Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s daughter, Simone Johnson, has unfortunately received death threats amidst the controversy surrounding her father’s WWE comeback. The wrestling legend turned Hollywood actor recently made his return on the ‘SmackDown’ episode, leading to a fierce backlash from viewers as it appeared he would be replacing fan favorite Cody Rhodes in a planned match with WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at ‘WrestleMania 40’.
Simone, who goes by the stage name Ava on ‘WWE NXT,’ took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her frustration, writing, “Can ya’ll just leave me out of this ffs i’m busy running a SHOW. Death threats over a situation i have nothing to do with … bffr (sic).”
The apparent plans to replace Cody at ‘WrestleMania’ have sparked widespread criticism from fans, with #WeWantCody trending on X in the United States. The backlash continued on Monday night’s episode of ‘Monday Night Raw,’ where the crowd chanted “Rocky sucks” during the show.
It’s important to note that The Rock and Roman’s match is not yet official, as WWE commentator Michael Cole emphasized. All eyes will be on a WrestleMania media and fan event in Las Vegas on Thursday, where Dwayne, Cody, and Roman are scheduled to be in attendance.
In addition to his WWE comeback, Dwayne recently joined the board of directors for TKO, a major move that signals his commitment to expanding the global reach of TKO, WWE, and UFC businesses. This comes as part of a historic merger between UFC and WWE in September 2023, in which Dwayne also took “full ownership” of The Rock name.
Dwayne expressed his excitement about this new role, stating, “Being on the TKO Board of Directors, and taking full ownership of my name, ‘The Rock’, is not only unprecedented, but incredibly inspiring as my crazy life is coming full circle.”
It’s clear that Dwayne’s return to WWE has sparked intense reactions from fans, and the situation continues to unfold with each passing day.
