Recently, the former WWE star Dutch Mantell recalled the time when Rhaka Khan could have sued him. During his podcast, ‘Story Time with Dutch Mantell’, the star revealed that he was the person who gave Trenesha Biggers her popular ring name ‘Rhaka Khan’. And because of that, he could have faced some major legal problems.

Mantell said that when he gave the name to Khan, an attorney from TNA called him and made him aware that this could result in a lawsuit against him as the name is quite similar to an American pop singer’s name (Chaka Khan).

Recalling the moment, Dutch Mantell said, “I gave her the name Rhaka Khan from Chaka Khan…..well the attorney called me from Dallas… and he had a really deep southern accent. He said, ‘Well you know that Rhaka Khan name sounds a lot like Chaka Khan’……That’s what I said, ‘No, really?’. He said, ‘Well that could open us up to a lawsuit’…..I said well that’s your job I’m not changing your goddamn name just because of that.”

Along with Dwayne Johnson, Khan has sued several other big names as well. But among all, The Rock is the one who could face major consequences because of this.

How the lawsuit could impact Johnson?

The former WWE superstar Rhaka Khan has not just sued Dwayne Johnson, but several other big names are also on the list. The names also include the WrestleMania 39 host The Miz and his wife. However, Johnson is the one who could lose out on the most.
