Following her father's footsteps, 18-year-old Simone Johnson has officially signed a WWE contract.
The oldest daughter of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Dany Garcia has begun training to be a WWE Superstar at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
The WWE Network had announced the news and Johnson commented on the Instagram post saying, "To the little girl who fell in love with wrestling & said 'this will be my life one day', this is for you. I'm humbled, grateful & ready to work. Let's do this."
Her mother, Dany Garcia also posted a response saying, "While the legacy of the family may be your platform, your future will be uniquely yours to earn," Garcia wrote to her daughter".
Johnson then took to Instagram to congratulate his daughter and wrote, "Dreams ain’t just for dreamers. Congrats to my firstborn, Simone Johnson on officially signing her wrestling contract with @wwe @wwenxt and on her way to becoming the first-ever 4th generation WWE athlete. Carry our family name proudly, but your road will always be yours to create, earn & own. So proud. Live your dream. Let’s work".
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is the first third-generation wrestler in WWE history, according to his WWE Superstar biography.
Simone grandfather, WWE Hall of Famer Rocky 'Soul Man' Johnson, was a trailblazer and was one of the two first African American World Tag Team Champions in WWE's history. He died in January at age 75.
According to Simone's coaches, Johnson is making her family proud. "Simone is a wonderful girl," WWE Assistant Head Coach Sara Amato said in a statement. "She's like a sponge, it's pretty amazing. She knows what it takes to succeed and all the hard work and sacrifice that goes into it. I wouldn't have expected anything less."
