Some might think that being 17 years old is slightly too young to be training to be a wrestler, but when your dad is literally The Rock medical science, and indeed any sort of common sense, probably mean nothing to you. What I'm trying to say here is that, yes, Simone Johnson is on her way to being the 4th generation of Johnson at WWE.

In an interview with Lillian Garcia, Zelina Vega spoke about her work on the movie Fighting With My Family, and revealed that she'd become good friends with The Rock's daughter in the process.

“His daughter Simone and I have become so close,” Vega said. “And she’s training now at the Performance Center. To be a part of that, because she’s like I want to learn from you. I was like, dude. She was like, ‘I knew that I wanted to start wrestling for sure when I saw you at Raw doing the movie.’ I was like, dude, that’s The Rock’s daughter telling me this? What?”

I'll have to double check this, but if Simone Johnson does make it in WWE, she might well be the first ever 4th Generation Superstar in the company. Her father was, obviously, The Rock, his father was Rocky Johnson, and his father was Peter Maivia - all legitimate legends of their era. These are massive shoes for Simone to fill but, hey, if any family could do it, it's this one.
