WWE Icon The Rock recently shared his thoughts on his daughter Ava Raine (Simone Johnson) as she begins her wrestling journey.

At age 20, Raine follows in the footsteps of her great-grandfather Peter Maivia, grandfather Rocky Johnson, and father Dwayne Johnson, looking to carve out her own story in the world of wrestling.

During a recent interview with ET, The Great One said how proud he is of his daughter becoming a fourth-generation wrestler:

"She's fourth, [generation], She's made history. Very very proud of her." Johnson added: "She is fiercely independent, It’s very important for her to make her own way. Blaze her own trail. Blaze her own path. She doesn't come to me looking for a lot which I respect that. And I'm here watching and supporting." (H/T: ETOnline)

While coming from an iconic wrestling family has its perks, there are also plenty of cons.

Recently, Ava Raine took to Twitter where she stated that no matter how WWE presents her, there'll always be a section of fans who'll never be satisfied:

"I could build my entire career around my father & people would still bash me anyway." (H/T: Twitter)

While she'll always be proud to be The Rock's daughter, like children of other iconic wrestlers, Ava Raine is looking to create her wrestling legacy.
