The Rock's daughter flaunts her new look on Twitter after her name change

The Rock’s daughter Simone Johnson aka Ava Raine is ready to make her in-ring debut. She recently flaunted her new look on Twitter after having her ring name changed.

A few weeks ago, news surfaced that Simone Johnson, The Rock’s daughter was given a new ring name. Her name was changed to Ava Raine. With the new name, WWE is hinting at a possible in-ring debut that is fast approaching. On her Twitter, Ava Raine revealed her new look flaunting her black hair with red streaks. She previously had blonde hair.

After the big reveal, WWE superstar Zelina Vega and producer Hurricane Helms tweeted their thoughts on the new look of Ava Raine.  Zelina Vega is seemingly hinting at teaming up with Ava Raine in the future. 

The 20-year-old currently trains at WWE’s performance center and has been awarded the most improved development talent.

Given that she is The Rock’s daughter, she has huge shoes to fill. Dropping the last name of “Johnson” was taken positively by Simone as she took to Twitter opining on the matter. 

“I probably sound like a broken record & hopefully, this is the last I’ll mention this but I don’t understand why people being portrayed as separate individuals from their family name is such a heated topic,” Johnson wrote. “A name doesn’t discredit any prior accomplishments from any family. Could build my entire career around my father & people would still bash me anyway.

The hype surrounding her debut continues to grow as the WWE universe awaits to see “The Great One’s” daughter rub shoulders with other talents on the roster.
