Having an established professional wrestler as a parent would definitely put some pressure on the children as some of them would naturally contemplate the possibility of them following in their parent's footsteps. We have seen multiple pro wrestling children breaking their way into the business and carrying on the legacy of their parents, and current WWE superstar and Rey Mysterio's son Dominik Mysterio would be a good example here.
Likewise, there are several wrestling children who are either already in the business or training to make their debut in the future. With that said, let's take a look at ten such wrestler sons and daughters you might not know are following their parent's footsteps in the business.
10 Bianca Carelli
First on the list is former WWE superstar Santino Marella's daughter Bianca Carelli. Bianca chose to follow her father's path into the business and made her official in-ring debut in January 2020.
She trained at the Cross Body Pro Wrestling Academy and went on to appear for promotions like Northland Wrestling, Coastal Championship Wrestling, and NWA before she made her way to WWE in April 2022.
She currently performs in NXT under the name Arianna Grace, and her notable matches include the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament first-round match against Nikkita Lyons, and her recent NXT Women's title match against champions, Katana Chance and Kayden Carter by teaming up with Kiana James.
9 Marshall & Ross Von Erich
Marshall and Ross Von Erich are the next descendants from the legendary Von Erich family to break out into the pro wrestling industry. They are the sons of WWE Hall of Famer and 5-time NWA American Heavyweight Champion Kevin Von Erich.
They made their debuts in April 2012 and started performing in the World League Wrestling promotion before finding their way to Pro Wrestling Noah. They have also appeared for Impact Wrestling and are now competing for Major League Wrestling, where they held the tag team championship for 438 days.
8 Teal Piper
The late WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has four children, two of whom ventured out into the pro wrestling business. While his son Colt Toombs worked as a wrestler for a short time between January 2013 and November 2014, his daughter Teal Piper is now following in her father's footsteps in the business.
She made her in-ring debut for All Elite Wrestling at the 2019 All Out event and then went on to make appearances for Women of Wrestling. She works a lighter schedule as an in-ring performer, and her last recorded matches took place for the USA Pro Wrestling and Diamond Championship Wrestling promotions.
7 Bronwyne Billington
The late pro wrestling legend Dynamite Kid is well-known for his time alongside Davey Boy Smith as The British Bulldogs. He has three biological children, one of whom is his daughter Bronwyne Billington, who is following in his footsteps in the business.
She's not working as an in-ring performer but made appearances for Stampede Wrestling and other Canadian promotions under the name Dynamite Doll, as a valet for her husband and pro wrestler Dynamite Dan. She's still actively involved in the business and has been recently promoting her cousins, The Billington Bulldogs' debuts on social media.
6 Journey Fatu
While the fans are well-aware of Tonga Kid's son Jacob Fatu, who is currently working in Major League Wrestling, his brother Journey Fatu's name hasn't been around the dirt sheets a lot.
He made his debut in 2016 and started teaming up with his brother Jacob as The Samoan Swat Team. He wrestled mostly for the Supreme Pro Wrestling promotion during his early years before venturing out into the independent circuit.
He also held the SPW Tag Team Championship with Jacob Fatu between April and June 2017 and is continuing to make appearances in the indies hoping to break out into the big leagues in the future.
5 David Finlay
David Finlay is the son of current WWE producer and former United States Champion Fit Finlay, who worked for the company in backstage roles and as an in-ring performer between 2001 and 2011.
David made his pro wrestling debut in December 2012 and went on to perform in the UK and US independent circuits before signing with New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2015. He's also performed for Impact Wrestling, Ring of Honor, CMLL, and All Elite Wrestling over the years and is a former Impact and IWGP Tag Team Champion alongside Juice Robinson.
4 Cody Hall
Son of the late legendary Hall of Famer Scott Hall, Cody Hall, chose to pursue a career in pro wrestling and started training with his father in 2010.
After completing his training, Hall made his official in-ring debut in July 2012 at an independent wrestling event. From there, he went on to perform in the US independent circuit and sharpened his skills before he got an opportunity with New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2015.
He became part of the infamous Bullet Club faction during his time in NJPW but left the company in January 2017 after getting sidelined with an injury. After that, he made his debut for Pro Wrestling Noah, where he competed between 2017 and 2019. Following a short stint in DDT Pro Wrestling and a brief setback in 2020, Hall returned to the independent circuit in May 2022.
3 Aurora Rose Levesque
It appears the next member of the McMahon Levesque family is all set to venture into the pro wrestling business after Triple H revealed that his daughter Aurora Rose Levesque has started training to become a pro wrestler.
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have three daughters together, out of which Aurora Rose is the eldest and is around 16 years old as of this date. She reportedly started training when she was only 13, and that means she could've already learned the basics of the sport by now and could follow in her family's footsteps by breaking out as a pro wrestler when the time is right.
2 Simone Johnson
The Rock is one of the most successful wrestlers to come from the iconic Anoa'i family and was one of the faces of WWE throughout his time with the company. He left an everlasting legacy when he stepped away from active in-ring competition to pursue a career in Hollywood, but now his daughter Simone Johnson is ready to take up that legacy.
Simone Johnson started training at the WWE Performance Center in 2020, signed a developmental contract with the company in May 2020, and announced that her in-ring name would be Ava Raine earlier this year.
1 Terrell & Terrence Hughes
WWE legend and Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley's eldest sons, Terrell and Terrence Hughes, are next on the list. They chose to follow in their father's footsteps and made their first appearances for Impact Wrestling by accompanying his father in a storyline against D'Angelo Dinero.
They trained under their father and made their official in-ring debuts in January 2015, and started going under the team name TNT. They competed for various independent promotions before trying out for WWE in 2018, where they also made an appearance as security guards on an episode of SmackDown.
They made their debuts for AEW in November 2020 and are continuing to perform in AEW Dark and Dark Elevation while still making appearances in the indies.
