Simone Johnson, the 21-year-old little girl of incredible WWE Superstar and Hollywood entertainer Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, made her broadcast debut for WWE on Tuesday night’s episode of NXT under the name Ava Raine.
Raine, who marked a formative agreement with WWE in 2020, didn’t recognize her familial ties, rather uncovering herself as the secret individual from the faction like stable Break close by Joe Gacy and The Dyad:
As far as Ava Raine [aka The Rocks Daughter] being part of Joe Gacy crew in nxt. Everybody [even the daughter of Elvis of wrestling] has to start out somewhere. Hmm i seem to recall her Dad being "Flex Kavana" in memphis his rookie year. And how did his career end up? So relax😂

If everyone thinks The Rock showed up in 1996 and everyone embraced him immediately YOU ARE WRONG!

Can’t wait to see what Ava Raine does in #WWENXT & #WWE. pic.twitter.com/d1b0wnlcw5
Ok I am all for how Ava Raine debuted. The first 4th generation women's superstar, daughter to perhaps the greatest talent to come out of the industry in a campy, goth heel stable, no acknowledgement of her lineage, character driven, and a name to stand on her own. I'm excited.

While disregarding Raine’s status as the girl of quite possibly the greatest star throughout the entire existence of wrestling might have been an inquisitive move to some, others lauded her and WWE for attempting to get the person over voluntarily:
Raine need not look any further than her well-known father to comprehend the reason why tethering herself to her family ancestry right out of the entryway might not have been the best move for her profession.
During his concise altercation with the Memphis domain in 1996 preceding authoritatively marking with WWE, The Rock went by the name Flex Kavana.
That name was an unmistakable tribute to The Rock’s family, as it drew from his Corridor of Popularity father Rocky Johnson, and his Lobby of Distinction grandfather “High Boss” Peter Maivia.
The Rock has pushed to the moon right away and came out on top for the Intercontinental Title after a short time, yet his essential babyface character wasn’t interfacing with the fans, and the affirmation of his underlying foundations did close to nothing to help his objective.
It was only after he turned heel, joined the Country of Control, and began calling himself The Rock that Johnson provoked the curiosity of fans and turned into an enormously well-known megastar.
The Rock’s prosperity had barely anything to do with his family and all that to do with his own character and Moxy, and almost certainly, Raine is very much aware of that reality.
Appearing as a component of The Break is just a venturing stone for Raine, similar to what the early long periods of The Rock’s vocation for him.
