Bray Wyatt Death: Alexa Bliss Pays Tribute To Late Windham Rotunda With First Baby's Second Name
Pregnant WWE Women's Wrestling star Alexa Bliss, made a wholesome tribute to her late Firefly Fun House stable mate, Bray Wyatt, whose sudden death shocked the wrestling world.
The former WWE Raw and Smackdown Women's Champion announced on social media that her daughter's name is Hendrix Rouge Cabrera. She explained that her daughter's first name was a tribute to legendary singer Jimi Hendrix while the baby's second name, Rouge, was "for a few personal reasons."
It did not take long for wrestling fans to put the pieces together as a fan pointed out that red is a significant color to Bray Wyatt's character, The Fiend. Two tweets in particular received "Likes" on X (formerly Twitter) from "Little Miss Bliss" herself.
Sportskeeda pointed out that the real-life Lexi Kaufmann-Cabrera is "incredibly close" to Bray Wyatt, whose real name is Windham Rotunda. After news of his passing came out, Alexa Bliss wrote a heart-wrenching tribute to her late friend whom she collaborated with on many occasions as part of the Firefly Fun House.
As for the baby, her daughter is due to be born in December, and Hendrix Rouge's mother just cannot seem to hide her excitement about her very first child with husband, musician Ryan Cabrera.
