Johnson, a father of three, said Simone traveled with him to Hong Kong and Beijing where he was filming the new movie, "Skyscraper."

"I said, 'Honey, whatever your passion is I support that,'" Johnson said. "And wrestling was good to me. I started my career in Madison Square Garden, so bring it on. She's going to be a champ."
