The daughter of WWE legend The Rock is taking a stand against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Trump administration.
Wrestler Ava Raine sent the middle finger to the controversial law enforcement agency and president Donald Trump's administration in a tweet published Sunday, just two days after announcing her resignation from the WWE.
It appears her departure from the organization only emboldened her to make the statement.
'and now that i can say this with my full chest, (middle finger emoji) ice and that entire administration,' she tweeted.
Raine joined the organization her father is also a member of in 2020 and called her decision to not renew her contract 'very difficult.'
'This past Tuesday was my last appearance on NXT & subsequently WWE. Thank you to all who have cheered, watched, and supported me through my journey,' she said in a statement posted to her Instagram on Friday.

In recent weeks, numerous stars including Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish have used their platforms to decry border patrol agents after violent raids in Minnesota saw two residents shot dead.
On Friday, people across the country participated in a 'national shutdown' by refusing to make purchases or go to work to send a message to the Trump administration.
The demonstrators were part of a nationwide ICE Out initiative to oppose federal immigration raids.
Thousands of people took to the streets in Minneapolis, Minnesota for the second week in a row.
The city has been caught in the crosshairs of Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration.
ICE raids have escalated to deadly degrees last month, as two Minneapolis residents, nurse Alex Pretti and mother, Renee Good, were fatally shot by federal agents.
Raine is among many stars who have used their platform to shun ICE.
She was with the WWE for six years before stepping away

Raine also became the youngest General Manager of NXT in history at just 22 years old
The daughter of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and his ex-wife Dany Garcia, Raine followed her father's footsteps into wrestling after an injury sidelined her from attending New York University.
She took the injury as a sign to pursue her dreams of wrestling instead.
Ava was accepted into the WWE in 2020 and made her debut on stage two years later.
But after Schism - the faction Ava aligned herself with - lost a match in 2023 and began to fall apart, Ava made the career decision to switch from in the ring to behind the scenes.
Starting off as an assistant, she worked her way up and became the youngest General Manager of NXT in history at just 22 years old.
By 2024, she created the NXT Women's North American Championship, launching the first-ever secondary women's title in WWE.
