According to a report from Pro Wrestling Sheet, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s daughter, Simone Johnson, has reportedly begun training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
Sources tell Pro Wrestling Sheet that Simone has been training part-time at the PC for the past few months, mainly just occasional sessions with trainers, but there’s word going around that the 17-year-old will be starting at the facility in a more serious manner in the near future.
The report comes following Zelina Vegas’ interview on Lilian Garcia’s Chasing Glory podcast, where Vega discussed and confirmed Simone’s training at the Performance Center:
“His daughter Simone and I have become so close. And she’s training now at the Performance Center. To be a part of that, because she’s like I want to learn from you. I was like, dude. She was like, ‘I knew that I wanted to start wrestling for sure when I saw you at Raw doing the movie.’ I was like, dude, that’s The Rock’s daughter telling me this? What?”
Last year, Simone expressed her interested in wanting to pursue a career wrestling with The Holloywood Report:
“It’s a sport that is unlike anything else in the world. There’s just a certain amount of passion that every move and match requires, and that’s so admirable. It’s definitely something I’ve thought about and want to pursue.”
Would you like to see Simone Johnson follow in the wrestling footsteps of her father?
