Former TNA Wrestling star Rhaka Khan, whose real name is Trenesha Biggers, was arrested in New York City on Friday, July 25, following a criminal trespassing incident.

According to TMZ, the 43-year-old was taken into custody by NYPD officers around 11:30 a.m. after being found at her former apartment building in Midtown Manhattan.

Biggers had reportedly been evicted from the building but returned without authorization.

Multiple tenants told TMZ that this was not the first time she had caused issues on the premises. She was handcuffed and escorted out of the building before being booked at the NYPD’s 17th Precinct later that afternoon.

As of this writing, it remains unclear whether she was released or is still in custody. The NYPD did not respond to TMZ's requests for comment.

Rhaka Khan rose to fame in the world of professional wrestling in the mid-2000s. She began her career in the 2005 WWE Diva Search, competing under her real name before being released in 2006.

Biggers then worked the independent wrestling circuit for two years before signing with Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling in 2008. She wrestled under the ring name Rhaka Khan until her release in October 2009. She later appeared in Lucha Libre USA, where she competed until she retired from wrestling in 2011.

This recent arrest is not her first brush with the law.

In 2009, Biggers filed a protection from abuse order against her then-boyfriend, WWE star Kurt Angle, which led to his temporary removal from his home. Biggers' issues with Angle were often part of her larger wrestling storyline, but that order was later voluntarily withdrawn.

In 2019, she was placed on the El Paso, Texas, Most Wanted list for interference with child custody. Following the listing, audio surfaced of her ex-husband admitting to making multiple false police and CPS reports against her.
