In May 2020, Alberto Del Rio was accused by his now ex-girlfriend of kidnapping and assaulting her, plus threatening to leave her young child in the street. After being indicted by a grand jury his trial was meant to start on January 25th, 2021 but was postponed until May 3rd, 2021. It’s now been confirmed that the trial has been delayed again and will now take place on August 2nd, 2021. It isn’t known as of writing why it was pushed back yet again.
With the alleged crimes taking place in Texas, Del Rio could be imprisoned for life if found guilty. The case, though, is complicated as Del Rio’s accuser has officially dropped the charges against him. He also claims no assault took place, and her son was not at the house at the time of their argument, which was caused by his infidelity. However, only the state can drop the case only, and clearly, they are progressing.
Del Rio is currently attempting to rebuild his career and recently returned to the wrestling ring and is now taking further bookings. A few days before this new trial date, he is scheduled to face Andrade in a high-profile match, which could be his final time competing for some time if he is sentenced.
