Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: "Pro Wrestling Has Been My Family's Savior"


Pro wrestling has saved the Johnson family.

Which Johnson family?

"The Great One."

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson recently appeared as a guest on the critically-acclaimed podcast, The Pivot, for an in-depth interview covering everything in his life and careers.

During the discussion, the future WWE Hall of Fame legend explained how the pro wrestling business has been a savior for his family, particularly speaking on how it helped his relationship with his daughter Simone Johnson, better known to WWE NXT fans as Ava Raine.

“I had so much sh*t going on," Rock said about the time in his life when his daughter came into his world. "So, I like to say me and Simone grew up together."

Johnson continued, 'We had a relationship where I was always gone, but we tried to keep it together. Now years later as she becomes a pro wrestler, it’s actually brought us closer together. So, in a way, it’s helped save that relationship too. In many ways, pro wrestling has been my family’s savior."
