Tamina has Bayley in her sights

WWE superstars Bayley and Tamina were at loggerheads on Twitter and Tamina responded to a tweet and said that she would take down Bayley with a Hulk smash on Smackdown.

Bayley has been at the top of her game since an attitude change propelled her to the top of the blue brand.

Though the titleholder has overcome a bevvy of adversaries since capturing her championship, Tamina represents a unique obstacle.

Recently reasserting her presence on Friday nights with a vengeance, Tamina has used brute physicality to overwhelm all rivals.

After entering the SmackDown Women’s Title Fatal 5-Way Match at WrestleMania as arguably the odds-on favourite, it took all four of the other competitors pinning her at the same time to eliminate her.

That didn’t slow Tamina’s pursuit, though. Bayley threw one final hurdle in front of Tamina in the form of best friend Sasha Banks, but it backfired thanks to Lacey Evans.

Tamina looking for second title

Tamina made her return to WWE at the Hell in a Cell Pay Per View. She won her first title in the company. She pinned Carmella backstage and secured the 24/7 championship.

Shockingly, even though Tamina has wrestled since 2010, this was her first championship victory in WWE.

Tamina had been out of action since July 2019 when she got a concussion. Before that, she had begun teaming with Nia Jax and was a focal point of WWE programming for much of the beginning of 2019.

Tamina has had quite a string of injuries as of late. In 2018 she was out with a shoulder injury and has performed on and off since her debut with the Usos in the mid-2000s.

Tamina is still keen on winning the SmackDown title. She had her chance in the past, but it will be interesting to see how she does at Money in the Bank 2020.
