15 Wrestlers’ Daughters Following In Their Parents’ Footsteps

6. Tamina Snuka (Jimmy €œSuperfly€ Snuka)

When it was mentioned earlier about second-generation female wrestlers in WWE, Tamina Snuka is the first one that sprung to many people€™s minds. Of all the WWE Divas, Tamina is one of the few to have a last name, and the announcers rarely miss an opportunity to note that Tamina is the daughter of legendary Hall of Famer Jimmy €œSuperfly€ Snuka. Tamina has been on the WWE roster for more than four years and sadly has failed to gain much traction as a performer. She€™s spent time as a valet for the Usos, filled the Beth Phoenix role with Santino Marella, wrestled barefoot as a tribute to her father and most recently served as AJ Lee€™s bodyguard. She€™s turned from face to heel multiple times, often without fanfare, and she has never held the Divas Championship. At 36 and currently on the shelf, time is probably running out for Tamina, but hopefully she€™ll have one more good run in her. Perhaps WWE would be wise to pair her with some other second-generation women to see if a female version of Legacy could help.
