A new false rumor has recently surfaced within the wrestling community, this time targeting WWE NXT General Manager Ava, who is the daughter of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Fake social media posts claimed that Ava was involved in a “serious car accident,” using misleading hospital photos, images of rocks, and shots of Ava with her father to spread the hoax. One circulating message read, “Sad news. 15 minutes ago, Dwayne Johnson’s family miserably announced that Johnson’s daughter, Ava Lane, had been involved in a serious car accident on her way home.”
Ava quickly addressed the misinformation on X, directly confronting those spreading the false stories with the message, “For those who do this, hell has such a special place. It’s so weird.” This incident followed shortly after similar fake reports circulated online falsely stating that longtime WWE referee Charles Robinson had passed away, highlighting the persistence of deceptive wrestling news online.
While rumors can be harmful, spreading false information about someone’s health and family crosses a dangerous line. Ava responded promptly, but the ongoing prevalence of these damaging falsehoods underscores the reckless nature of some online rumors.
Fan Take: For WWE fans, accurate information about their favorite personalities is crucial to maintaining trust and respect within the community. False rumors like this not only cause unnecessary distress but also undermine the integrity of the sport, making it vital for the community to stand against such damaging misinformation.
