WWE performer Ludwig Kaiser (Marcel Barthel) was arrested on Wednesday on a charge of battery.

The site Recently Booked listed Barthel’s arrest, stating he was booked at 2:37 p.m. on Wednesday in Orange County, Florida, with the charge described as battery.

Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reports that the battery charge was “against a male after an altercation. Not a domestic situation as some are speculating.”

The bond was listed at $1,000.

Barthel performs as El Grande Americano and is scheduled for a Mask vs. Mask match with Chad Gable on May 30 at AAA’s Noche De Los Grandes in Monterrey, Mexico.

POST Wrestling has reached out to WWE for a comment and will update if there is a response.
