Backstage reason for Tamina getting a push by WWE - Reports
WWE is pushing Tamina after the fan reaction that she got at WrestleMania 37, last month, as per a recent report. Fans chanted the veteran superstar's name during The Show of Shows, which is why she is getting a push.
Tamina has been a part of WWE for over a decade, having debuted in the company way back in 2010. The daughter of the legendary Jimmy Snuka was part of the Divas era and later part of the women's "Revolution" in WWE. She has been a part of RAW, SmackDown, and NXT, as well as WWE's then developmental territory, FCW.
As per Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE decided to push her following fan reaction at WrestleMania 37. The crowd getting behind her resulted in WWE putting the Women's Tag Team Titles on her and Natalya.
“Tamina’s push came because the fans started chanting her name at WrestleMania, the one night, or the two nights that you actually have fans, and they (WWE) went with it. That was one of the stories at WrestleMania, was, cult reason or whatever, irony or whatever, the crowd got behind her and the decision was made (to push her)." (H/T WrestleTalk)
