World Wrestling Entertainment filed for and received an order of protection against Armando Alejandro Montalvo, the man who was shot and arrested outside the WWE Performance Center in Florida in August 2015. According to TMZ.com, which first reported the story, Montalvo took to social media on 4/4 with what was believed to be a threat against the company, leading to WWE rushing to receive an order of protection against him.
In August 2015, Montalvo was arrested for trespassing after being warned to leave WWE property, leading to WWE seeking and receiving an injunction against him in an attempt to keep him from trespassing on the WWE Performance Center property in Orlando, Florida as there had been multiple incidents of Montalvo showing up demanding a job, threatening talent and even throwing and smearing feces on the Performance Center building.
Undeterred, Montalvo returned to the PC on 8/31/15. Video footage that was featured in local media showcased Montalvo acting out as if he was a wrestling performer while banging on the doors and demanding to be trained by the company. When local police showed up, Montalvo engaged them and ended up shot. He was hospitalized and later charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest and trespassing. Montalvo plead not guilty to all charges.
During a Sheriff's media conference following the 2015 incident, Montalvo was described as being "fixated" on a female WWE performer.
Prior to his arrest at the WWE PC, Montalvo had been previously arrested for battery on a person 65 years or older, violating a domestic injunction, fraud, and assault on a law enforcement officer. Montalvo was also arrested in 2017 in Orlando, Florida outside the Independent Bar and charged with battery after he took a vacuum hose and put one end in his pants and the other up a woman’s skirt. He was taken into custody and at the time, it was ruled that the incident resulted in a violation of his previous bond from the Performance Center arrest.
In a February 2017 court hearing, Montalvo's father stated in court that his son suffers from borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia, and without his medication, he tends to have outbursts. Montalvo had claimed in court that he was actually the victim in the situation, since he had been shot by police.
Despite being ordered to stay away from the WWE Performance Center, Montalvo was seen outside at a recent WWE NXT taping in Full Sail University ranting and raving, challenging WWE and Vince McMahon, before jumping into a car and driving off before security could confront him. He has also continued to post videos related to WWE on social media platforms.
