After facing sexual assault allegations, David Del Rio reportedly filed an arbitration claim against CBS Studios over his termination. His attorney Shawn Holley later said that he has taken action to address false and misleading allegations that cost him his profession and reputation. As per Variety, the attorney stated, "At the arbitration, Mr Del Rio will present real-time text communications and evidence that directly contradicts prior public characterisations of the interaction at issue. This evidence was not fully considered before adverse employment action was taken."

“Mr Del Rio looks forward to resolving this matter through the appropriate legal forum and has faith that a full evidentiary review will establish the truth and restore his professional reputation,” Holley said.
