Ava Raine’s WWE Career
Raine signed with WWE in 2020, becoming the company’s first fourth-generation wrestler. She adopted the ring name Ava Raine on February 14, 2023, and made her in-ring debut on April 1, 2023, at NXT Stand & Deliver as part of Joe Gacy’s Schism faction.

Ava Raine’s 2026 WWE Exit — The Update Most Bios Miss
Most online biographies still describe Raine only as NXT’s general manager. In fact, reports in 2026 said she announced on January 30, 2026, that she would not renew her WWE contract, ending a six-year tenure with the company. Speaking about the decision later in 2026, she said there was no single reason for leaving, describing it as a personal choice rather than one dramatic incident. Her next career step has not been publicly confirmed.
Ava Raine’s Family
Raine is part of the Anoa’i wrestling family through her father and grandmother Ata Maivia Johnson, whom she has credited as an inspiration for entering wrestling — rather than her father alone. Her parents divorced when she was young, and both have remained prominent in her life: her father in entertainment and her mother in business and production alongside him.
