Tamina makes her WWE Debut

On an episode of Monday Night Raw back in May of 2010, Tamina made her WWE debut alongside The Usos. Tamina, alongside Jimmy and Jey, took out The Hart Dynasty and made their presence felt on their first night.

“I remember going through gorilla, and being told we were going to debut that night. We all just thought to ourselves that our moment was finally here. This has been a long journey for all of us, and now we were here and out to walk out the curtain on national television.”

“We laugh about it now with Natty, TJ, and Harry, because it’s funny. But, I remember just thinking now we hate everyone and we’re about to come out and show the entire world what we are about.”

“When we walked through that curtain and ran down to the ring, that was easily the best debut for me. It was the best way I could have ever debuted. I loved it, and even today I can still feel that same push and adrenaline that I felt on the first night. We wanted to go show what we were about. I can replay that back over and over again. I was amazing and with the greatest people ever.”

Winning the Women’s Tag Team Championships with Natalya

From opponents to partners, Tamina and Natalya got to accomplish a lot together. In May of 2021, Natalya and Tamina won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. They would go on to hold them until September of 2021 when they would dropp those championships to Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H.

“She’s the first one I got to slap in my debut on television. Years later, I get a tag title with Natalya. This is why the journey began with her. I was able to get that title with her and that was such an epic moment for me.”

“We got to wrestle both nights at WrestleMania, and that’s something that was way different and that you didn’t see a lot. It’s been a long journey, but I love that girl.”

With WrestleMania 39 right around the corner, Tamina was asked about goals she may have for herself ahead of the biggest time of the year in professional wrestling and sports entertainment.

“I always feel like everyone is always reaching for goals. You’re always figuring out new things and the next step, and the next person you want to go after. It’s always there. You never stop thinking or making those goals. If it’s not at Mania, it could be after Mania. You never know.”

Tamina on WWE Rivals: John Cena vs. The Rock

On Sunday night, March 5, WWE on A&E will continue with WWE Biography covering Chyna, followed by a special episode of WWE Rivals which takes a look at the incredible, and generational rivalry between John Cena and The Rock.

“I’m grateful to have been able to see that stuff live,” Tamina said when asked about witnessing this generational rivalry live. “I, too, am a huge fan. Before Cena and Rock go out to do whatever it is they’re about to do, I got to hear their entrance music from the back. You can’t help but feel electrified listening to that.”

“The Rock’s music hits, he goes out, and the crowd loses their mind. Now does that happen every night or every show? Not always. However, when it did, you already knew the magic that was about to happen. When those two entered the arena, you knew the roof was going to be blown off.”

“When you look at the promos, that’s the whole other part of the equation. That’s charisma, on top of charisma. They’re coming from a place that’s real. They’re battling and that’s what you would see in the ring when they finally wrestled.”

“That’s what made it such a great rivalry. You’re going against each other, battling from a place of passion, that is special. It’s telling that magical story. Looking at it from a fan’s point of view, and being a superstar who lived through it, I learned so much.”

“A lot of people can talk, but John Cena and The Rock did it. I have so much respect for them both. Cena was a locker room mentor to me and countless others. Dwayne was there and a mentor in a different way, but he wasn’t there all the time like Cena was. I give props to these men who went out there and paved the way for all of us.”
