Simone Johnson is just 18 years old at this point who is looking forward to making her debut to the big league. But for now, she will have to undergo the intense training procedure that helps her to become a bonafide WWE superstar, someday. There’s no word on when WWE would let her appear on TV but it is likely that NXT will be the first show to feature this woman.

“It means the world to me,” Simone Johnson said in a press release. “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.”
The Rock is yet to make a statement on his daughter’s WWE joining. Triple H, a long-time friend to The Great One and the EVP of talent relations has spoken up on this newest recruit by WWE from a family that has given so much to the pro-wrestling.

Triple H added, “Simone Johnson’s unbridled passion and incredible drive has earned her a coveted spot training with the elite athletes from around the world at the WWE Performance Center. Not only does Simone now have an opportunity to cultivate and display her passion for WWE within the Performance Center, but she’ll carry on the tradition of her incredible family lineage while creating her own impact as WWE’s first fourth-generation Superstar.”
More on Simone Johnson is likely to be available as WWE will release an interview, later. It was noted that Simone will have a chat session with Cathy Kelley at 3 pm ET this Wednesday on WWE’s digital platforms. So we have to keep the Youtube and Twitter feeds updates on the given time.
The Samoan Dynasty’s legacy in WWE continued with the signing of Simone Johnson. It should be noted that Roman Reigns and The Usos also belong to the same roots and WWE often portrays this on a storyline perspective to highlight the fact.
