WrestleMania is more than a week away and one of my favourite parts about WrestleMania season is the annual WWE Hall Of Fame Ceremony. I love seeing the excitement around when an inductee gets announced and how pumped everyone gets celebrating their careers. This year, WWE will induct the class of 2020 and 2021 together on April 6.  I have so many wonderful friends who are soon to be Hall Of Famers like Kane, The Great Khali and Molly Holly. Two of my closest friends, The Bella Twins, are also being honoured in the class of 2020 WWE Hall of Fame and their induction is so special to me personally and also important to the WWE Women’s Evolution.

The Bella Twins and I started in WWE the same week. I remember first meeting Brie and Nikki and thinking to myself, “these girls are pretty, smart and have really bright personalities, but let’s see what they can do. Will they be able to get the in-ring part down?” Having grown up around WWE my entire life, I was always a little skeptical of newcomers into the industry. Right out of the gate, they both proved to me and everyone else that they wanted to work hard and never stopped doing so. True to form, they were fearless, as they’d show up early, stay late and threw themselves into learning everything they could possibly learn about competing in the ring and being WWE Superstars. Their drive was inspiring to me and Brie and Nikki both had an incredible business sense about them. Very early on in their WWE careers, they both had a vision to create more visibility for women in the ring.

Before we had the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, we trained at FCW in Tampa, Fla. At the start of our training together, there was no air conditioning, just a few rings in a run-down warehouse with some canned goods stacked on the floors that were used as makeshift chairs to sit on. That said, we loved it! All we needed was each other, the ring and our passion. We leaned on each other to help hone our skills in and out of the ring! The costumes, my presentation, speaking, storylines … the Bella Twins helped me with so much when they didn’t have to. I’ll never forget how much they did for me, as we had so much fun learning the ropes of WWE together.

Bianca Belair hit a dropkick to Natalya, Natalya hits a few of her signature moves before Bianca avoids a dropkick, Natalya tries to take advantage of a distracted Bianca by Sasha but it backfires. Bianca goes off the top rope to the apron to regroup. Tamina takes advantage and drops Bianca with a superkick, knocking her off the apron to the floor, while the referee deals with Natalya, Sasha walks down the ramp and taunts Bianca while she’s down.

Natalya controlled the match after the commercial break, Natalya had Bianca in surfboard submission.

The Road to WrestleMania is what dreams are made of. WrestleMania is special for so many reasons. For me, it’s extra special because after a year of competing without fans, we are finally getting to have our WWE Universe back with us. In honour of Women’s History Month and the Road to WrestleMania, I wanted to share what I’m most excited about and that is my partnership with Tamina. Of all the women in our division, there’s no woman who I would rather have my back than her. Both of us have bloodlines in this industry that run deep through many generations. The Samoan and Hart dynasties are so special amongst WWE fans, going back to the prestigious names such as The Wild Samoans,  Hart Foundation, British Bulldogs, Usos, The Rock, Bret Hart, Umaga, Owen Hart, The Headshrinkers, Yokozuna, The Dynamite Kid, Rikishi and Roman Reigns to name a few!

I wanted to highlight Tamina because amongst so many incredible people in her family, she stands tall, caring a torch for her family today. Our bloodlines connect us as we represent our families and women in sports. I asked Tamina why her Fijian/Samoan heritage is so important to her. She said: “My cultural heritage is everything to me. It’s my foundation. Growing up I was taught the importance of honouring our ancestors and carrying their legacy forward. My heritage is rich in ceremonial dance, song, rituals, and an unrivaled warrior culture. I take great pride in my people. It’s not only my pleasure to represent my ancestry at such a high level in WWE, but it’s my duty, a duty I take very seriously. When it’s time I will pass the same symbolic torch to my daughters that my family passed to me and they will carry on and do the same.”

Recently, Tamina unveiled a piece of her heritage with a tribal tattoo honouring her ancestors. Tamina said the tattoo represents so much to her. “When I was eight years old living in Hawaii, I saw the traditional tattooing being done and was amazed at how it was done. The spirit of our people came together singing songs and giving the strength to whoever was being tattooed. You feel the beauty and love of our culture. I wanted to experience the same thing. I wanted to represent both my Fijian and Samoan culture and the love for my kids and family. My dad who was born in Suva, Fiji and my mom who was born in Samoa have always taught me my culture and to be proud of where we came from. My bloodline, my legacy. They taught me to always remember our ancestors and the sacrifices they went through to help get me here today.”
