Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was on The Pivot Podcast where he talked about a wide range of topics including his daughter, Simone.
Simone performs in WWE NXT as Ava. In April, she made her in-ring debut on the NXT Stand & Deliver Kickoff show in an eight-person tag.
The former WWE Champion explained how pro wrestling helped bring them closer together.
“I have the privilege and honor of watching my daughter Simone (Johnson) and… I had her when I was young in my 20s and you know, as dudes, we’re still trying to find ourselves in our 20s, in our 30s. If we’re lucky, we reach our fourth level and we find ourselves a little bit (he laughed). We get a little bit more wiser. So when I had Simone, I was flying by the seat of my pants. I was wrestling full-time, I started transitioning into movies full-time. I had so much sh*t going on so I like to say me and Simone grew up together. So we had a relationship where I was always gone but we tried to keep it together. Now, years later, as she becomes a pro wrestler, it’s actually brought us closer together. So in a way, it’s helped save that relationship too so, in many ways, pro wrestling has been my family’s savior.”
