Tamina also talked about how, despite the enormous pressure on Ava that comes with being the offspring of a WWE legend, the 21-year-old wrestler hasn’t let it affect her.
The former WWE women’s tag team champion also praised her other family members … WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Jimmy and Jey Uso, and Solo Sikoa for the dominant run they’ve enjoyed over the last few years.
“Everybody wants to be part of the bloodline,” Tamina said.
