Former WWE Star Shot Dead at 41 in Arkansas, Man Taken Into Custody

Former WWE NXT star Kevin Nikel, better known to grapple fans as both Ivan Warsaw and Knuckles Madsen, was shot dead in Arkansas in the early hours of June 10, according to the Benton County Sheriff's Department. He was 41 years old. Nikel also went by Kevin Nykiel. Officers were called to a home in the community of Rogers, close to both the Oklahoma and Missouri borders, just before midnight after receiving reports of a shooting. First responders rushed Nikel to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. A Benton County spokesperson revealed that Nikel was shot in the abdomen. Lt. Shannon Jenkins told KNWA that a man named Michael Hogue, 50, who lives at the address where Nikel was found. He was taken into custody on probation violations and has not been charged in relation to the wrestler's death. Nikel's death was also confirmed by the wrestling promotions Dog Pound Wrestling and NWA Texas. 'NWA Texas is saddened to learn of the passing of Kevin Nikel, professionally known as Ivan Warsaw & Knuckles Madsen. His contributions to Professional Wrestling will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this time. Rest in Peace,' NWA Texas said in a statement. His career began in Texas in 2007, where he worked for various promotions in the area. The Memphis-born star joined the WWE in 2012 and remained there until 2013, competing under the NXT banner. During his time with World Wrestling Entertainment, Nikel competed against fellow stars Mojo Rawley and Kassius Ohno. Pro Wrestling Insider reported at the time that Nikel had been desperate to remain with WWE and was even open to 'donning clown gear, but WWE decided to move on without him.' In 2020, WWE star Xavier Woods posted a video of Nikel in character as a deranged clown. Woods wrote in the caption that Nikel was 'a dude who could do so many different and creative gimmicks it was insane.' Nikel elaborated on the gimmick that never took off in an interview with PWMania. 'I had worked with Matt Borne two years ago. We were a tag team kind of deal. After Matt died, it was on my mind for awhile and I wanted to show some other things that I could do. I didn't want to be Doink, I wanted to be a creepy guy outside your window with the makeup on,' Nikel said. While in a 2023 interview, fellow former WWE star Enzo Amore admitted that former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt had wanted Nikel to be a part of his hugely popular Wyatt Family stable but that management shot the idea down. His last match was almost precisely one year before his death, where he teamed with Tino Valentino in a losing effort against The OMGs during an event for Texas Style Wrestling Night in Frisco, according to CageMatch. In recent times, Nikel operated Ozark Mountain Wrestling in Rogers. A statement on the organization's social media paying tribute to him mentioned that he is survived by his son, Zach, 8, who was the 'center of his world.' KNWA's Doug Warner reports that Zach's mother said that their son loved to hang out with his father at OMW and would occasionally step through the ropes onto the mat. She also told Warner that Nikel was known in the area for working with local children. At least one commenter paid tribute to Nikel in the comments under Warner's post, writing: 'He has mentored our son the last two years and has helped him through a lot! Great guy that was just trying to do what's best for him, his son, and the community.' Nikel was due to compete in OMW against Total Nonstop Action X division champion Moose on July 19. After news of Nikel's death was made public, Moose acknowledged his passing on Instagram. 'Wow.. this hit hard just got the news on Kevin Nykiel we were supposed to wrestle next weekend but his life got taken way too early…. Great human. Great heart. Great pro wrestler you will be missed dearly. Rest easy.' Former WWE Star Shot Dead at 41 in Arkansas, Man Taken Into Custody first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 12, 2025

WWE Evolution 2025 Quick Highlights: List of All Winners, Top Performers, and More

Evolution 2025 (Image via WWE) Evolution 2025, the second edition of the all-women's professional wrestling pay-per-view event, was a night full of some exceptional performances from the women from all divisions of WWE . Female wrestling stars from the RAW, SmackDown, and NXT divisions made sure that this night, which was only for the women, is remembered for all the right reasons, and helps in advancing women's wrestling even more. The State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, lit up in all its glory, and it's all thanks to the women who have been the catalyst in taking women's wrestling to the next level. From an exciting three-way match for the Intercontinental Championship title between Bayley, Lyra Valkyria, and Becky Lynch to the chaotic fatal-4-way tag team championship match to a Battle Royale that saw wrestling greats come together for a shot at Class in Paris to the finale event between IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley , the night was filled with moments that had the fans thrilled. So now, let's take a look at all the winners and top performers of the night. Intercontinental Championship match In a fiery three-way match between Bayley, Lyra Valkyria, and Becky Lynch, the Intercontinental Championship belt was up for grabs. There were plenty of near falls and near wins, but one or the other kept interrupting before anyone could take the win. At the end, Lynch retained her title by pinning Bayley and getting the win. NXT Women's Championship match The audience was already fired up after the inaugural match before Jacy Jayne and Jordynne Grace entered the ring for the NXT Women's Championship title. While Grace looked to have the upper hand for most of the match, Jayne managed to take the win by using the belt as a weapon and using it on her opponent for a pinfall. And everyone saw Blake Monroe turn heel, right? WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way match Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss , Asuka and Kairi Sane, Sol Ruca and Zairi, and the current Tag team champions, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, put on an amazing show for the fans as the night of Evolution progressed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo It was the Judgement Day members, though, who managed to continue their tag team domination and retain their title by winning by pinfall. WWE Women's Championship match Tiffany Stratton and WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus came together for an exciting showdown for the Women's Championship belt. Stratus challenged her one-time tag team partner - Stratton, the current title holder, for the championship. And while Stratton managed to retain her title by defeating Stratus, it was the latter who emerged as the star of the show, as the crowd cheered her on even after she lost the match. No Holds Barred match Jade Cargill and Naomi were going to be explosive and that's exactly what they brought into the ring. The weapons came in as soon as the match began and the rivals went at it, taking out all their anger and frustration at each other. Bianca Belair, the special guest referee, felt a little out of place, but the two opponents made sure that all eyes were on them. At the end, Cargill hit Naomi with a Jaded from the top rope through a table, and won the match via pinfall. Battle Royal With many wrestlers inside the ring, it was bound to get chaotic even before the match began. Nikki Bella , alongside Nia Jax and Stephanie Vaquer, were top contenders to win the match, and were actually the last four inside the ring alongside Lash. Finally, the win went to Vaquer, who used her Devil's Kiss to eliminate Lash at the end and win herself a shot at Clash in Paris in August. Women's World Championship match They really left the beat for the last, as IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley came together for a gruelling but classic match that had everyone guessing till the end. With moments of magic all through the fight, Ripley would have won the match had the referee not been knocked out. But the final twist came with Naomi cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase, and taking advantage of battered and bruised Ripley and SKY after a 26-minute-long bout. She threw Ripley out of the ring and did a split-legged moonsault on SKY for the pin and win.
