15 Wrestlers’ Daughters Following In Their Parents’ Footsteps
6. Tamina Snuka (Jimmy Superfly Snuka)
When it was mentioned earlier about second-generation female wrestlers in WWE, Tamina Snuka is the first one that sprung to many peoples 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 Superfly Snuka. Tamina has been on the WWE roster for more than four years and sadly has failed to gain much traction as a performer. Shes 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 Lees bodyguard. Shes 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 shell 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.
