Alberto El Patron is in a legal battle, after being sued earlier this year for injuring a man at a Karaoke bar in 2016.
According to court reports, El Patron attacked the man after showing his rear to customers.
“While returning to his table from the restroom, Plaintiff noticed the Defendant, JOSE ALBERTO RODRIGUEZ (El Patron), flashing his rear end to the other patrons in the establishment. Upon returning to his seat, which was close in proximity to that of the Defendant’s, an altercation broke out and the Defendant and the individuals that were present with the Defendant began to assault the Plaintiff, ALEX PARDO. As a result, Plaintiff had to receive immediate medical attention and was transported to the hospital by means of EMS for further examination.”
However, the former Del Rio is now claiming that he did not start the fight, but was protecting himself after a group of fans wanted a picture with his companion, who is presumably his then-girlfriend and current SmackDown Live general manager Paige.
“[Alberto] attempted at this time to resolve the issue without conflict and while he did exchange words with the people celebrating with the 19-year-old Patricia at an adult establishment it the Counter-Defendant Alex Pardo who threw a glass at the Counter-Plaintiff’s head causing severe injury, including multiple lacerations. The entire group with the Counter-Defendant began a huge melee and the entire establishment was in a brawl. Counter-Plaintiff slowly rose to his feet only to be rushed again by the Counter-Defendant. The Counter-Plaintiff immediately protected himself and defended against the Counter-Defendant as it was necessary to protect himself and his companions against the Counter-Defendant’s use of unlawful force.”
Pardo's lawyer has since left the case, causing El Patron's lawyer to file a motion for default judgement in his favor, as a deadline for Pardo to file legal documents has passed.
El Patron wants Pardo to pay $5,000 for "pain and suffering" as well as legal fees.
