Is Ava Raine Everything Wrong With Nepo Babies?

[00:00:00]Ava Raine seemed destined for success.

[00:00:03]As the daughter of Dwayne Johnson, she comes from one of wrestling's greatest dynasties. She signed with WWE at 19 and began training in 2020. WWE didn't rush her debut, waiting until 2022 when she appeared in NXT as Ava Raine and joined Schism, giving her space to develop. However, her in-ring career never really took off. After training for over 3 years, her performances were still very basic with only a few multi-person matches that didn't show much improvement. By late 2023, she stopped wrestling and became an on-screen authority figure, eventually NXT general manager. While fans were skeptical at first, she grew into the role and was better on the mic than in the ring. Despite this, the role had limited upside, and in January 2026, Ava chose not to renew her WWE contract, reportedly deciding to step away from wrestling altogether.
