AAA Cancels El Grande Americano Appearance Following Arrest of Ludwig Kaiser

As previously reported, WWE Superstar Ludwig Kaiser, who also wrestles in WWE and AAA as El Grande Americano II, was arrested yesterday (May 20) on a battery charge in Orlando, Florida. He was later released from jail following a $1,000 bond. In a post on AAA’s Instagram Stories, AAA announced that an event featuring El Grande Americano was cancelled.

The announcement reads (h/t to Fightful for the translation), “The ‘Serenata for El Grande Americano’ event scheduled for tonight in Mexico City has been canceled. We appreciate your understanding.”

El Grande Americano II and Original El Grande Americano (aka Chad Gable) were scheduled to face off in a Mask vs. Mask match on May 30 at AAA Noche De Los Grandes in the main event. AAA and WWE have not made any announcements on the status of the matchup following Kaiser’s arrest.

Earlier today, Kaiser’s advocate filed an application to the court requesting permission to grant Kaiser to freely travel, as his work requires him to travel in and outside the U.S. Additionally, it’s said that Kaiser was in Mexico when he learned about his arrest warrant.

The affidavit on the incident alleged that Kaiser punched an individual and threatened an individual with more violence after the male individual objected to Kaiser and an unidentified woman engaging in an “uncontrollably intimate” manner in an elevator.
