The Rock Reveals Pro Wrestling Helped Save His Relationship With Ava

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson may no longer be wrestling, but the business continues to play an important part in his life. 

Johnson's daughter Simone currently performs as a member of the WWE NXT roster (as Ava), with the Great One revealing that wrestling has helped strengthen their relationship. 

During a recent appearance on The Pivot, the 51-year-old noted that he was wrestling full-time and making the transition to Hollywood when Simone was born. 

"I had so much sh*t going on. So, I like to say me and Simone grew up together. 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. In many ways, pro wrestling has been my family's saviour," he said. 

Simone reported to the WWE Performance Center in February of 2020. Aligned with The Schism, she has only wrestled a few matches to date (one of which was televised).
