Ludwig Kaiser Motion To Dismiss Battery Case Denied - Fightful
Court records show the misdemeanor battery case will proceed after Kaiser’s defense argued he acted to protect himself and his girlfriend under state self-defense law.
- On Monday, October 19, a Florida judge denied WWE star Ludwig Kaiser's motion to dismiss a misdemeanor battery charge, ensuring the case will proceed through the legal system.

- Alleged victim Richard Reap reported Kaiser and Bazarte were "aggressively kissing" in an elevator and ignored his request to "please have some manners," though Kaiser claims Reap swore at them and referenced ICE.
- With the motion denied, a pre-trial conference is scheduled for December 17, 2026, when the state's surveillance footage and photos of Reap will inform next steps.
- Kaiser remains active as the AAA Mega Champion portraying El Grande Americano, while Reap's retention of a personal injury attorney suggests a potential civil suit may follow the criminal proceedings.
