Former WWE developmental talent and Total Nonstop Action (TNA) wrestler Trenesha Biggers, better known to fans as Rhaka Khan, was arrested in New York City on July 25, 2025, with authorities filing multiple charges against her spanning two separate cases, according to sources close to the situation and confirmed by PWI Insider[4][5]. This development marks the latest chapter in the troubled legal history of Biggers, who last competed professionally in 2011.

Arrest Details and Charges

Biggers was taken into custody at a Midtown Manhattan apartment building after reportedly violating an eviction order. Law enforcement officials responded to tenant complaints notifying officers of her presence despite a prior eviction notice[2][3]. Surveillance photos captured by TMZ showed Biggers being escorted from the premises by NYPD officers before being transported to the 17th precinct, where she remained detained as of July 27[1][3].

Two distinct legal cases have been filed against her:

• Trespassing Case: Biggers faces three misdemeanor counts related to criminal trespass after remaining on the property without permission following eviction[4][5].

• Second Case: Additional charges reportedly include a felony, the exact nature of which remains under review as authorities continue investigations[5].

Sources within the NYPD and legal observers involved describe the trespassing as a breach of court-ordered eviction, exacerbated by multiple prior incidents of similar nature at the same address. Neighbors expressed frustration, noting this was not her first disturbance in the building[2][3].

Biggers’ Wrestling Career and Past Legal Issues

Trenesha Biggers began her wrestling career in WWE’s developmental system in 2006 but never reached WWE’s main roster. She gained greater recognition in TNA under the ring name Rhaka Khan from early 2008 through late 2009. During her TNA tenure, she allied with notable talents such as Scott Steiner, Petey Williams, and Awesome Kong[2].

Since leaving active competition, Biggers has faced a series of legal challenges. Notably, in 2023, she filed an extensive federal lawsuit in the Southern District of New York that alleged a broad conspiracy against her involving numerous parties, including wrestling promotions like WWE and Impact Wrestling, multiple high-profile wrestlers, organizations, and even some universities and fraternities. This suit was dismissed by U.S. District Court Judge Laura Taylor Swain, citing insufficient grounds[x1][1].

Industry Reaction and Background

Fightful and WWE insiders confirm that Biggers has been largely absent from the professional wrestling spotlight since the early 2010s. Sources close to WWE indicated that while Biggers showed potential during her developmental days, ongoing personal and legal issues prevented her from reaching those higher levels within the company.

An industry veteran familiar with the situation commented, “It’s always unfortunate to see former talent struggle like this. Trenesha was a gifted athlete but clearly has been going through some tough personal battles post-wrestling. The multiple charges complicate things further, and hopefully, she gets the help she needs.”

Legal Proceedings and What’s Next

Biggers is expected to appear in New York courts in the coming days where the trespassing misdemeanor charges and additional felony allegations will be formally addressed. Legal analysts note that the multiple cases could lead to a protracted legal battle given Biggers’ previous litigious history[4][5].

This recent arrest and filings reaffirm the challenges that some wrestlers face transitioning out of in-ring careers, particularly those who rise through developmental systems but do not secure long-term contracts or mainstream success. According to legal experts, eviction-related criminal charges remain common in densely populated urban areas like New York City, especially when prior eviction notices have been ignored.
