The Rock’s daughter & former WWE NXT GM disabled her Twitter account.
Simone Johnson, the daughter of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, has found herself at the center of attention following her recent exit from WWE.
The former NXT General Manager, known on television as Ava, confirmed last week that she chose not to renew her contract and has officially wrapped up her time with the company.
The 24-year-old announced her departure on social media, thanking fans for their support and calling the decision a difficult but necessary turning point.
Johnson originally signed with WWE in early 2020, beginning her career as an in-ring competitor before transitioning into an on-screen authority role. She was named NXT General Manager in January 2024, a position she held until her final appearance earlier this month.
Deleted post draws immediate attention
Shortly after confirming her WWE departure, Johnson shared a now-deleted post on social media that quickly sparked controversy.
In the message, she wrote: “And now that i can say this with my full chest, 🖕🏽 ice and that entire administration.”
The post referenced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which has faced renewed public criticism in recent weeks.
ICE has been under scrutiny following reports of fatal shooting incidents involving federal agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last month.
Protests and clashes between residents and immigration authorities have followed, with demonstrators accusing ICE of violating constitutional rights, particularly due process protections under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
Johnson disabled her X (formerly Twitter) account just hours after the post circulated, though her other social media platforms remain active. No further public explanation has been given regarding the statement or her decision to take it down.
WWE ties and timing raise questions
Why Johnson chose this moment to speak out remains unclear, but the timing has fueled speculation. WWE maintains long-standing ties to the Trump administration. Paul Triple H Levesque, the company’s Chief Content Officer, currently serves on the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. Meanwhile, Linda McMahon, the former WWE executive, is serving as acting U.S. Secretary of Education.
Johnson has not commented further since disabling her account. As she steps away from WWE, her brief but pointed statement suggests a willingness to speak more openly now that she is no longer tied to the company. What comes next for Simone Johnson professionally or publicly remains to be seen.
