“2 under 2! Actually, 2 under 1.5,” Dashwood wrote. “And believe it or not, we planned this! Baby Rallis coming June 2026!”
Dashwood (former WWE wrestler Emma) and Rallis (Riddick Moss) have been married since March 2024. They worked together on-screen during their WWE careers, but both were released by the company during a round of roster cuts in 2023. Since then, they have largely stayed away from the ring but have not officially announced their retirements.
Rallis, a former college football player, also went by the name Madcap Moss during his WWE run. He received his biggest push while Vince McMahon was still with the company.
Dashwood had two separate stints with WWE and previously wrestled for TNA and ROH as well.
Former WWE wrestlers Tenille Dashwood (formerly known as Emma) and Mike Rallis (formerly known as Riddick Moss) have welcomed the birth of their first child.
People reported in an exclusive on Thursday that the couple welcomed a son, Leo, on Monday, March 4.
“Couldn’t be more excited. I’m ready for it all,” Dashwood told People. “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.”
Dashwood, 36, and Rallis, 35, were married in March 2024 in Hawaii. They announced that they were expecting their first child last September.
The couple got engaged in June 2023, just prior to being released by WWE in September of that year. Prior to their release, they were briefly paired on-screen as a couple.
Dashwood last wrestled in April 2024 for an independent promotion in Australia, while Rallis last stepped between the ropes for Black Label Pro last September.
Former WWE wrestlers Tenille Dashwood (Emma) and Mike Rallis (Riddick Moss) are expecting a baby.
The couple revealed the news on Friday, sharing a video on Instagram where they found out Dashwood is pregnant. The baby is expected to arrive in 2025, and Dashwood wrote that she and Rallis are “over the moon” to become parents for the first time and can’t wait to welcome their child into the world.
Dashwood and Rallis got engaged in June 2023 and were married this March. Since being released by WWE last September, the couple has been focusing on outside-the-ring projects like creating travel content for social media. Both Dashwood and Rallis did compete for Oceania Pro Wrestling in Australia this April. Rallis wrestled at a show for Black Label Pro this week as well.
While with WWE, Dashwood and Rallis were briefly paired together as an on-screen couple. It was Dashwood’s second stint with the company after previously being released in 2017. Their releases last September came during roster cuts that were made after WWE was acquired by Endeavor.
The first post-WWE match for the former Madcap Moss has been announced.
Wrestling under his real name Mike Rallis, he will challenge Chris Masters for the Stu Hart Heritage Championship at Bret Hart Presents Australian Stampede on Saturday, April 13 in Victoria, Australia as part of Starrcast Down Under.
“As another Mike once said… IM BACK,” Ralis wrote on X.
Neither Rallis nor Tenille Dashwood, who were married earlier this month, have wrestled since being released from WWE in September. They noted in a recent interview, however, that they were committed to upcoming dates in Australia.
Starrcast Down Under in association with Oceania Pro Wrestling will run from April 11 to 14. In addition to meet-and-greets and stage shows, two live wrestling events will take place over the weekend: Mickie James Presents HER and Bret Hart Presents Australian Stampede.

Though she hasn’t wrestled since being released by WWE, Tenille Dashwood isn’t done in the ring.
Dashwood (formerly known as Emma) and her now-husband Mike Rallis (Riddick Moss) were both released by WWE in September 2023. Neither has competed in the ring since then. Their releases were part of a set of roster cuts that were made after Endeavor acquired WWE.
Appearing together as guests on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Dashwood and Rallis were asked about their in-ring futures. While they may be focused on other pursuits at this point in time, both said they’ll be wrestling again. They have an upcoming commitment in Australia for autograph signings and a match.
Dashwood said she can’t imagine that she’ll ever fully step away from wrestling, but she isn’t actively pursuing anything and doesn’t have a plan moving forward in the industry right now.
Dashwood: I will say I was a little disappointed with that last [WWE] run, and a little upset with how things went. I do think I had a lot more to contribute. I had very high hopes when I returned, and it just didn’t turn out the way that I would have liked. But in saying that, we did see it as a positive. We just weren’t being used, you know, so when we finally got released, we were like, ‘Okay, let’s go do the things we want. ‘And that has been very exciting. So I think at this point, we’re kind of focusing on that. And we do have a tour coming up in Australia that we have committed to.
Moss: We are wrestling again.
Dashwood: There are some autograph signings and a match that we’ll both have. But past that, we are kind of just focusing on all our other things right now. And yeah, I guess I can’t imagine ever fully stepping away from wrestling. It’s been my dream since I was a little girl, and that was the only thing I ever really wanted to do. And I mean, I’m so glad I’ve gone after it and had the career I’ve had. So it would be hard for me to say, like, I’m done with wrestling. But in that same instance, I am not actively pursuing anything or don’t have a plan moving forward at this point, either.
Rallis: I mean, I would probably echo a lot of what she’s saying. Like I just mentioned, I had so much fun wrestling, and I met so many cool people. Like, I love wrestling. Having said that, there’s a lot of other things I really love that I want to pursue. And the one thing about wrestling, and when I was a football player I used to say this, the one guaranteed thing is, like, it’s going to come to an end. And it’s very physical, and I’ve taken my fair share of punishment with, you know, achilles, ACL surgery, I’ve got a wonky eye from a few too many concussions and blows to the head. So, like, that’s definitely a consideration is the health. And as much as I love the wrestling part of wrestling, there’s a political side of wrestling that I don’t necessarily love. And all of these businesses that we’re doing have its own, I mean, I feel like we’re way busier than we were with WWE. As anyone who’s tried to do anything on their own — of their own entrepreneurial venture of any kind — knows there’s a lot of work that goes in upfront. It’s stressful, and it’s exciting, and it’s fun. But there’s something to it being all on you and not having to worry about who you’re rubbing the wrong way or anything like that. And just, ‘Am I standing the correct way to not anger the wrong person?’ Or, ‘What does so and so think of me?’ There’s just — it’s really freeing. No drama.
People Magazine reported on the details of their wedding. Dashwood and Rallis said they’re ready to embark on the next chapter of their lives together, including starting a family one day.
“Marriage is the ultimate commitment,” Dashwood said. “No matter what, we’ll always be there for one another, pushing, supporting and enriching each other’s lives in every way we can.”
“Yep, she’s stuck with me,” Rallis joked. “But seriously, it’s all those things for me as well, and the wedding is the celebration of that commitment.”
Dashwood and Rallis were both released by WWE in September 2023. Their releases came during a round of roster cuts after Endeavor’s acquisition of WWE was made official.
Dashwood and Rallis were briefly paired together as an on-screen duo during their time in WWE.
This was Dashwood’s second WWE stint. She returned in 2022 after previously being released by the company in 2017.
Rallis is a former college football player for the University of Minnesota.
People writes that Dashwood “first met when she slid into his DMs a decade ago. After being friends for some time, the pair began dating after their mutual friends Cassie and Jess (formerly the IIconics in WWE) suggested that they’d be a good match.”
Neither Dashwood nor Rallis have wrestled since their WWE releases. They’ve launched a travel series on YouTube called “Where to Next, Honey?”
