But for the first time, a fourth-generation Superstar will lace up their boots and grace a WWE ring. Her name is Simone Johnson, and she just so happens to be The Rock’s daughter.
Simone, 18, recently reported to the WWE’s Performance Center in Orlando, where up-and-coming wrestlers are put through the ropes in the gym and in the ring.
The Rock is thrilled that his oldest daughter—whose mother is The Rock’s ex-wife and still-business parnter, Dany Garcia— has decided to join the family business.
After all, wrestling is in Simone’s blood. Her great-grandfather is the Samoan wrestling legend, the High Chief Peter Maivia, and his daughter was the wife of Rocky Johnson, the late WWE Hall of Famer and one-half of the first-ever Black WWE tag team champions. Those two are The Rock’s parents.
We’re sure Simone will create her own in-ring character, but we’re also excited to see how she channels her wrestling heritage in the future.
