Former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio was released from jail in San Luis Potosí on April 11, 2026, after reaching a substantial financial settlement with his wife in a high-profile domestic violence case. According to elmananaslp.com.mx, the 48-year-old, whose real name is José Alberto Rodríguez, paid approximately $56,000 in compensation, securing her legal pardon and his conditional freedom. While a judge found enough evidence for trial on repeated family violence charges, the case has been suspended for six months under strict court supervision and compliance conditions.
“As part of the agreements, the payment of one million one hundred thirty thousand pesos was established as reparations for the damage, in addition to the granting of a legal pardon by the victim, which allowed the conditional suspension to proceed. Judge Paulo César Ramiro Zúñiga ordered the immediate release of the accused in this criminal case, under the condition of complying with various measures for a period of six months, in accordance with Article 195 of the National Code of Criminal Procedures.” – elmananaslp.com.mx
