-- WWE developmental wrestler Afa Anoa'i, Jr., 23, made his official WWE debut at tonight's Unforgiven pay-per-view. Following the Cryme Tyme vs. Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase tag match, the two teams got into a brawl. Afa ran down ringside to take out Cryme Tyme. He then celebrated in the ring with the World Tag Team Championships. Later in the show, they aired a segment showing DiBiase, Rhodes & Afa celebrating inside a locker room. Randy Orton entered the room and the tag champs introduced the mystery man as "Manu." They acknowledged that he is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Afa.
Anoa'i, Jr. is a member of the legendary Anoa'i wrestling family. He is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Afa and brother of former Headshrinkers member Samu. Umaga's mother is the sister of Afa, so that's how he's related to him. Anoa'i, Jr. has been under contract to WWE since October 2006. In November 2007, Anoa'i made his actual debut on WWE television in a losing effort against "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan on WWE Heat. And as noted several times before, earlier in the year, he attempted to cheat on a WWE drug test with the help of a prosthetic penis. He was caught and as a result, was suspended by WWE for 30 days on March 20, 2008.
-- New SmackDown star Ron "R-Truth" Killings is in "The Wrestler" movie. Both Killings and former WWE Superstar/current actor Romeo Roselli shot several scenes for the movie. The two performed a wrestling match that was taped on film. The film is set to debut in the U.S. at the New York Film Festival in October.
-- Yesterday was WWE Diva Jillian Hall's birthday. She turned 28 years old. Also, today is former WWE Women's Champion Molly Holly's birthday. She turns 31 years old.
