However, Simone Johnson is following Dwayne’s footsteps as a professional wrestler and is becoming the youngest person in history to sign with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

“It blows my mind. What an honour that my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps” the proud father told Jimmy Fallon in a virtual interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “It sounds cliché, but she actually wants to create and blaze her own path.”

Before embarking on a wrestling career, Simone who stands at 5 foot 10 inches (178cm) in height is a model and was signed with IMG models in 2017. IMG represents most of the top 10 highest-paid models in the world.
