Former WWE NXT General Manager Simone Johnson, daughter of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, recently expressed her desire to return to the ring.
Before becoming NXT’s general manager, Johnson competed in six matches for the developmental brand in 2023, and speaking at the 2023 “What do you want to talk about?” With Cody Rhodes, he admitted he wanted to give professional wrestling another try.
“I hope not. I was actually just thinking about this today. I don’t think so. I’ve got a couple of injuries to sort out and when that’s done I think so,” he explained. “I really miss actually wrestling because I’ve been away for, I think, two months. So even when I was a general manager, I was still actually training, I was still wrestling. But then my last two months there I was in so much pain that I wasn’t really wrestling. So I miss that.”
at the beginning of the year Johnson announced his departure from NXT after not renewing the contract. In the same interview with Rhodes, the 25-year-old claimed there were He wanted out of WWE for “many reasons” not having the opportunity to grow in his position in the company, being one of them.
