— WWE NXT rookie David Otunga, who has long been engaged to Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson, told E! that he would be open to marrying the one-time “American Idol” finalist in a wrestling ring.
“We could do that,” said Otunga. “I don’t know if Jennifer would go for it, but I’d be up for it.”
— Regarding NXT, while the debut rating of 1.3 was not spectacular, SyFy and WWE were pleased with the fact that the show skewed significantly younger than ECW (median age of 35.2 versus 42.9).
— There is a running joke backstage that Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre is controlled by his fiancee (WWE’s Tiffany); he apparently has earned the nickname “Avatar.”
