if a Reissner-Nordstrom blackhole and a Kerr blackhole happen to collide and probably merge together, what will be the outcome? Will it be simply just Kerr blackhole?

As Nightstalker said, you would have a rotating, or Kerr blackhole remaining. How fast it would rotate would depend on it's total mass, the mass of the original Kerr, and the speed which the original was roating.
To answers Nightstalkers questions, in the end you would only have one black hole, so only one event horizon. . .

Seems that might depend upon the magnitude of each, however since one difference between the two types is that a Kerr is rotating while an R-N is not, and when two physical objects, which we assume black holes are, integrate then the forces common to both become integrated, if both were of equal magnitudes then the combination would rotate at half the rate of the original Kerr. But any rotation defines a Kerr so the combination would be a Kerr. Would this combo have two or one or 1.5 event horizons?
