5 WWE legends' children who were reportedly training to become wrestlers but never did

A few WWE legends' children have reportedly trained to become wrestlers. However, they never competed inside the squared circle.

Several WWE legends' children are currently active in Vince McMahon's company. Women's Tag Team Champion Carmella and NXT Champion Bron Breakker are two examples. A few others have also become wrestlers and are currently competing in other promotions, including AEW and IMPACT Wrestling.

Nevertheless, some legends' children have not become in-ring performers despite training to become so. A few of them previously worked in the business in non-wrestling positions. Meanwhile, others have pursued careers elsewhere.

Here are five WWE legends' children who were reportedly training to become wrestlers but never did.

#5. WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley's daughter: Noelle Foley

Mick Foley kicked off his wrestling career nearly four decades ago and has competed in different promotions, including WCW, WWE, and IMPACT Wrestling (FKA Total Nonstop Wrestling). The 56-year-old's daughter, Noelle, has also tried to follow in his footsteps a few years ago.

In 2014, PWInsider reported that Noelle had started training to become a wrestler. A few years later, she participated in a tryout at the Performance Center. The "Holy Foley!" show, which aired on the WWE Network in 2016-17, highlighted her tryout.

Unfortunately for Noelle, she failed the tryout. In an interview with Wrestling Inc, Foley's daughter spoke about the experience, disclosing that being filmed during training was "nerve-racking."

"Filming while training was incredible nerve-racking, it's like you're just learning but then you have all these eyes on you, and cameras, and trainers. Even when I had my tryout, I looked out of the corner of my eye and I see Triple H, and I'm like, 'Oh my goodness.' (...) "My tryout was with girls that were already signed, so it was a bit overwhelming at times, but it's cool looking back like, 'Wow, I actually did that," she said.

In 2018, Foley revealed to Wrestling Inc that his daughter had stopped training due to injury and will no longer be pursuing a wrestling career.

"No, she got banged up quite a bit. Injured, not just banged up but injured," he said.

Noelle has been battling with concussion issues for more than two years now. She recently disclosed that she was also diagnosed with a rare hearing disorder.

The 28-year-old, who holds a degree in marketing, is now a Content Creator and Influencer. She has a million followers on Instagram.

#4. WWE Hall of Famer Jim Neidhart's daughter: Jennifer Neidhart

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Neidhart kicked off his wrestling career in the 1970s and competed in the ring for nearly four decades before finally hanging up his boots in 2016. His daughter, Natalya, has also followed in his footsteps and became a wrestler. She is currently one of the top female superstars in Vince McMahon's company.

Neidhart's oldest daughter, Jennifer (Jenni), also had some wrestling training. During a Q&A session on YouTube last February, a fan asked Jennifer about the possibility of seeing her in WWE soon. Although she did not give a definitive answer to the question, Jenni revealed that she was learning the ropes.

"Just a little bit. Haven't you seen the chops? Is that not enough Peter? What more do you want?" she said.

Jenni and Natalya are very close. The two sisters host a YouTube show called The Neidharts, where Natalya sometimes shows Jenni how to perform wrestling moves, like the sharpshooter.

Although she went through wrestling training, it does not seem like Jenni will ever pursue an in-ring career. Instead, she seems focused on being a YouTuber and Instagram Influencer besides her original job as a chef and baker.

#3. WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan's son: Nick Hogan

Hulk Hogan is arguably the greatest superstar in WWE history. Although his son, Nick, initially wanted to follow in his footsteps, he did not.

Nearly a decade ago, Nick was training to become a wrestler. His trainers were WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi and former Brood member, Gangrel. However, the 31-year-old kept dislocating his left shoulder. Hence, he decided to stop pursuing a wrestling career and become a DJ instead.

Despite this, Hogan's son recently disclosed that he has not ruled out pursuing a wrestling career in the future.

"You know, I never rule it out. I think about it all the time and I never rule it out. There’s always a couple times a year where I take a break from the music schedule and I really think about how I want to carve some time over here [FSW in Las Vegas]. Last year, actually, I made some plans to go and start getting in the ring to bounce around again because it’s been a couple of years. Right when I was going there, I dislocated my shoulder again (...) It feels good right now and I have been thinking about going back there in FSW to get back in the ring and just get a little try-out to see what’s left, you know?" he told Luche Libre Online.

In addition to his music career, Nick recently established a new business, Spirit Auto Sports. He is also an active YouTuber. Hogan's son now has more than 13 thousand subscribers on his channel.

#2. WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan's daughter: Brooke Hogan

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan's daughter, Brooke, also trained to become a wrestler a few years ago. Unlike her brother Nick, the 33-year-old previously worked in the wrestling business.

Brooke made a few appearances in Vince McMahon's company alongside her father. She also worked for a few years in IMPACT Wrestling as an on-screen authority figure.

In an interview with Access Live in 2018, Hogan's daughter revealed that she previously trained at the Team 3D Academy in Orlando. She also disclosed that she was considering following in her father's footsteps.

"You know what, I'm considering it. I'm thinking about it. I've had training, probably not enough, but I actually own my own female league that I'm doing (...) I think about it. Everyone wants me to wrestle Charlotte Flair," she said.

However, Brooke has never competed inside the squared circle so far. She is now an actress and producer. The WWE Hall of Famer's daughter is also a reality television star, singer, songwriter, media personality and model.

Brooke has starred in a few movies, including Sand Sharks, School of the Dead, and Give Me My Baby. She also released two music albums, Undiscovered and The Redemption. The former IMPACT Wrestling star recently released a new single, "Better".

#1. WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart's daughter: Alexandra Hart (Beans)

Several members of the legendary Hart family have worked in WWE over the past few decades, including Hall of Famer Bret Hart. The Hitman's daughter, Alexandra, also wanted to pursue a wrestling career a few years ago.

In 2013, Diva-Dirt reported that Alexandra had started training to become a wrestler. However, she never competed in any matches over the next six years, which raised doubts about her willingness to follow in her father's footsteps.

In 2019, the 33-year-old confirmed in an interview with the Calgary Herald that she did train to become a WWE competitor and was proud of her sense of strength and muscularity during that time. Nevertheless, she stopped training after giving birth to her first child.

In October 2019, Bret Hart's daughter opened a healthy-food restaurant in her family's hometown, Calgary.

"I wanted to build a product where people knew where their food was coming from and use local suppliers from around Alberta. I’m so proud to be a Hart. I wanted to show my own gratitude to Calgary by giving them a place they could come and also feel like they’re part of the family," she told the Calgary Herald about her project.

Unfortunately, Alexandra's Hart Healthy Food restaurant went out of business only three months later.
