Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson commented on his daughter Simone’s recent debut at a set of NXT live events as well as his future in the industry.
While promoting “DC League of Pets”, Johnson spoke with Entertainment Tonight and was asked about his daughter Simone, who is currently working at NXT and appeared at two live events this past weekend.
She’s made history. Very, very proud of her. She is fiercely independent. It’s very important for her to make her own way, blaze her own trail, blaze her own path. She doesn’t come to me looking for a lot, which I respect that. And I’m here watching and supporting. (Transcription: Joseph Currier of Wrestling Observer)
Johnson is working under the name ‘Ava Raine’ and appeared at last weekend’s NXT events in Florida and cut a promo on the second night.
