Johnson relayed his daughter’s journey to the WWE during a virtual appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, revealing her decision blew his mind.
“First of all, what an honor that my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps but more importantly, follow in my footsteps sounds cliché, but she actually wants to create and blaze her own path, which is so important.”
“She’s 18 now, at 16 she was working her ass off quietly under the radar, in the ring getting thrown around, you know all the bumps and bruises that go with pro wrestling,” Johnson revealed. “But she hung in there, and I’m very very proud of her.”
