Hillsborough County Judge Jessica G. Costello extended a temporary injunction for protection with a new hearing scheduled for Thursday, May 6 at 9 a.m. according to court documents obtained by HeelByNature.com.
The order has been extended four times since three felony charges were levied against Thomas for his hostage attempt inside the house of the WWE star last August. The order is expected to stay in place until the criminal case resolved.

Prosecutors say Thomas has been harassing Berenato for years, sending her countless messages to her and friends on social media.
Following his arrest, Thomas told investigators he planned to abduct Berenato, preventing her from working scheduled wrestling matches.
