WWE Tough Enough Contestant Wanted in Murder Investigation

Cristen Drummond of KSNV News 3 Las Vegas has reported that former WWE Tough Enough contestant Daniel Rodimer is currently wanted for open murder. According to the warrant shared on her Twitter account, Rodimer is sought in connection with a homicide that occurred on October 29 at Resorts World Las Vegas.

Rodimer gained recognition as a contestant on the 2004 season of Tough Enough and subsequently signed a developmental contract with WWE in 2006. He participated in WWE house shows and competed in developmental territories like Deep South Wrestling and Florida Championship Wrestling between 2006 and 2007.

In his later years, Rodimer ventured into politics. He ran for the Nevada State Senate in 2018 but was unsuccessful, losing to Valerie Weber. Similarly, his bid for Nevada’s 3rd congressional district in 2019 was unsuccessful. Notably, in 2021, Rodimer gained attention on social media after a significant change in accent and persona during his campaign for the Texas 6th congressional district special election.

Rodimer has faced accusations of assault on three separate occasions, although he has never been convicted. He was arrested in 2010 on battery charges and was accused of assault in 2011 and 2013, according to records from Collier County, Florida.
