After days of speculation, multiple independent outlets have confirmed that Holden Nobody was arrested during an Abolish ICE protest in Philadelphia on January 28. While mainstream publications initially declined to cover the story due to blurry footage and unverified claims circulating online, independent investigations by CACC Weekly and theNOWwrestling.com have since verified that the individual seen in the photos and videos was, in fact, Nobody.
According to arrest records and witness accounts, the incident occurred during a brief confrontation between protesters and individuals believed to be federal agents. Reports state that an alleged ICE agent shoved an unidentified protester to the ground and appeared to be preparing to deploy mace. Nobody intervened, striking the agent once in the face. Additional agents then converged on Nobody, leading to a short scuffle in which he sustained minor injuries around the eyes before being taken into custody.
Nobody remained detained until January 30, when a representative from the SHOOT Project’s legal department met with him. He was subsequently released, and all charges have been dropped. Further investigation revealed that the individual identified as an ICE agent was not affiliated with the Department of Homeland Security and was instead an unknown agitator posing as a federal officer. That individual’s identity has not yet been determined.
Despite the incident, sources close to Nobody confirm that his injuries are minor and will not affect his scheduled matchup against Jamie Johnson at Zenith 011. As of now, the event is expected to proceed as planned.
