Sarah Rowe, known to WWE audiences as Sarah Logan and later Valhalla, and WWE’s Erik have welcomed their third child.
Erik, whose real name is Raymond Rowe, shared the family news on October 20, announcing the birth of their daughter, Dena Elizabeth Rowe. He confirmed that Dena was born at 2:13 PM on October 20, 2026, weighing nine pounds and measuring 21 inches long.

The announcement centered on the health of both mother and daughter, with Erik confirming that Sarah and newborn Dena are safe. It was a personal moment shared amid an eventful period professionally for both members of the family, whose careers have remained closely associated with WWE even after Sarah’s departure from the company.
A New Chapter for the Rowe Family
Sarah Rowe has been open about the importance of family throughout the different stages of her wrestling career. Her latest milestone comes after a significant transition away from the ring. Sarah’s WWE contract was not renewed in June 2025, ending her most recent run with the company.
She later confirmed in February 2026 that she had stepped away from professional wrestling. That confirmation put a clear punctuation mark on a career that had included multiple WWE identities, first as Sarah Logan and later as Valhalla. Her departure from wrestling has allowed her public focus to shift toward life outside the industry, including her growing family with Erik.
While Sarah’s in-ring career has concluded, Erik remains active under the WWE banner. He continues to team with Ivar as the War Raiders, one of WWE’s established tag teams. The pairing has appeared on WWE SmackDown in recent months, keeping Erik in the national spotlight while the family celebrates a major personal occasion.
The War Raiders have also appeared in AAA during that same recent stretch. Those appearances have put Erik and Ivar in front of audiences beyond WWE programming, reflecting the continued visibility of the team while Erik balances a demanding wrestling schedule with life as a father of three.
Erik Continues His WWE Run With Ivar
Erik’s announcement arrives while he remains an active WWE performer alongside Ivar. The War Raiders have long been defined by their power-based tag team presentation, and their recent appearances on SmackDown have maintained their connection to WWE’s tag team scene.
For Erik, the birth of Dena comes during a period in which his professional commitments extend beyond one weekly television program. The War Raiders’ recent involvement in both WWE and AAA has made the team part of a broader wrestling conversation, while the family news offers a reminder of the life that exists away from arenas and televised competition.
Wrestlers routinely navigate a schedule that can involve travel, television production, training, live events, and promotional appearances. Erik’s message was not about those responsibilities. Instead, it was a straightforward celebration of his daughter’s arrival and an expression of gratitude that Sarah and Dena are healthy.
That distinction matters. Public announcements from wrestlers can often be tied to storyline developments, match announcements, or business news. This was a family update, shared to mark a moment that stands independently from WWE programming and from Erik’s current work with the War Raiders.
Sarah Rowe’s Wrestling Career Concluded Earlier This Year
Sarah’s name remains familiar to WWE viewers through her work as Sarah Logan and Valhalla. Her career included distinct on-screen presentations, and she was associated with WWE across different periods before her contract was not renewed in June 2025.
In February 2026, Sarah confirmed that she was departing wrestling. The announcement made clear that her relationship with the industry had changed following the end of her WWE tenure. The birth of her third child now marks another defining development in that post-wrestling chapter.
There is no indication in Erik’s announcement that the family news is connected to any future wrestling plans for Sarah. Her stated departure from wrestling remains the relevant update regarding her in-ring status. The focus of the October 20 post was Dena Elizabeth Rowe, her birth details, and the confirmation that mother and baby are doing well.
Sarah’s journey is also a reminder that a wrestler’s public identity can continue to resonate after active competition ends. Fans knew her through the Sarah Logan and Valhalla names, but this announcement was shared under the family’s real-life circumstances. It emphasized Sarah Rowe as a mother welcoming her third child rather than as a performer preparing for a return to television.
Three Children Since Their 2018 Marriage
Sarah and Erik married in 2018. Their first child was born in February 2021, followed by their second child in November 2024. Dena Elizabeth Rowe’s arrival on October 20, 2026 completes the couple’s newest family milestone.
The dates underline the way the couple’s family life has unfolded alongside their connections to WWE. Their first child arrived during Erik’s WWE career, and their second arrived before Sarah’s WWE contract was not renewed in 2025. Their third child’s birth follows Sarah’s February 2026 confirmation that she had moved on from professional wrestling.
Those changes make Dena’s birth especially notable as a point of transition. Erik continues to perform as part of the War Raiders, while Sarah has confirmed she is no longer pursuing an active wrestling career. Together, they are now beginning the next stage of family life with three children.
Erik’s wording also made clear that the family was sharing good news without complication: Sarah and Dena were both described as healthy and safe. The nine-pound birth weight and 21-inch length gave fans a glimpse of the newborn’s arrival, while the name Dena Elizabeth Rowe formally introduced the newest member of the family.
Congratulations to Sarah, Erik and Their Family
The wrestling community frequently becomes part of performers’ major life moments, whether those updates involve retirements, weddings, births, or career milestones. Sarah and Erik’s announcement is firmly in that personal category, and it arrives with the most important detail already confirmed: mother and daughter are doing well.
For Sarah, it is a joyful family moment months after confirming her exit from wrestling. For Erik, it comes while he remains active in WWE and continues his War Raiders partnership with Ivar. For their family, it is the arrival of a daughter and a new beginning as a household of five.
Dena Elizabeth Rowe was born at 2:13 PM on October 20, 2026, at nine pounds and 21 inches long. Sarah Rowe and Erik have now welcomed their third child, and the update from Erik confirmed that both Sarah and Dena are healthy and safe.
Congratulations to Sarah, Erik, their two older children, and baby Dena Elizabeth Rowe on the newest addition to their family.
