Over the years we have seen many new wrestlers in the WWE, and some of them were kids of former WWE Superstars. We all know how much the chairman of the WWE loves second and third generation superstars, and this is why many wrestlers in the WWE have wrestling running in their blood.

Wrestlers like John Cena and Triple H made a name for themselves, while wrestlers like Roman Reigns and Randy Orton are keeping their father’s names alive in the business.

Some former WWE wrestlers were succeeded by their children, but there are still some wrestlers who didn’t live up to the expectations of fans.

Lets take a look at 3 WWE wrestlers who are superstars like their dads, and 2 who might be in the future.


#5 Superstar: Natalya

Natalya

Natalya is the daughter of late WWE Superstar Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. He was a 2-time WWF (now WWE) Tag Team Champion, and was a member of famous stable - The Hart Foundation. Jim was considered one of the most underrated superstars in the WWE because he didn't get the treatment he deserved in the company.

Natalya did a great job in building the feud between Alexa Bliss and Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey. However, it seems like Natalya is not getting the push she deserves and now she just became a sidekick for The Rowdy One. She is a 1-time WWE Divas Champion, and a 1-time SmackDown Women's Champion as well.

In the past few months, WWE hasn't been booking her strongly as compared to other female wrestlers on the roster. But next month, the first ever women's pay-per-view 'Evolution' is going to happen in the WWE and we can expect that with this event Natalya could find her way back to the main card.

#4 Superstar: Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair is the daughter of WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair. He is considered as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. His daughter Charlotte has also proved herself in the ring.

She does an excellent job in the ring as well as on the microphone, and she is currently feuding with SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, and it is safe to say that she is one of the main reasons fans love to see women’s wrestling in the WWE.

She is a 1-time Divas Champion, 4-time Raw Women’s Champion, and 2-time SmackDown Women’s Champion as well.

Ric Flair ruled over the wrestling world for many years, and now his daughter Charlotte is keeping his name alive in the business. Although she is getting boos from the fans in her feud with Lynch, it does not change the fact that she is an awesome WWE Superstar.

#3 Might be in future: Dominic Gutierrez

Recently, Rey Mysterio revealed that his son Dominic had started a 3 months training course in Lance Storm's pro-wrestling academy.

Many of you already know him because many years ago he was featured in a controversial angle between Mysterio and Guerrero, where Eddie claimed to be Dominic's biological father.

Rey Mysterio is one of the best high flyers in the company, and with his son also preparing to become a professional wrestler, we can expect that in future Dominic may become a big superstar as well.

#2 Superstar: The Rock

The Rock has become one of the most famous names in the pro wrestling world, and if we include his acting career as well, then undoubtedly he is one of the most successful people in the world.

He is the son of the famous wrestler and boxer Rocky Johnson. However his father didn't win any world title in the WWE, but still fans consider him one of the greatest of his time.

The Rock has achieved everything in the WWE, and now he is making it big in Hollywood as well.

#1 Might be in future: Simone Johnson

Simone is the daughter of WWE Legend Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Currently, she is training in the WWE Performance Center on a part-time schedule.

Her father The Rock and her grandfather Rocky Johnson were able to make their name in wrestling, and we can expect the same from Simone.

At the moment, she is not focusing on her training much, but once she completes her high school studies, then her primary focus will be on wrestling.


Do you think Simone or Dominic will be able to make it big in wrestling? Have your say in the comments.
