Chilling text messages Daniel Rodimer’s wife sent ex-WWE star after ‘watching him murder’ victim in deadly attack
THE text messages between a former WWE star, who has been arrested on suspicion of murder, and his wife have been revealed.
Daniel Rodimer, 45, was named as the suspect in Christopher Tapp's murder that took place on October 29, 2023.
“I watched you nearly murder somebody and I had to take your [expletive] hands off from his neck as he laid [sic] there and you ran away and I spent the next two hours trying to take care of him. Nobody should have to watch their husband murder somebody,” she texted her husband.
“I watched you murder somebody like let that sink in your psychopath,” she said in another text after the alleged incident.
Rodimer and Tapp reportedly knew one another through the classic car and racing circuit, a family attorney told KLAS.
Police however have not revealed the relationship between Tapp and the ex-WWE star.
Rodimer's lawyers released a statement that insisted he was "vigorously contesting the allegations," on Wednesday night, The U.S. Sun previously reported.
“Mr. Rodimer is voluntarily surrendering to authorities and will post a court-ordered bail,” Rodimer's attorneys David Z. Chesnoff and Richard A. Schonfeld said.
“He intends on vigorously contesting the allegations and asks that the presumption of innocence guaranteed all Americans be respected.”
Documents also revealed that some witnesses had told police what they believed they saw and heard that night.
One person said they heard Rodimer say, “If you ever talk to my daughter again, I’ll [expletive] kill you,” documents said.
