- A former WWE wrestler’s ex-wife and her new boyfriend have been charged with murdering him three days after their divorce was finalized.
- Earlier this year, it was reported that Kevin Nikel, who worked in NXT under the name Knuckles Madsen from 2012 to 2013, had tragically died after being shot in the stomach. And now, in news that can only be described as shocking, it has been reported by RingsideNews.com that his ex-wife, Amanda Penny, and her new partner, Michael Hogue, have been arrested for his murder.
- “On November 17, 2025, U.S. Marshals arrested Michael Hogue for 1st Degree Murder and Amanda Penny, Nikel’s ex-wife, for Accomplice to Murder in the 1st Degree. Both also face additional weapons charges … Authorities say Nikel was shot and killed in the Beaver Shores area near Rogers, just days after his divorce from Penny was finalized. Prosecutors believe he may have been lured into a confrontation.”
