The Rock's daughter training at WWE Performance Center

Simone Johnson, the 17-year-old daughter of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, has begun her quest to become a WWE Superstar.

On Monday's episode of Lilian Garcia's "Chasing Glory" podcast, Zelina Vega opened up about her friendship with the Johnsons and revealed that Simone has started training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando.

"His daughter Simone and I have become so close," Vega said. "She's training now at the Performance Center. She's like, 'I want to learn from you.' She said, 'I knew that I wanted to start wrestling for sure when I saw you at "Raw" doing the movie ("Fighting with my Family").'"

Pro Wrestling Sheet's Ryan Satin provided more details, reporting that Simone has been training at the facility on a part-time basis for the past few months. He also noted that it's believed Simone will start training "in a more serious manner in the near future."
