A new legal filing has revealed the extent of the injuries that Richard Reap, the alleged victim in a battery case against WWE’s Ludwig Kaiser, claims he suffered during their altercation. According to the filing, Reap alleges he sustained a torn rotator cuff and a concussion as a result of the incident.
The altercation between Kaiser and Reap is alleged to have taken place in April 2026. Kaiser, who performs under the ring name El Grande Americano in WWE, has been facing a battery case stemming from the incident.
The latest development in the case centers on a motion submitted by Kaiser and his defense team on November 12, 2026. In that motion, Kaiser’s attorneys asked the court to issue a subpoena that would grant them access to Reap’s medical records. That request appears to be a direct response to the injury claims Reap has put forward, as Kaiser’s legal team seeks to verify or scrutinize the medical basis for the torn rotator cuff and concussion allegations through the subpoenaed records.
The push for medical documentation suggests the case is moving into a phase where the specifics of Reap’s claimed injuries will become a central point of contention. Access to medical records could allow Kaiser’s defense to examine the treatment history, diagnosis, and timeline associated with the alleged rotator cuff tear and concussion, information that could prove significant as the battery case proceeds.
As of this report, the court has not ruled on the November 12 motion, and it remains unclear what additional legal steps will follow once a decision on the subpoena request is made. The case continues to work its way through the legal system, with the medical records dispute now serving as the latest flashpoint between the two parties.
WWE has not issued a public statement regarding the case, and there has been no indication that Kaiser’s in-ring status or scheduled appearances have been affected by the ongoing legal proceedings. We Are Wrestling will continue to monitor developments in the case and provide updates as further filings or rulings become available.
