48-year-old Del Rio, whose real name is José Alberto Rodríguez Chucuan, has a history of legal troubles. His most serious case came in May 2020 when he was arrested in San Antonio, Texas, and later indicted on one count of aggravated kidnapping and four counts of sexual assault following accusations from an ex-girlfriend. However, the charges were eventually dismissed in December 2021 after a key witness, believed to be the victim herself, failed to appear in court. This allowed him to resume his career in Mexico, but he remains persona non grata with major promotions in the United States.
