"To the little girl who fell in love with wrestling & said 'this will be my life one day', this is for you. I'm humbled, grateful & ready to work. Let's do this," she wrote.
In a statement, Simone said she feels a great sense of connection to the sport.
"It means the world to me. To know that my family has such a personal connection to wrestling is really special to me and I feel grateful to have the opportunity, not only to wrestle, but to carry on that legacy."

"Simone knows she has a lot to learn," Bloom said.
"She's hungry to learn and picks the coaches' minds, and the veteran Superstars', as well. She's not going to rest on her laurels. It's been a short time, but she's been crushing it."
Simone's news will warm the ears of Kiwis thanks to Dwayne Johnson's connection to New Zealand.
