Ludwig Kaiser, the WWE Superstar whose real name is Marcel Barthel, has filed a motion seeking access to medical records belonging to his accuser in an ongoing battery case, according to F4W Online. The outlet reported that a “Motion to Compel” was filed on November 10, with Kaiser’s defense asking the court to direct the Office of the State Attorney to provide the records.
The motion represents the latest step in a legal fight that has centered on what evidence the defense will be permitted to examine ahead of any trial. According to the report, Kaiser’s legal team believes the medical records are potentially important evidence in building its case, though the specifics of what the records are alleged to contain were not detailed in the filing as reported.
Ringside News reported separately that the accuser has moved to block the release of those medical records, objecting to prosecutors turning the material over to Kaiser’s defense. Per that outlet, prosecutors have declined to hand over the documents following the accuser’s objection, setting up a dispute over whether the court will order their release despite the accuser’s wishes.
The competing filings leave the matter in the hands of the court, which will need to weigh the defense’s request for evidence it considers necessary against the accuser’s objection to disclosing personal medical information. Neither report indicated when a ruling on the motion might be expected, nor did either outlet detail additional specifics of the underlying battery allegations beyond confirming the case remains active.
WWE has not issued public comment in connection with the court filings, and neither source indicated any change to Kaiser’s status with the company as the legal proceedings continue. The case remains ongoing, with the medical records dispute now serving as a central flashpoint in the pretrial process.
This story will be updated as additional details on the court’s handling of the motion become available.
