WWE Signs The Rock’s Cousin to a Developmental Deal, Details on How She Got Her Start in Pro Wrestling
May 26, 2014
According to The Wrestling Observer, one of WWE's new developmental Diva signings is Savelina "Lina" Fanene, who is of Samoan descent and is The Rock's cousin. Her grandfather and The Rock's great grandmother were brother and sister.
Lina, who is from California, has a background in sports and apparently was a star basketball player. She attended WrestleMania 28 with John Cena vs. The Rock as the main event and after that show, The Rock's mother Ata Johnson suggested that she try pro wrestling. At first Lina wasn't interested and thought the idea was crazy but started looking into wrestling schools in California. She had the tryout with WWE and they saw enough in her to sign her to a deal
