‘Excited’ ex-WWE stars welcome first child | Sports News

Former WWE wrestling pair Mike Rallis and Tenille Dashwood have welcomed their firstborn child Leo.

Dashwood, known in the WWE world under her ring name Emma, and Rallis, better known as Riddick Moss, tied the knot last year in Hawaii, and recently confirmed the birth of their son Leo.

Speaking to PEOPLE, Dashwood admitted she was “excited” and “ready for all of it”. She told the outlet: “Couldn’t be more excited. I’m ready for it all.”

She continued: “The middle of the night poopy diapers, cleaning spit up, playing with him and watching him grow. Just want to soak up every minute of it.”

Rallis added he found out his wife was pregnant after she took “a dozen tests” before showing him the results. “Being a skeptic, I didn’t buy it,” said Rallis.

“So she took a digital test that revealed either ‘Pregnant’ or ‘Not,’ he added. “We looked at it together and sure enough it was ‘Pregnant’. A few happy cuss words followed.”

And the pair also explained how one of their favorite parts of being the pregnancy was getting to tell their family and friends the news. “We were visiting Mike’s family right after we found out, so we got to tell them in person, but my family is halfway across the world [in Australia], so we obviously couldn’t tell them in person,” Dashwood added.

“We FaceTimed each of them and showed them our first ultrasound. Being able to share our joy with family was so special.”

And even before they learned of the sex of their child at a gender reveal with Dashwood’s family in Australia, the former WWE wrestler admits she had a feeling she would be having a boy.

“Mike has nothing but boys in his family. The boy genes are strong,” said Dashwood. “And I think that’s what he was secretly rooting for.”
