The late ’90s saw the rise of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
During his 2023 appearance on “The Pivot Podcast,” he discussed this dilemma.
“When I had Simone, I was flying by the seat of my pants,” he explained.
“I was wrestling full time.
I started transitioning into movies full time.
So we had a relationship where I was always gone, but we tried to keep it together.”
Luckily, they did and their relationship flourished as a result.
“That’s what the presidency will do.
So, my number one priority is my daughters.”
This foundation made it all the more special for Garcia to watch her daughter’s growth.
During a 2020 interview withAlicia Atout, Simone suggested that this passion started very early for her.
“I started horseback riding when I was, I think, 6 or 7,” she said.
“And I did it on and off all the way up until I was 14.”
As with all parents, however, embarrassment comes with the full-time gig.
For Dwayne, that seems to be an aspect of parenthood he excelled in at one point.
In 2015, Dwayne sat down withExtra TVahead of the release of his film, “San Andreas.”
Given the movie’s plot, Dwayne explained the parallels between his fictional character and himself.
I’ll see you!'
I got this big pickup truck.
Outside of horseback riding, Simone had a brief modeling gig.
However, this would only lead to an even bigger feat in 2017.
This would be the first year they’d repackage their Miss/Mr.
Once 2019 rolled around, Simone was en route to completing this chapter in her life.
In May of that year, Simone graduated from high school.
“And then your babies graduate,” he wrote.
I love you and one day you’ll stop pulling away from my beastly arms and kisses."
Dark humor aside, this quickly became a reality that Dwayne had to accept for his eldest daughter.
During his 2019 appearance on “Live!
Guest co-host Maria Menounos then asked if he’d feel uncomfortable about her dating.
He continued, saying, “And if they’re not … bam [feigning wrestling move]!”
By 2020, Simone began the training process at WWE’s performance center in Orlando, Florida.
By 2021, known professional wrestling reporterDave Meltzersuggested that Simone was recognized as the “most improved trainee.”
To say her debut was a success would be an understatement.
Paired with impressive promos and ring work, Simone found herself making history time after time following her introduction.
By August 2023, Simone found herself making history yet again following the premature breakup of Schism.
“It’s official now,” she wrote.
“Welcome to a new era of NXT from the youngest GM in WWE history.”
As Dwayne began to receive a ton of hate for this decision, so did his daughter Simone.
This wouldn’t fly under Dwayne’s radar.
