Much of the internet is stunned as they never saw Simone as a WWE girl, especially when she has much to live up to with her dad being a legend in the industry.
However, this change dates all the way back to 2020 when Simone signed for the WWE franchise to carry on the family tradition.
Simone is now the fourth generation of her family to become a wrestler. She follows in the footsteps of her father, grandfather 'Soulman' Rocky Johnson, and great-grandfather 'High Chief' Peter Maivia.

We fondly remember the legendary "Soulman" Rocky Johnson who passed away just 2 years ago today. Rocky was a fixture front and center at our Legends Lunches in Tampa, he was a friend to us all and is greatly missed. pic.twitter.com/Horbkmkirn

“First of all, what an honour that my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps but more importantly, follow in my footsteps sounds cliché, but she actually wants to create and blaze her own path, which is so important.”
Simone adds: "To know that my family has such a personal connection to wrestling is really special to me and I feel grateful to have the opportunity, not only to wrestle, but to carry on that legacy."
We wish Simone all the best as she starts her WWE wrestling journey and can't wait to see what she brings to the ring.
