The Rock’s daughter Ava receives backlash for comments she shared following the assassination of Charlie Kirk
Ava, WWE NXT’s General Manager and daughter of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, received negative feedback for her social media activity following the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk. It started when Ava shared an X post from comedian Gianmarco Soresi on her Instagram story which read, “If you want people to have kind words when you pass, you should say kind things when you’re alive.” Ava later wrote on Twitter/X, “And I’ll stand behind this. be kind, now more than ever.”
Some fans on social media have called for WWE to fire Ava. Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following in regards to Ava getting heat…
“Of course this led to backlash, and the backlash got some mainstream media coverage. One person in WWE noted to us that if it was almost anyone else, they’d be told to take that down, but nobody will tell her.”
