The misdemeanor battery case against WWE and AAA talent Ludwig Kaiser has moved forward with a new evidence filing. On October 26, 2026, a “Notice of Supplemental Discovery” was entered into the court record, making redacted medical records available to Kaiser’s defense team.
Kaiser, whose real name is Marcel Barthel and who also performs as El Grande Americano, is facing a misdemeanor battery charge stemming from an alleged altercation with a man identified as Richard Reap. According to reports, the incident took place at an Orlando, Florida apartment complex in April 2026, following accounts that Kaiser and a woman had been acting “uncontrollably intimate” before the confrontation with Reap occurred. The medical records now entering the case are presumed to pertain to Reap, the alleged victim in the matter.
Alongside the records disclosure, prosecutors with the State of Florida have asked Kaiser’s defense team to provide a blank DVD so that the latest batch of evidence can be formally transferred. The procedural request underscores that the case remains in an active evidence-gathering phase rather than moving toward resolution.
This update follows Kaiser’s defense team previously failing in an attempt to get the misdemeanor charge dismissed outright, meaning the battery charge continues to work its way through the Florida court system. The entry of medical records as evidence suggests the physical details of the alleged altercation will play a role as the case progresses, though no court date, plea, or additional charges have been reported in connection with this latest filing.
Kaiser has continued to perform for WWE and AAA throughout the legal proceedings, with no indication from the supplied reports that his in-ring status under either the Ludwig Kaiser or El Grande Americano persona has been affected by the case. As of this filing, no trial date or further scheduling details have been made public, and the case remains ongoing as both sides prepare evidence ahead of future proceedings.
