FORMER TNA STAR STANDING TRIAL NEXT MONTH

Court records indicate former WWE developmental and Impact Wrestling star Trenesha Daniyall Biggers aka Rhaka Khan will stand trial on 7/22 before the 409th District Court in El Paso, Texas on charges of interference with child custody and "aggravated kidnapping facilitate." 

Biggers was indicted in August 2019, leading to her being listed as one of El Paso’s most wanted fugitives after failing to appear in court. There are two court instances where her no-shows led to her bail being revoked. She was finally arraigned in December 2019.   Biggers is being represented by a public defender.  Several weeks ago, a bench warrant for her arrest was issued for missing a hearing but rescinded after she posted bond.

In the State of Texas, interference with child custody is when someone "takes or retains a child when that person knows that the taking or detention of the child violates a judgment or order."  It is considered a state jail felony and can be punishable by up to two years in prison.   

Biggers last wrestled in 2011 for the now-defunct Lucha Libre USA promotion, which aired on MTV.  Biggers was part of the 2005 WWE Diva Search and was signed to a developmental contract after failing to make it past the top 25 contestants in the search.  She was sent to Deep South Wrestling but was released in May 2006.  She worked for a number of independent promotions and in Japan before signing with Impact Wrestling in 2008, departing that promotion in 2009.  She worked for Lucha Libre USA in 2010 and 2011.

Biggers had been posting videos to YouTube in relation to her case, claiming her indictment was "fake" but later made the videos private.

The trial had been pushed back eight times due to the slowdown in the court system brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
