Can you smell what Simone is cooking? WWE Now has officially confirmed that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s daughter is now training at the WWE Performance Center. If Simone makes it onto the roster, she will become the first fourth-generation WWE Superstar in history, following in the footsteps of her father, Rocky Johnson and “High Chief” Peter Maivia.

WWE PC trainers Matt Bloom and Sara Amato both talk about how much passion she’s already showing for the industry. Bloom also states that she seems eager to learn from veteran superstars who visit the facility.
Cathey Kelly announces that she’ll have a sitdown interview with the new trainee this Wednesday on WWE’s YouTube channel. That interview will also feature The Rock talking about his daughter carrying on the family legacy.
