Dwayne Johnson’s eldest daughter, Simone, walked in her father’s footsteps and made her pro-wrestling debut last year. The 21-year-old, who goes by the in-ring name Ava Raine, is currently honing her skills in NXT, WWE’s developmental territory, as part of the Schism stable. On the recent episode of NXT, one of Raine’s actions caused massive embarrassment for her legendary father, as fans had a field day with calling her out on social media.

Fans question Dwayne Johnson’s daughter’s pro-wrestling abilities

At the aforementioned event, NXT Tag Team Champions Gallus faced Jagger Reid and Rip Fowler of The Dyad- a part of Schism- with the titles on the line. Raine, who was at the ringside, did her best to distract Gallus’ Mark Coffey and Wolfgang, in an effort to hand her team the victory.

Just when her scheme started to work, Ivy Nile of the Diamond Mine attacked her. The 31-year-old landed punches on The Rock’s daughter before being separated by others. As the company shared the video on Instagram, fans commented on the 21-year-old’s pro-wrestling skills.

This fan was left unimpressed by her acting skills: “The rocks daughter s*cks so bad she can’t even properly act like she got jumped.”

Another user used one of Ava’s father’s iconic catchphrases to mock her: “She laid the SMACKDOWN on her CANDY A*S.”

People also dragged the 51-year-old icon into the discussion. While one said, “Rocks daughter not looking so tough,” another commented, “The talent on the Rock’s side must’ve slipped a generation.”

And others kept it straightforward.

“Ava is really not it!!!”“Ava is a terrible wrestler, she is the new Eva 😂”

On the other hand, The Final Girl had her response ready about the incident.

Just days prior, Ava displayed her acting chops as she helped her team secure a victory by distracting the referee. This win was crucial as it helped the Dyad with a shot at the Tag Team titles. She could have helped her teammates steal another win if not for the attack.
