The Crash Lucha Libre has announced Alberto Del Rio – real name Alberto Rodriguez – has been suspended indefinitely in light of his domestic violence arrest in Mexico on Monday.

Rodriguez was arrested on Monday by State Civil Guards in San Luis Potosí after a call was placed by his wife, with officers arriving on scene to find him in the act of verbally and physically assaulting her and leaving visible injury to her arms and face. The State’s Attorney General’s Office confirmed on Tuesday it had opened an investigation into the former WWE and AAA wrestler and would be presenting its findings to the judicial authority at his first hearing.

The Crash Lucha Libre promotion, with which Rodriguez had made multiple appearances throughout this year so far, has also announced that it made the decision to suspend the wrestler indefinitely. In the announcement, Crash condemned any and all acts of violence outside of the sport, emphasizing it is a company that values presenting the sport in a family-friendly way.

“The Crash Lucha Libre is a company with values that promotes the sport in a family-friendly way, and condemns all acts of violence outside of sports, for this reason we will suspend Alberto Del Rio “El Patron” from our programming after the events that recently occurred,” the announcement read.

Rodriguez’s latest arrest comes after an arrest and indictment from 2020 for aggravated kidnapping and sexual assault, though the trial was delayed several times and he was ultimately acquitted of the charges in December 2021. He was suspended from AAA last year prior to his departure after an altercation with fans at a show.

AEW’s Tony Khan Comments On Being Involved In WWE Sale Process

As the WWE Shareholder lawsuit has continued forward, one of the biggest revelations to come out was that a company owned by AEW/Ring of Honor owner Tony Khan was one of the four bidders who attempted to acquire WWE in 2023. Shortly after the news broke, Khan revealed that his attempt to buy WWE would be one of two topics that he wouldn’t discuss for the rest of 2025.

That declaration lasted only a few weeks. Appearing on “Coach and Bro” with Jonathan Coachman and Vince Russo on Tuesday, Khan was asked by Coachman about his WWE bid. And Khan, surprisingly, gave an answer regarding why he decided to enter the fray.

“I was very interested in the process,” Khan said. “And I think if there was going to be a sale, I would at least want to have a chance to be involved. And if it had gone for any less than that, I would’ve really kicked myself.”

As to whether Khan noticed anything fishy with the bidding process, as has been alleged by the plaintiffs in the shareholder lawsuit, Khan seemed to dance around the question, citing confidentiality, instead focusing more his own thinking.

“While respecting the confidentiality of that, I would say I don’t have any complaints about that process from my side right now that I’d want to talk about right now ,” Khan said. “I do think there was some stuff to that, and while respecting the confidentiality of the whole thing, I also would say that, at the time, that seemed like, to me, just reiterating, if it had gone for any less, I would’ve really beaten myself up. Like ‘Why wouldn’t you put in a bid?’ I thought that was a very reasonable number that I put in.”

Triple H Says Vince McMahon Continued Influencing WWE Creative Behind The Scenes

Posted by admin on April 9th, 2026

Paul “Triple H” Levesque has opened up about the complicated path that led to him taking full control of WWE creative, revealing it was far from a straightforward transition.

Speaking on Cody Rhodes’ “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” podcast, Levesque was asked if WrestleMania 40 marked the first time he truly felt in charge as Chief Content Officer. While he agreed that it likely did, he made it clear there was never a clean break or single moment where everything shifted to him.

“I think so,” Levesque said. “Though, there was , and again, this is where I’m terrible with times , but it’s not like one day, ‘Here, it’s yours’ and everything else went away. There was so many aspects to that of, ‘Hey, Vince is stepping away. You’re going to take this spot, but he’s chiming in.’ And he [was] still meeting with me all the time and still, you know, directing traffic from the side. And there’s no real, it’s a weird, no real clear moment for me. But I would consider it that, yes.”

He went on to explain that the transition period created challenges behind the scenes, especially when it came to owning decisions that were not entirely his.

“At the end of the day, when people are like, ‘Yeah, but it’s your decision, right?’ Yeah, sort of,” Levesque said. “You know what I mean? Like you’re , yes, and you have to defend your position and you have to be able to sell that to people and explain it to people. If it’s a little bit not your position or a little bit, ‘Well, why did this happen?’ And you don’t want to say, ‘Well, because, you know, it wasn’t totally my decision.’”

Levesque also pointed out that fans often underestimate how complex WWE creative can be, noting that injuries and real-life tensions between talent can heavily impact what ultimately makes it to television.

He officially stepped into the Chief Content Officer role in 2022, during a turbulent period that saw Vince McMahon step away and later return before ultimately resigning in early 2024 following a lawsuit filed by Janel Grant. Recent reports have also highlighted internal concerns, including messages between Levesque and Nick Khan that suggested unease over McMahon’s lingering influence before his final exit.
