The 21-year-old also shared a photo in character to Instagram, captioning it simply, \"saved.\"

Simone Johnson comes from a long line of iconic family wrestlers. In addition to her father, who went by the name \"The Rock\" in the ring, she also follows in the footsteps of her grandfather, \"Soulman\" Rocky Johnson, and her great-grandfather, \"High Chief\" Peter Maivia -- all of whom are in the Hall of Fame.

The \"Black Adam\" star praised his daughter in February 2020 when she signed with the WWE, sharing a photo of her hugging him and writing, \"Dreams ain't just for dreamers.

\"Carry our family name proudly, but your road will always be yours to create, earn & own,\" he wrote in the caption of that Instagram post, noting that she is \"the first ever 4th generation WWE athlete.\"

\"So proud. Live your dream,\" he added. \"Let's work.\"
