The Rock’s daughter, Ava (Simone Johnson), stepped into the WWE ring for her singles debut at a Tampa, FL NXT live event. Simone, known as Ava Raine in WWE, began training at the Performance Center in 2020. After a third knee surgery in September, she confirmed her WWE ring name. Ava’s first in-ring appearance was at WWE NXT Stand & Deliver, teaming up in an Eight-Person Tag Team Match. Recently, Ava claimed victory against Ivy Nile at a house show with an assist from Joe Gacy.
