Ludwig Kaiser returned to Mexico this week under the El Grande Americano mask following his recent arrest in Florida, and the WWE star quickly received public support from someone close to him as the situation continues to draw attention ahead of AAA’s upcoming major event.
The former Imperium member appeared at the rescheduled “Serenata for El Grande Americano” event on May 22 at the Kings League Dome in Mexico City.
While fans welcomed Kaiser back south of the border, his girlfriend, Andrea Bazarte, also broke her silence online with a message that turned heads.
Bazarte shared footage of Kaiser greeting fans and wrote, “Soy tu fan #1 por siempre ?” (“I’m your number one fan forever.”). It was a strong show of support during a week that has been anything but tranquilo for the WWE star.
Ludwig Kaiser cleared to return to Mexico after arrest
Kaiser, whose real name is Marcel Barthel, was arrested on May 20 in Orange County, Florida, on a misdemeanor battery charge.
According to reports, the incident stemmed from an April confrontation at his Orlando apartment complex involving another resident.
Police documents stated the alleged victim told Kaiser and Bazarte to “have some manners” after seeing them kissing inside an elevator.
The situation allegedly escalated afterward, with claims that Kaiser punched and shoved the man following the exchange.
Kaiser later turned himself in after learning about the warrant while in Mexico for WWE and AAA appearances.
He pleaded not guilty and was released after posting a $1,000 bond. Reports also noted that his legal team requested permission for him to continue traveling internationally for work purposes.
Despite the controversy, Kaiser is still scheduled to face Chad Gable in a Mask vs. Mask match at AAA Noche de los Grandes on May 30 in Monterrey.
For now, it appears El Grande Americano has avoided being counted out — both legally and professionally.
