Breaking Ground: WWE Star’s Unexpected Venture Takes Center Stage
The latest episode of WWE NXT, which aired on December 5, revealed a surprising twist in the career of WWE star Ava, also known as Simone Johnson. Ava, the real-life daughter of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, took on a role during the episode that strongly resembled that of a General Manager backstage on NXT TV.
After a prolonged absence from television following the disbandment of the Schism faction, Ava reappeared over the past couple of weeks. During the recent episode, she played a pivotal role in diffusing a situation in the women’s locker room and then announced her intention to consult with Shawn Michaels to organize a match.
In a subsequent announcement directly to the camera, Ava disclosed a headline match for NXT Deadline – a steel cage showdown between Kiana James and Roxanne Perez, a match she successfully orchestrated.
In an unrelated development, NXT Anonymous injected doubt into Trick Williams’ mind concerning Carmelo Hayes and a potential partnership with Lexis King. In response, Hayes assured Trick that he would discuss the matter with Ava. Later, Melo revealed that Ava had secured a match for him at NXT Deadline against Lexis King.
Meanwhile, Tyler Bate entered the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge as the ‘last chance’ entrant after winning a fatal four-way battle against Carmelo Hayes, Eddy Thorpe, and Joe Coffey.
The countdown is almost done…#NXTDeadline comes to you live THIS SATURDAY!!!
