The Rock’s daughter, Simone Johnson, has announced her departure from NXT and thus, WWE.
“This past Tuesday was my last appearance on NXT & subsequently WWE. Thank you to all who have cheered, watched, and supported me through my journey. While my decision to not renew my contract was very difficult, it’s also new turning point in my life. It has been an honor & a privilege to be Ava,” she wrote on Instagram.
She had been performing under the name of Ava and was the acting general manager in NXT.
She is still only 24-years-old and appears to be seeking a new opportunity.
Johnson joined the company in 2020 and only managed six matches, two of which were singles, during her tenure.
All of those matches came back in 2023.
A serious knee injury before she joined the company that had a tendency to flare up played a significant part in that. She then gravitated towards an on-screen personality role, which she grew into very well.
