Simone Johnson, Daughter of ‘The Rock,’ Revealed Her New Wrestling Name

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has arguably the best nickname in all of sports. Unquestionably one of the best entertainers ever, his daughter and her new name have huge shoes to fill.

His daughter, Simone Johnson, unveiled her new ring name to be Ava Raine on Sunday and she will be the WWE’s first-ever fourth-generation wrestler. Both her grandfather, Rocky Johnson, and great-grandfather “High Chief” Peter Maivia were wrestlers as well.

She joined the WWE in February 2020 at 18 years old and has since been training within the company’s Performance Center, according to The Sporting News.
