Ex-WWE Star’s Trial Date Set After Shocking Stabbing Incident

This former WWE star was in a real-life fight in which he committed a serious offense.

Former WWE, WCW, and ECW star 2 Cold Scorpio was arrested on June 15th, 2024, in Kansas City, Missouri, after an incident with a man at Love’s Travel Stop.

Scorpio was working as a security guard there and asked a man to put out a cigarette, asking him not to smoke inside. The man began the altercation by posing a challenge, asking Scorpio what he was going to do if he didn’t.

Things got physical as the two took the fight outside. Scorpio reportedly pulled out a knife during the fight and stabbed the man in self-defense. He stabbed the man a few more times as the fight raged on.

The man had to be taken to the hospital, bleeding from his head, chest, buttocks, legs, and abdomen while going in and out of consciousness.
