Alexa Bliss' Coincidence

Alexa Bliss & Ryan Cabrera became parents for the first time this week with the birth of their daughter Hendrix Rouge. As the name suggests, the newest member of the Cabrera family was named after musical icon Jimi Hendrix. Taking to Twitter, the proud mom shared a similarity between Hendrix Cabrera and her namesake.

I know everything happens for A reason & the world works in mysterious ways. Our Daughter Hendrix coincidentally being born on Jimi Hendrix birthday is one of those moments for me

Friday Night Cedric

During this year's WWE Draft, Cedric Alexander was available in the draft pool but was not chosen by either Raw or SmackDown, leaving the former Cruiserweight Champion a free agent. On WWE.com, Alexander has now been assigned to the SmackDown brand.

WWE Dropped the Ball?

Cameron Grimes was on this week's WWE NXT as part of a fatal-four-way that was won by Wes Lee. On Busted Open Radio, Tommy Dreamer compared Lee's time in NXT to his tenure on the main roster.

"God, did they drop the ball with Cameron Grimes. Cameron Grimes is one hell of a performer, and [with] his 'NXT' stuff, I thought he was going to be a bona fide superstar in whatever brand he went to. It hasn't happened."

Due to his victory, Lee has earned an NXT North American Championship match against 'Dirty' Dominik Mysterio. The two will face off at NXT Deadline on December 9.
