TRIAL FOR FORMER TNA STAR PUSHED BACK A TENTH TIME

By Mike Johnson on 2022-10-24 16:17:00

Court records indicate that the trial for former WWE developmental and Impact Wrestling star Trenesha Daniyall Biggers aka Rhaka Khan stemming frim charges of interference with child custody and "aggravated kidnapping facilitate" has been delayed a tenth time.   The trial had been slated to begin 11/14, but instead will now commence 12/5.  There is a pre-trial hearing on 11/21.

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.  At one point, a bench warrant for her arrest was issued for missing a hearing but rescinded after she posted bond.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 numerous time due to the slowdown in the court system brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Biggers' attorney had requested to be removed from the case in August with a new attorney later taking up her defense.
