If you are reading this article, there’s a fairly good chance that you are a pop culture fan. And if you are indeed a pop culture fan, there is absolutely no way that you are not familiar with Dwayne Johnson, also known as “The Rock.” As one of the most notable wrestlers of all time, Johnson could have easily just hung out on the beach after retiring from the WWE. Instead, he started acting and producing years before retirement and subsequently became one of the most successful action stars the world has ever seen. He can also do comedy (for example, “The Tooth Fairy”) and drama (see: “Ballers”), co-owns the XFL, is involved in more than a handful of other business ventures, wrote a bestselling memoir, and looks like a marble statue. Talk about a guy who can do it all, right?
While most people are familiar with Johnson, fewer people outside of hardcore wrestling fans realize that he is from a wrestling dynasty, often referred to as the “Samoan family.” His father, paternal grandfather, and many extended relatives were or are wrestlers, and now his eldest daughter Simone has joined the family business.

Simone Johnson is The Rock’s 21-year-old daughter from his first marriage (he also has two younger daughters with his current wife), and in October 2022, she made her WWE debut using the stage name “Ava Raine.” We look forward to seeing what the fourth-generation wrestler does inside and outside of the ring in the years to come.
