FORMER TNA STAR TOLD SHE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH LAWSUIT AGAINST DOZENS OF DEFENDANTS, INCLUDING WWE & IMPACT PERSONALITIES AND THE NWA, AMONG OTHERS

As previously reported on PWInsider.com, former TNA and WWE developmental star Trenesha "Rhaka Khan" Biggers filed a lawsuit back in October 2022 before The U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, claiming a conspiracy against her in relation to an ongoing Texas criminal case, listing, among others, as defendants: The State of Texas, The El Paso Child Protective Services, the FBI, The Las Cruces, New Mexico Police Department, The NYPD, The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, New York ACS, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., Shirley Police Department, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Suffolk County NY, The Rock, WWE personalities The Miz and Maryse, current Impact Wrestling star Heath Miller, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella, the late Chris Benoit, former WWE talent Mark Jindrak, the now-defunct Panda Energy (which once owned TNA/Impact), Home Depot, the now-defunct Florida Championship Wrestling, Steve Keirn, The National Wrestling Alliance, NWA President Billy Corgan, the now-defunct Deep South Wrestling, Bank of America, basketball star Michael Jordan, several Universities, Jim Cornette, Mick Foley, New York City area energy company Con Edison and countless others. 

The lawsuit alleges that the defendants all "conspired to kidnap plaintiff and her children."

There had been no movement on the case for months, but court records now indicate that in February, Biggers was authorized to move forward with the lawsuit without pre-paying any court fees.  Court records indicate she notified by mail of this developmental in March at a home address she lists in New York City on the lawsuit.  The 48-page lawsuit shows Biggers seeking $3 billion in damages.  The majority of the filing is a long list of defendants, some of whom are listed multiple times.

None of the defendants listed have been served as of this writing. 

Texas court records indicate that Biggers still has a bench warrant out for her after not appearing for a criminal trial in December 2022 in Texas, where she was to face charges of interference with child custody and "aggravated kidnapping facilitate."  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.   

In her lawsuit, Biggers makes reference to being taken to Riker's Island (a jail in NYC) after U.S. Marshalls arrived at her home in NYC to arrest her in October 2021, but that they failed to provide a "scintilla" of evidence in a hearing about her extradition.  She claims that the Judge overseeing the hearing ordered her released but the arrest and hearing allowed for the "kidnapping" of her children and that the law enforcement agencies involved "failed to intervene."

Biggers also cited that "the terroristic tactics, actions and events" have caused her to be unable to gain employment and has "destroyed her professional wrestling career."

Biggers had been indicted on those charges way back 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.  At a point, a bench warrant for her arrest was issued for missing a hearing but rescinded after she posted a $6,000 bond. 

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 criminal case, claiming her indictment was "fake" but later made the videos private.
