In a shocking move, NXT General Manager Ava has announced her departure from WWE, leaving the wrestling world wondering what’s next for the 24-year-old leader and daughter of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The news broke via Instagram, where Ava revealed her decision to conclude her tenure with the company.
A Brief but Eventful Tenure
Ava, whose real name is Simone Johnson, signed with WWE in February 2020, joining the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. Since then, she has been a prominent figure in NXT, bringing her unique blend of leadership and charisma to the role of General Manager. Under her guidance, NXT has experienced significant growth and success, with many believing she played a crucial role in shaping the brand’s identity.
However, Ava’s tenure was not without challenges. Behind the scenes, sources close to the situation revealed that Ava faced difficulties balancing her creative vision with the demands of working in a large and often bureaucratic organization like WWE. These internal struggles may have contributed to her decision to leave.
Backstage Reaction
While reactions to Ava’s departure are still unfolding, one thing is clear: the NXT locker room is in shock. According to a WWE insider, many of the NXT Superstars are “sad to see her go,” but also “respect her decision to pursue new opportunities.”

As the wrestling world adjusts to Ava’s departure, fans are left wondering who might replace her as NXT General Manager. While WWE has yet to announce a successor, sources suggest that several candidates are being considered for the role.
One name that has been mentioned in recent weeks is NXT Superstar, Roxanne Perez. According to sources close to the situation, Perez has been impressing WWE officials with her leadership skills and work ethic, making her a strong contender for the General Manager position.

While Ava’s departure from WWE marks the end of an era, it’s clear that this is only the beginning of a new chapter in her journey. When asked about her future plans, Ava remained tight-lipped, but hinted that she’s “excited to explore new opportunities” both in and out of the wrestling world.
