Ava Raine speaks out to address her recent controversy and answering for whether the real life daughter of The Rock has been brainwashed.

Addressing her controversial promo last week detailing her decision to join The Schism, Ava Raine (real name, Simone Johnson) blended reality with storyline in her explanation.

Noting her real injury during training at the performance center, she noted that it was Joe Gacy who reached out to her during her time of immobility.

Providing opportunity for all of the members of Schism to speak, the segment was still justifiably focused on Ava Raine who is also sporting one red contact lens as a part of her new look.

Schism continues their feud with Cameron Grimes as the segment also revealed that Joe Gacy would be taking on Grimes one final time on next week’s November 8 NXT.
