Former WWE NXT star Kevin Nikel, better known to fans as both Ivan Warsaw and Knuckles Madsen, was tragically shot dead in Arkansas in the early hours of June 10.

He was 41 years old.

His death came one month before WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan tragically passed away at the age of 71.

Officers were called to a home just before midnight after receiving reports of a shooting on that fateful night. Nikel was rushed to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. It was later revealed that Nikel was shot in the abdomen.

Lt. Shannon Jenkins told KNWA at the time that a man named Michael Hogue was taken into custody on probation violations and has not been charged in relation to the wrestler’s death.

It turns out that the story of Kevin Nikel being gunned down gets much worse.
