her.
