His grandma was in wrestling

The wrestling ties in the family didn’t end with Johnson’s father and grandfather and his grandmother, Lia Maivia also had a big role in it. Maivia was a pioneer in the business and she was one of the first ever female wrestling promoters and running the Polynesian Pro Wrestling.

She was considered to be a strong-willed businesswoman and Johnson had so much respect and love for his grandmother who was a true inspiration to him. Johnson even bought his grandmother a home after she ended up homeless.
