We can only imagine how happy Tamina might have been when she face timed Simone. It wasn’t an easy road to the top for her. Despite being the daughter of a WWE Hall of Famer, Tamina never had it easy in the WWE.
This time, she snatched the opportunity and made sure she capitalizes big time. Guess what? She did!
The innocence in the new Champion also shows in the exclusive video uploaded by WWE. She literally asks how to hold the title as she has never had the experience to hold one before. Imagine. Over a decade in the company, and now is the time she finally holds gold. Our hearts go out to the new Champ and wish she and Natalya have a long and fun title-reign.
