Ludwig Kaiser reportedly has no heat within WWE for recent arrest
Just days after WWE’s Ludwig Kaiser’s recent arrest in Orange County, Florida, a new report has emerged regarding his status within the promotion.
Kaiser, real name Marcel Barthel, was arrested for misdemeanor battery over an April incident in Orlando. According to the charges, Kaiser attacked the game after being called out by him due to getting intimate with a woman. The arrest and charges led to speculation regarding his ongoing push as El Grande Americano in AAA.
Now, a new report from Fightful Select notes that Kaiser currently has no heat within WWE over the arrest. Fightful’s sources within WWE believe that Kaiser will eventually be dismissed based on the information they’ve received.
Also, according to Fightful’s sources, the recent story about Kaiser defending himself and Andrea Bazarte from ICE comments was planted within WWE. After the ICE story became public, Fightful Select reports that an “unfamiliar number 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.”
Regarding the talent’s response, some found the “defense” narrative surrounding the incident unbelievable and felt that the 35-year-old should have simply removed himself from the situation.
Scheduled to face OG El Grande Americano in a mask vs. mask match at AAA Noche de Los Grandes, Kaiser is expected not to face any issues while travelling, following the clearance he received from the judge.
