Ludwig Kaiser Set for Pre-Trial Hearing in Battery Case in July

In an update on the ongoing Ludwig Kaiser battery situation, new details have surfaced on his pre-trial hearing (h/t Fightful). Per the Orange County Clerk Circuit Court, Kaiser’s (real name Marcel Barthel) is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing on July 16.

As previously noted, the judge recently approved a motion to allow Barthel to travel within the USA and internationally during the trial. Also, fellow WWE Superstar, Gunther, reportedly paid Kaiser’s bond for his release after his arrest. The cash appearance record listed Gunther, Kaiser’s formal stablemate in Imperium, under his real name, Walter Hahn. Hahn deposited the $1,000 and signed the document.

For now, Kaiser will take part in AAAA Noches de Los Grandes on Saturday, may 30. As El Grande Americano II, he will face Chad Gable, Original El Grande Americano, in a Mask vs. Mask Match.
