WWE star Ludwig Kaiser, 35, has landed in legal trouble after an elevator make-out session reportedly spiraled into a physical fight with a neighbor. According to an arrest report obtained by TMZ, the WWE personality—whose real name is Marcel Barthel—was arrested on Wednesday on a misdemeanor battery charge following an altercation inside a luxury apartment building in Orlando, Florida. A neighbor told police he entered an elevator where Kaiser and his girlfriend were already riding when the couple allegedly began what the report described as an “uncontrollably intimate” make-out session in the cramped elevator. The situation reportedly escalated after the group exited on the 12th floor and the neighbor asked the wrestler to “please have some manners.” Kaiser allegedly responded by striking the man and shoving him to the floor, according to the report. Authorities later identified Kaiser through security footage before booking him into Orange County Jail, where he was later released on a $1,000 bond. The arrest comes just weeks before Kaiser’s May 30 match in Monterrey, Mexico, against Chad Gable in a storyline showdown centered around the pair both using the “El Grande Americano” name, with Gable billing himself as the “Original” version of the character.
