In a recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Nia Jax shed light on Tamina’s pivotal behind-the-scenes role in WWE. Tamina, who joined WWE in 2010, has maintained a consistent presence within the company while building a reputation as a respected figure among her peers.
During the interview, Jax revealed the profound impact Tamina has had on fellow performers, particularly highlighting her nurturing presence in the locker room.
She doesn’t get the flowers she deserves but that woman backstage is a pillar, a rock to so many of us, and we call her mama bear because she is a true mama bear. She’s kept me up when I needed to stay up, positive when I was trying to be negative, hydrated when I was hung over. I call her my sister because she’s truly a sister … even when I wasn’t in the company for a little bit, she was there for me when nobody else was.
Over her tenure, Tamina captured the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship with Natalya on the May 14th, 2021 edition of SmackDown, defeating Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax.
