DWAYNE “THE ROCK” JOHNSON’S daughter is set for her in-ring WWE debut – following in the footsteps of her legendary dad.
The Rock is a ten-time WWE champion and considered one of the all-time greats having joined his dad and grandfather in the business.

But his families legacy in professional wrestling extended further in 2020 when Johnson’s daughter Simone signed with the WWE.
She goes by the name Ava Raine and has so far enjoyed an instigator role for NXT stable Schism, made up of Jagger Reid, Joe Gacy and Rip Fowler.
The group has feuded with Chase University and members Andre Chase, Duke Hudson and Thea Hail.
And now an eight-person match has been booked for the Stand & Deliver event, with Tyler Bate on the side of Chase University.
The match will play host to Ava’s anticipated in-ring debut.
She tweeted: “Better savor what you have left of that university. See you at stand & deliver.”
The Rock has previously revealed his pride at his daughter following in his illustrious footsteps.
On The Tonight Show, he told host Jimmy Fallon: ” She signed her contract with the WWE and you know it blows my mind.
“First of all, what an honour that my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps.
“But more importantly, follow in my footsteps sounds cliche, but she actually wants to create and blaze her own path, which is so important.”
The Rock’s last WWE match was in 2016 at WrestleMania 32 and he was linked with a match this year against Roman Reigns – but he remains retired.
