It appears that The Rock's daughter Simone Johnson is finally preparing for her WWE NXT television debut.
Simone Johnson signed with the company back in February of 2020 and began her training at the WWE Performance Center. Most fans expected her to be fast-tracked to television based on her Anoa'i lineage, but that didn't happen.
NXT 2.0 is currently holding the Women's Breakout Tournament, another spot where fans thought she would possibly debut, but she was nowhere to be seen.
WWE recently trademarked "Ava Raine" with the USPTO on May 13th. Simone Johnson is now using the name on her official Twitter account, which you can see embedded below.

Ava Raine could be The Rock's version of Flex Kavana
On a recent episode of NBC's Young Rock, The Rock spoke about his early days in professional wrestling as Flex Kavana. The Brahma Bull described how he wanted to blaze his own path and not use his father's name to get himself over.
Ava Raine's name certainly gives no clues or hints that it belongs to the daughter of one of the biggest WWE Superstars of all time. If the change was her idea, The Rock would likely support her in this regard.
On an episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Dwayne Johnson spoke about his daughter joining WWE and noted that Simone wants to rise to stardom due to her own skills rather than her last name.
"What an honor that my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps, but more importantly - follow in my footsteps sounds cliche - but she actually wants to create and blaze her own path," Dwayne Johnson said on an episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon [0:11 - 0:29]
With a new name and a few years of training under her belt, it appears that The Rock's daughter will be making her WWE NXT debut soon. There will be a lot of pressure on this fourth-generation star, and hopefully, she'll be ready to rise to the occasion for the WWE Universe.
Suggested: These WWE Superstars got a new ring name on the main roster (which were terrible to say the least):-
