It is not the first time Rodriguez has been involved in this type of problem. In 2017, he was suspended by Impact Wrestling for domestic violence issues with his then-girlfriend, Paige (Saraya Bevis).
Rodriguez was also arrested on May 9, 2020, in San Antonio, Texas, after allegedly having sexually assaulted his girlfriend, according to local reports.

After leaving WWE again in 2016, "El Patron" went through the independent circuit, Impact Wrestling, and AAA before leaving the ring for good in 2025.
