The televised WWE debut of Simone Johnson will happen soon, making her dad Dwayne Johnson proud as she is carrying their family legacy in the WWE. Simone will be called Ava Raine in WWE and it seems her character will be slightly inclined to the dark side. We have been seeing her training at the WWE Performance Center for a long time now.

Recently, on July 9, NXT hosted a Live show at Englewood Neighborhood Center Orlando. One of the highlights of the show was Ava Raine came into the ring to cut a promo on the Women’s division of the third brand of WWE. A reporter, Jay Reddick, shared the pictures on his Twitter.

A day earlier she was scouting talent during a women’s match, during the live event in Citrus Springs, Florida on July 8.

As Raine cut a promo at the Live show, she has officially become the first 4th generational star in WWE.
