Simone is a fourth-generation wrestler from the iconic Johnson family. Before her, the family gave us her great grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia. Following him, was his son and Simone Johnson’s grandfather – Rocky Johnson. Finally, there is her father Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
She has often expressed the personal connection she feels with wrestling. Not only does she come from a family of brilliant wrestlers, but also gets to move the legacy forward.

However, it’s too early to predict whether Simone Johnson’s name will equal the legacy of her father or even her grandfather. Nevertheless, she has often illustrated her zest to reach new heights in the wrestling universe. At the end of the day, work ethics contribute just as much as talent and skills.
Therefore, it can be assumed that Simone Johnson will make magnificent strides in wrestling. The legacy she carries on her shoulder is the motivating boost she needs to become a champion in the Women’s division.
