Former TNA Wrestling star Trenesha Biggers—known in the ring as Rhaka Khan—was arrested in New York City on Saturday after allegedly refusing to leave her former apartment building following an eviction.

According to law enforcement sources via TMZ, Biggers was taken into custody around 11:30 AM after officers were called to a Midtown Manhattan apartment complex. Tenants reported that Biggers remained on the premises despite being previously served with an eviction order, triggering a criminal trespass charge.

Authorities say she was escorted from the building without incident. Biggers was then transported to the 17th precinct, where she remained in custody as of Saturday afternoon.

Neighbors told police this wasn’t the first time there’s been trouble involving Biggers at the property. Some residents claim she’s caused ongoing disruptions in recent months, and the tension reportedly reached a breaking point over the weekend.

Rhaka Khan was a familiar face to TNA fans in the late 2000s, appearing as part of the Knockouts Division. She made her debut in 2008 and was often featured in storylines alongside notable names like Awesome Kong, Scott Steiner, and Booker T. Though she never held a championship during her time in TNA, her presence was unmistakable thanks to her height, athleticism, and imposing persona. Her wrestling career slowed down shortly after 2009, and she has remained largely out of the ring since.

But her time in the headlines hasn’t just been about wrestling. In October 2023, Biggers made national news after a federal judge in the Southern District of New York dismissed her lawsuit that claimed a massive conspiracy against her involving over 500 defendants. The list included a staggering range of names—from WWE and Impact Wrestling personalities like The Miz, Nikki Bella, and Heath Miller to celebrities like Michael Jordan and Chris Benoit, as well as law enforcement agencies, child protective services, fraternities, and even companies like Home Depot and Con Edison.

The lawsuit alleged that all of these individuals and entities conspired to kidnap Biggers and her children. The court threw out her filing, stating it failed to follow federal procedure. Her complaint spanned 171 pages, far beyond the 20 pages she was encouraged to limit it to, and the court found it lacked a valid legal claim. She also attempted to have the presiding judge recused by alleging they were former roommates—an accusation the judge denied.

This wasn’t her first time filing such claims. Her original lawsuit was dismissed in June 2023, and her amended version met the same fate. Biggers had requested $3 billion in damages but never served a single defendant. Court records noted that she had been allowed to proceed without prepaying fees, and she was informed of developments by mail at a New York City address.

Legal issues have followed Biggers for years. Texas court records show that she still has an active bench warrant related to criminal charges in El Paso, including interference with child custody and aggravated kidnapping to facilitate. She was indicted in 2019 but failed to appear in court multiple times, leading to her being listed among El Paso’s most wanted fugitives. Though she was eventually arraigned and briefly posted bond, she missed additional court appearances and continues to face unresolved charges.

Biggers has also claimed in her filings that she was previously taken to Rikers Island by U.S. Marshals in 2021, stating she was released after no evidence was provided at her extradition hearing. She argues that her children were taken from her during this time and that the trauma destroyed her wrestling career and ability to find work.

With her latest arrest, it’s unclear what legal consequences she’ll face next, but local authorities appear to be taking the situation seriously.

Do you think Rhaka Khan’s arrest signals deeper trouble, or was this just a case of not letting go? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
