In a post on his official Instagram account, former WWE Champion turned actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson congratulated Thea Trinidad (the former Rosita in TNA) on signing a WWE contract.

Thea will be appearing in The Rock’s “Fighting With My Family” movie, based off the family of WWE women’s wrestler Paige and her family, playing the role of AJ Lee in the movie when Paige makes her main roster debut.

After years of hard work and grind.. Congratulations to my good bud/mentee @theatrinidadtmt on finally signing her @WWE contract. When we met years ago, I always felt she had star potential but more importantly, I knew she was a good quality human being. When the opportunity came along, I cast her in a starring role in our @sevenbucksprod's #FightingWithMyFamily. Her performance was brillIant. So much so, upon wrapping our movie, WWE saw that star potential and offered her a contract. Her relentless drive and resilience to "make it" comes from a very powerful and emotional backstory with her father. They bonded by watching wrestling and she made a promise to him that one day she would make it in the WWE. Sadly, her father passed away in the 9/11 attacks and never saw Thea's dream come true. But you know he's right there with her and so proud. We're rooting for her every step of the way. Congrats Thea and as we always talk about, be the hardest worker in the room. #Respect #Trinidad #WWE ????????
