The Rock's cousin has NXT match, Joe's theme changing, Eva Marie to debut

Rock’s cousin with his mother

- The Rock’s “cousin” Lina Fanene who is under a WWE developmental deal, wrestled in a dark match prior to this week’s NXT TV tapings. She defeated Jasmin Areebi with a side slam type maneuver that is somewhat similar to the Rock Bottom.

Fanene’s grandfather and The Rock's great grandmother were brother and sister, so they are not strictly cousins, but they are both part of the extended Samoan family on the Maivia side.

- Samoa Joe used a new theme song at the recent NXT TV tapings, which we’ll hear for the first time next Wednesday. Joe will be taking on Mike Rallis.

- Total Divas star Eva Marie who has been training one on one with Brian Kendrick, will be making her NXT in-ring debut on next week’s show, against KC Cassidy. Marie choosing to train away from the WWE Performance Center is a storyline on the new season of Total Divas.
