Simone Garcia Johnson is an American professional wrestler. She is signed to WWE under the ring name Ava (shortened from her previous ring name Ava Raine) and appears as the on-screen general manager of the NXT brand, making her the youngest on-screen general manager in the company's history. Johnson is a fourth-generation wrestler, being the daughter of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, connecting her to the Anoaʻi family of Samoan wrestlers.
On the October 25, 2022, episode of NXT, Johnson made her first televised appearance, revealing herself to be a member of Joe Gacy's villainous faction, Schism. She debuted under the ring name Ava Raine, but this was later shortened to Ava on February 14, 2023. Ava made her in-ring debut on April 1 at Stand & Deliver with Schism, losing to Chase University. Schism would slowly begin to disband in September 2023, starting with the expiration of The Dyad's contracts on September 14, and culminating in a backstage segment in October where Gacy declared that Schism is dead. After Schism, she became the on-screen assistant of Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels. On January 23, 2024, she was promoted to become the new General Manager of NXT, becoming the youngest general manager in WWE. Ava made her main roster debut appearance three days later on SmackDown where she assisted General Manager Nick Aldis with the Royal Rumble entry draw. At NXT Stand & Deliver on April 6, she announced the creation of the NXT Women's North American Championship. The title was introduced as the equivalent to its male counterpart, making the title the first women's secondary championship in WWE.
