TNA alumnus Rhaka Khan’s lawsuit filed against multiple parties including the FBI, the State of Texas, various police departments, and a plethora of wrestling personalities and companies, is reportedly clear to move forward.
Pwinsider is reporting that Trenesha Biggers, who wrestled under the ring name Rhaka Khan in TNA and had a run in WWE’s developmental system, filed a lawsuit in October 2022 in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York claiming a conspiracy against her in relation to an ongoing Texas criminal case on charges of interference with child custody and aggravated kidnapping facilitate.
According to the site, the lawsuit was filed against dozens of parties that include wrestling legends, promoters, NBA legend Michael Jordan, several police departments, as well as Chris Benoit who has been dead for 16 years.
The 48-page lawsuit alleges that the defendants “conspired to kidnap plaintiff and her children” and the paperwork mostly consists of the list of defendants, some of whom have been listed multiple times.
The following individuals are on the list of 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, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, The Miz and Maryse, Heath Miller, Nikki Bella, Chris Benoit, Mark Jindrak, Panda Energy (the now-defunct company that owned TNA), Home Depot, Florida Championship Wrestling (also now defunct), Steve Keirn, The NWA, Billy Corgan, Deep South Wrestling (defunct), Bank of America, Michael Jordan, several universities, Jim Cornette, Mick Foley, New York City area energy company Con Edison and more.
The report suggests that there was no movement until February, as court records indicate that Biggers was allowed to move forward with the lawsuit with the pre-payment of court fees.
The former TNA wrestler was notified of the filing by mail at a home address listed in New York City. She is currently seeking $3 billion in damages, and the listed defendants are yet to be served.
It should also be noted that Biggers still has a bench warrant out for her arrest after failing to appear in December on the charges.
Biggers was indicted on the charges in August 2019 and was labeled as one of the most wanted fugitives in El Paso, Texas after failing to show up in court. She was finally arraigned the same year in December after no-showing two consecutive court appearances and having her bail revoked. The pandemic as well as her failure to turn up delayed her trial numerous times.
According to Texas law, 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.” The act is a felony and punishable by up to two years in prison.
