Update on the Status of Alberto El Patron’s GFW Suspension

July 26, 2017

GFW officials Bruce Prichard and Dutch Mantell participated in a GFW media conference call today, and during the call Mantell had the following to say on Alberto El Patron’s current GFW suspension:

“We’re doing an internal review of it because it’s something we don’t take lightly. When that’s completed, we will release our findings.”

Mantell confirmed that El Patron is not a suspect in the domestic incident which took place several weeks ago at the Orlando airport, and involved injured WWE star Paige. Mantell added he does not believe the Orlando Police Department will be charging El Patron following completion of the investigation.

El Patron has been suspended indefinitely from GFW since July 12th.
