During a recent appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America to promote his latest film, Skyscraper, former WWE Champion Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson noted that his oldest daughter, 16-year-old Simone, intends to one day wrestle in WWE:
“You know what the crazy thing about my oldest daughter, Simone, is she’s so smart, we’re all so proud of her. She’s going into her senior year. She signed with IMG as a model. She was Golden Globes Ambassador. Simone, is working so hard, and her work has already started, she wants to be a WWE wrestler.
“Yes! I love that idea and I think – we had this big conversation. She came with me to Hong Kong and Beijing and I said ‘Honey, whatever your passion is, I support that.’ It (wrestling) was good to me, I started my career in Madison Square Garden so, yeah. Bring it on. She’s gonna be a champ!”
