"Our mission statement is clear: Remove your mask and join The Schism," Gacy said, "or be torn down."
Raine stood on the podium between Fowler and Reid. When she removed her mask, the crowd appeared to be shocked.
"The love and acceptance The Schism has given me, defies any preconceived notions of who I’m supposed to be," she said. "This family completes me. I am Ava Raine."
Raine’s real name is Simone Johnson. She is the daughter of The Rock and his first wife Dany Garcia. She began training at the WWE Performance Center in February 2020 and signed a contract with the company three months later.

There was some backlash over her ring name back in May, but she put it to bed in a tweet.
"I probably sound like a broken record & hopefully this is the last i’ll mention this but i don’t understand why people being portrayed as separate individuals from their family name is such a heated topic," she wrote. "A name doesn’t discredit any prior accomplishments from any family."
