A warrant has been issued for a former WWE Superstar regarding the death of a 47-year-old man in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Daniel Rodimer competed in season four of Tough Enough and wrestled for the promotion from 2004 - 2007. The promotion was high on the 6 ft 7 star, but it didn't work out. He was released by WWE and has not competed in a match since August 4, 2007.
The Las Vegas Police Department issued a statement today and identified Rodimer as the suspect in the murder of Christopher Tapp on October 29, 2023. The incident was originally thought to be an accident, but now the death has been ruled a homicide as a result of blunt force trauma to the head.

WWE Hall of Famer reacts to Tammy "Sunny" Sytch being sentenced to 17 years in prison
WWE legend Sunny is currently serving time behind bars for causing the death of an elderly civilian while driving under the influence.
Speaking on an episode of Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine show last December, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long reacted to Sunny being sentenced to 17 years in prison. Long noted that he did not know the veteran well and said the situation was tragic.
"I didn't know her very well, I did meet her and everything. She was always a nice lady, very nice, and, you know, it's just sad to see, you know, how drugs and things can really take over people and cause them to, you know, have such a tragic life, and this is pretty much tragic for her," Teddy Long said.
