AAA Announces Cancellation Of El Grande Americano (Marcel Barthel) Appearance

The cancellation of the El Grande Americano (Marcel Barthel) AAA appearance.

Lucha Libre AAA is moving towards the Noches de Los Grandes event on May 30th. The headlining bout of the show will be a Mask versus Mask match that will feature El Grande Americano (Ludwig Kaiser) versus Original El Grande Americano (Chad Gable).

On May 20th, it was made public that Marcel Barthel, a.k.a. Ludwig Kaiser, was arrested in Florida on a battery charge after a physical altercation with another male. He was scheduled to make a special appearance for AAA on May 21st, but the brand pushed out the announcement that the event had been cancelled.

The ‘Serenata for El Grande Americano’ event scheduled for tonight in Mexico City has been canceled. 

We appreciate your understanding.

The court documents have the following written about the incident:

“Entered the elevator and was followed by an unknown white male and an unknown white female. (Victim) stated that as the elevator ascended, the male and female began acting in an “uncontrollably intimate” manner, which he described as aggressively kissing.

(Victim) stated that once the elevator reached the 12th floor, he exited the elevator and told the couple to “please have some manners.” (Victim) advised that immediately after making the statement, the unknown male began attacking him. (Victim) described the attack as the male punching him multiple times and pushing him to the ground. (Victim) further stated the male made threats of additional violence toward him.”
