News surfaced yesterday that WWE's Ludwig Kaiser had turned himself into police after hearing of an outstanding arrest warrant hanging over him. Kaiser, who also moonlights as El Grande Americano, flew back to Orlando from Mexico to deal with the situation.

TMZ has revealed more on the situation. They're reporting that Kaiser and an unnamed female became "uncontrollably intimate" after entering an elevator on 23 April. Below is a portion from the affidavit obtained by NoDQ.com:

"[The victim] stated he was battered by an unknown white male just outside the elevator on the 12th floor. [The victim] advised that at approximately 1830 hours, he entered the elevator and was followed by an unknown white male and an unknown white female. [The victim] stated that as the elevator ascended, the male and female began acting in an ‘uncontrollably intimate’ manner, which he described as aggressively kissing.

[The victim] stated that once the elevator reached the 12th floor, he exited the elevator and told the couple to ‘please have some manners.’ [The victim] advised that immediately after making the statement, the unknown male began attacking him. [The victim] described the attack as the male punching him multiple times and pushing him to the ground. [The victim] further stated the male made threats of additional violence toward him."

Meanwhile, @TheRajGiri on X is reporting Ludwig's side to the story. His post claims that Kaiser and his female friend were affectionate "but nothing crazy or out of the ordinary". It also alleges that the victim reportedly shouted something to the effect of, "You need to show some f’n respect before I call ICE on that bitch" after leaving the elevator.

Kaiser has posted a $1,000 bond. PWInsider reports that the wrestler's side has filed a motion to enable him to move freely both domestically and internationally despite the arrest. Currently, Ludwig (as Americano) is locked in a big time feud on AAA, and he's scheduled to work a 'Mask vs. Mask' match at AAA's Noche de los Grandes on 30 May.

Both sides of this story were always going to come out, and this probably isn't the last wrestling fans hear about it.
