Indy Star Heidi Lovelace Gets Her New WWE Name: Ruby Riot

WWE recently signed four new women’s wrestlers to the WWE Performance Center, including popular independent wrestlers Heidi Lovelace and Kimber Lee.

They have each wrestled a few dark matches in NXT since then and they wrestled each other in another dark match at the NXT tapings tonight, with Heidi Lovelace winning.

In that match, Heidi Lovelace was introduced with a new name: Ruby Riot. Kimber Lee was apparently still introduced as Kimber Lee.

Here is some brief info on them via WWE when their signing was first announced:

Dori Prange aka Heidi Lovelace

Joining Frankele will be one of her most noted peers and rivals from the indies, Dori Prange, aka Heidi Lovelace. Nicknamed the “Punk Rock Ragdoll,” the outspoken Prange has competed not only in the U.S. indie scene but also in Japan, where she wrestled under the banner of World Wonder Ring Stardom.

Kimberly Frankele aka Kimber Lee

Frankele has competed for more than six years under the ring alias Kimber Lee. Trained by WWE Cruiserweight Drew Gulak, she came to sports-entertainment from the world of classical dancing, where she earned a degree in dance education and was a ballerina for much of her life. In addition to capturing titles throughout the independent scene, including in both Shine Wrestling and SHIMMER Women Athletes, Frankele was the only female to ever hold the Chikara Grand Championship. Frankele has also fought in NXT, coming up short recently against the undefeated Ember Moon. (via wwe.com)
