Dwayne The Rock Johnson’s Daughter Makes A WWE Debut, The Rock Reacts To It
Dwayne Johnson cannot hide his pride and happiness from his daughter’s debut in WWE. She is the third generation that takes part in professional wrestling. Dwayne followed in his father’s footsteps, and the legacy is now continuing through his daughter.
While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, The Rock Johnson reveals without holding back at all that he is ‘extremely proud’ of his ‘fiercely independent’ daughter who he sees as his mini-me.
“She’s made history. Very, very proud of her.” – The rock states. “She is fiercely independent. It’s very important for her to make her own way, and blaze her own trail, blaze her own path. She doesn’t come to me looking for a lot, which I respect that. And I’m here watching and supporting.”
Aside from his daughter, which will feel her father’s success as a major wind in the back, The Rock answered some questions regarding his WWE plans as well. When asked if he will ever come back to WWE once more in near future Dwayne reveals that he has thought about it and is ‘open for that’ at any time.
Simone made her debut now, however she signed with the WWE back in February 2020. Then she was unveiled as the youngest and newest trainee in the company.
Since then, the WWE shared photos and videos of The Rock visiting the Performance Centre to ‘guide’ his daughter through the training. He even entered the ring and showed his daughter and her companions a few tips and tricks.
“It was great because he got to see everyone there.” – Simone says referring to her father’s visit. “He got to see how our culture is here. And then obviously I love spending time with him but to be able to train with him and do something I know we both love, it was great.”
