  • Ava Blasts Trump and ICE in First Post-WWE Statement

    Ava, real name Simone Johnson, took to Twitter with a pointed message the day after announcing her departure from WWE. The daughter of Dwayne \”The Rock\” Johnson served as NXT general manager since January 2024. She chose not to renew her contract, which expired on January 30, 2026.

    This marks her first public statement since leaving WWE, where she apparently held back such comments while under contract.

    Ava posted on X, \”and now that i can say this with my full chest, [middle finger emoji] ice and that entire administration.\”

    The tweet has since been deleted.

    Johnson made her WWE in-ring debut in 2020 and transitioned to the NXT front office role nearly two years ago.
