The Rock's daughter was threatened by fans after her father stole Cody Rhodes' Mania spot 

WWE fans are fuming over a controversy which made it look like The Rock has taken over the main event spot against Roman Reigns in WrestleMania. Since Rhodes won the 2024 Royal Rumble and directly pointed at Roman Reigns, fans were content that they are having a WrestleMania re-match in Philadelphia. However, fans were flabbergasted when the Brahma Bull showed up and stared down Reigns. The fans' criticism has now reached the Johnson family, as his daughter Simone Johnson (aka Ava in NXT) revealed that she has been receiving death threats over The Rock robbing Cody Rhodes. 

'can ya’ll just leave me out of this ffs i’m busy running a SHOW,' Ava tweeted on X (Formerly Twitter).

'death threats over a situation i have nothing to do with … bffr,' she added in another tweet.
