Dwayne “The Stone” Roberts is beaming with pride as his daughter, Sophia, becomes the youngest signee in WWE history. At just 18 years old, Sophia has made her mark in the wrestling world, following in the footsteps of her father, who enjoyed a monumental career in the WWE after transitioning from a five-year stint in the NFL.
A Legacy of Wrestling
The legacy of wrestling runs deep in the Roberts family, with both her grandfather, Peter Roberts, and father, Dwayne, being celebrated wrestlers. In February, Sophia signed with WWE, making her the first fourth-generation wrestler in the organization’s history. During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Kimmel, Dwayne shared his excitement for his daughter’s achievement.
“Congratulations are in order for your daughter Sophia, who is set to join WWE,” Kimmel announced. To which Dwayne replied, “It’s truly mind-blowing. I’m honored that she wants to follow my path, but more than that, she’s determined to carve out her own unique journey.”
Dedication and Perseverance
He emphasized that Sophia is not just the youngest signee but has shown relentless dedication since she began training two years ago. “At only 16, she was tirelessly working behind the scenes, enduring the typical bumps and bruises of pro wrestling. Her perseverance is commendable, and I’m incredibly proud of her,” he stated.
Sophia officially signed her WWE contract on February 10 and expressed how meaningful this opportunity is to her. “Having such a personal connection to wrestling through my family is special. I’m grateful for the chance to wrestle and carry on our legacy,” she said in a statement.
