In an interview with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Nia Jax expressed her pride in Ava’s progress and shared her hopes of seeing her move up to the main roster.
Ava, the daughter of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, began training at the WWE Performance Center in 2020. Formerly a member of Schism in NXT, she transitioned into an authority role, becoming the General Manager of WWE NXT in January 2024. Since then, she has been a prominent figure on NXT programming.
“I’m so proud of her. She has really come into her own. Who would have thought just being the NXT general manager she would just shine in?
I even said to her the other day, ‘This year has been so good for you.’ I feel her confidence has gotten bigger. She is running that show and with ease. I can’t wait to see where it goes.
I want to see her up here on the main roster, possibly doing a similar role as well,” Jax said.
Jax is set for an in-ring appearance at WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 this Saturday, teaming with Candice LeRae to face Tiffany Stratton and Trish Stratus.
