Ex-WWE Star 2 Cold Scorpio Arrested After Stabbing Incident

Former wrestling star 2 Cold Scorpio was arrested on June 15 for allegedly stabbing a man during a fight at a gas station. With that said, Scorpio claims that he acted in self-defense.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports, the altercation took place around 3:40 AM at a Love’s Travel Stop in Kansas City, Missouri. Authorities report that 2 Cold Scorpio, whose real name is Charles Scaggs, was working as a security guard at the time. Scaggs noticed a man lighting a cigarette inside the store.

The victim, however, told TMZ Sports that he did not intentionally light the cigarette inside. He believed it was extinguished before he entered the building but admitted it might not have been fully put out.

Scaggs claimed that when he told the man he couldn’t smoke inside, the man became angry and responded aggressively, saying, “F you. What the f*** you gonna do?”

Scaggs reported that the man then threatened him, and when they eventually moved outside the store, the man allegedly attempted to grapple with him. During the ensuing scuffle, Scaggs told authorities that he pulled a knife from his pocket and stabbed the man in self-defense. He stated that the altercation continued for several moments, during which he delivered a few more stabs.

Police reported finding the stabbed man on the ground with multiple wounds to his head, chest, buttocks, legs, and abdomen. He was transported to a local hospital where he was described as in and out of consciousness. Investigators later spoke to the injured man at the hospital, where he alleged that Scaggs initiated the confrontation.

Following the incident, Scaggs was arrested and charged with two felonies: first-degree assault and armed criminal action. He pleaded not guilty after posting bond and is scheduled to appear in court for a hearing on the case next month. We’ll have to wait and see what will become of the former WWE Superstar in the end.
