WWE NXT GM Ava Reveals Relationship With LFG Star Tatyanna Dumas

WWE NXT General Manager Ava has officially confirmed her relationship with “WWE LFG” standout Tatyanna Dumas, sharing an Instagram Story that immediately sparked fan buzz across wrestling circles. The post marked the first time Ava publicly acknowledged the pairing, after months of online speculation.

Dumas, known from NXT and the reality-competition series WWE LFG, has grown into one of the show’s most talked-about prospects. The Australian athlete gained early attention from her run on Australian Ninja Warrior before entering WWE’s developmental system. Since then, she has competed in NXT live events and LFG matches against Carlee Bright, Karmen Petrovic, and other rising stars.

Although the relationship became “Instagram official” this week, Ava and Dumas had appeared together several times earlier in the year. They were featured in promotional content for the Louder Than Life festival and later attended the U.K. premiere of The Smashing Machine alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, further fueling interest in their connection.

Ava, whose real name is Simone Johnson, joined WWE in 2020 and made her on-screen debut in 2022 before transitioning into her current role as NXT’s General Manager. Dumas continues to expand her visibility through LFG and NXT appearances, positioning the pair as one of WWE’s most prominent real-life couples as both careers move deeper into the spotlight.
