The latest on Ludwig Kaiser.
Ludwig Kaiser aka El Grande Americano was arrested on battery charges following an incident in April.
It was reported by False Finish that WWE management isn’t expected to discipline him at this time. Beyond that, Fightful Select has spoken to a number of sources within the company that believe the story about him defending himself and Andrea Bazarte from ICE comments was planted within WWE. There was an unfamiliar number that reached out to several members of the wrestling media with the story, as opposed to Kaiser or Andrea themselves, or a member of WWE’s team.
Those we spoke to in WWE also expect that the charges will eventually be dismissed, based on information they’ve received. Kaiser doesn’t have any heat within the company among those that we spoke to, and WWE was filled in with the details by the night of the arrest.
As far as talent reaction, some were in disbelief of the narrative that was put out about the situation being a “defense,” and said Kaiser should have just removed himself from the situation.
Kaiser is not expected to have any issues traveling for shows now that clearance has been provided by a judge. WWE did not expect him to miss his upcoming mask vs. mask match with El Grande Americano regardless.
