DEVON HANNIBAL NICHOLSON ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT, WILL STAND TRIAL NEXT MONTH

Independent wrestler Devon Hannibal Nicholson will stand trial on 10/12 in Kingston, Ontario Canada on charges of assaulting a woman last month, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

Nicholson has been incarcerated since being arrested and went before the Ontario Court of Justice this morning at 9 AM for a bail hearing.  His YouTube account shows he was in Kingston on 8/20 with his girlfriend.  He was originally listed on the court docket on 8/29, so the incident happened within that time frame.

Nicholson has been released under the supervision of his parents and must either stay with them or contact them daily, has been ordered to have no contact with the victim and will have to abide by a nightly curfew.

Nicholson made waves in December 2021 for causing a referee in Texas to need emergency surgery after bloodying him with a spike.  The promoters of WCPW claimed that Nicholson went into business for himself.  He did not return to the promotion.

Nicholson is best known for suing WWE Hall of Famer Abdullah the Butcher, claiming Abdullah bladed him without his knowledge or permission during a bout, leading to Nicholson contracting Hepatitus C and missing a chance to land a WWE developmental deal.  Nicholson was awarded a judgment in that lawsuit but is unknown whether he collected them.
