Simone Johnson at the tender age of 18 made headlines when WWE hired her a few years ago. She started training at WWE’s Performance Center in February 2020. Simone, being WWE legend Dwayne Johnson’s daughter, therefore created a buzz around the globe. She captured the attention of the WWE Universe.

The 21-year-old reportedly showed interest in pro wrestling back in 2017. But she took smaller steps to reach the massive opportunity in WWE. Dwayne Johnson’s daughter made her debut last year on the October 26, 2022, episode of NXT. Simone debuted under the ring name Ava Raine, revealing herself to be a member of the heel faction, The Schism.

Ava Raine made her in-ring debut at NXT Stand & Deliver with her faction losing to The Chase University. She even competed in the infamous NXT House show in April. The Rock’s daughter is yet to make her in-ring debut as a single competitor in NXT. The WWE Universe has been waiting to see her wrestle in a singles match.

In this week’s episode of NXT, Ivy Nile challenged Ava Raine to a one-on-one match next week. As Raine is likely to accept the challenge, fans are excited to see her in-ring performance. Nevertheless, she will be supported by her stablemates during her match. Her in-ring debut will be a memorable moment for herself and for The Rock.
