Simone Johnson, the daughter of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Dany Garcia, appears to have received her WWE in-ring name.

On Twitter, the 20-year-old Johnson has changed her account name to "AvaRaineWWE." WWE filed a trademark for the name "Ava Raine" on May 13.

WWE announced the signing of Johnson in February 2020, which was right before the company was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Johnson has yet to make her NXT in-ring debut.

Johnson underwent knee surgery in September 2020. It was the third time that she's had surgery on her knee.

“It means the world to me,” Johnson said when she signed with WWE. “To know that my family has such a personal connection to wrestling is really special to me and I feel grateful to have the opportunity, not only to wrestle, but to carry on that legacy.”

When Johnson makes her debut, she'll become the first fourth-generation wrestler in WWE history. Her great-grandfather is Peter Maivia and her grandfather is Rocky Johnson.

Weird to say but probably the less people who know she's his daughter the better. Can only imagine the amount of expectation and pressure on her.

It's gonna be hilarious if they do the thing where they hype her up as the first 4th generation talent yet don't day who her family is

I think it’s a fine name and she probably wants to carve out her own legacy instead of trying to tie herself to Dad and their lineage

I mean everyone is gonna know she’s his daughter lol but whatever.

it’s the same thing as everyone knowing Bron Breakker is Rick Steiner’s son even though his name is different

Nobody else worried about a 20 year old having 3 knee surgeries?

 

[Swerve]

That's kind of close to Roman Reigns.
