One former in-ring WWE regular remains on the company payroll despite not being seen for over two years.WWE veteran Tamina, a hugely respected figure, hasn’t wrestled since early 2023, wasn’t included in the 2024 Draft.Tamina is rarely used on screen despite having a stellar in-ring careerWWEShe quietly stopped appearing at television tapings months ago and will be a virtual unknown to many of the fans who’ve jumped aboard the WWE bandwagon since its Netflix launch earlier in 2025.A second-generation star and daughter of Hall of Famer Jimmy Snuka, Tamina debuted in 2010 and went on to become one of WWE’s longest-serving female performers.Fierce, reliable, and protective of the women around her, she was never about main event glory, but became something arguably more valuable: a respected constant through every era of the division’s evolution.Her in-ring output speaks to that longevity. According to Cagematch, Tamina worked 103 matches in 2017 alone.Even as her on-screen appearances slowed in later years, she still racked up 46 bouts in 2021, and 36 in 2022. Her final three matches came in early 2023, and she hasn’t been seen in action since.That didn’t stop the admiration from her peers — particularly those who looked up to her as a mentor. Speaking to Fightful, Nia Jax described Tamina as “a pillar, a rock to so many of us,” adding: “We call her Mama Bear… She doesn’t get the flowers she deserves… She’s kept me up when I needed to stay up, positive when I was trying to be negative, hydrated when I was hungover.”“She’s my sister,” Jax added. “I’ll always be grateful for her.”Tamina’s last televised match came on Main Event in February 2023 — a multi-woman tag where her role was understated, but unmistakably supportive. In the months that followed, she appeared occasionally at tapings, but by mid-2024, even those visits had tapered off.A recent report from Fightful Select noted that Tamina “is still technically under contract with the company.” She’s not listed on internal rosters, not assigned to a brand, and is “not often backstage at WWE events.”A prior update from the noted US outlet in the summer of 2024 confirmed she “has not been at television in months” and wasn’t part of the 2024 Draft pool — despite having been drafted to SmackDown the previous year. Even then, “we were told there were never plans for her since.”The second-generation star is a hugely respected WWE figureWWEStill, there’s been no announcement of a release at a time when high-profile and long-serving stars have been shown the door.WWE’s public roster pages no longer feature her name, but behind the curtain, she may well remain part of the fold in some capacity — perhaps quietly helping the next generation, just as she always has.Across a near-15-year tenure, Tamina’s presence helped steady a division that saw enormous change.From the height of the ‘Divas’ era to the Women’s Revolution and beyond, she played enforcer, tag partner, and locker room glue — often all at once.She held the Women’s Tag Team Championship with Natalya in 2021 and picked up a few comedic reigns with the 24/7 Title — though the belt arguably gained more from her than she did from it.She is tied firmly to the industry, not only by the legacy of her father, but also by The Rock – Dwayne Johnson considering Tamina a ‘cousin’ despite them not sharing blood.Tamina’s father was the late ‘Superfly’ Jimmy SnukaWWEThe Rock considers Tamina, a fellow WWE legend, familyWWEJimmy Snuka, came into Rock’s legendary Anoa’i Family Tree when he married his second wife, Sharon Georgi. Her father was a Samoan Chief that was also blood brothers with Reverend Amituana’i Anoa’i.Rock’s Grandfather, Peter Maivia, was blood brothers with Reverend Amituana’i Anoa’i and the two Samoan families – Anoa’i and Maivia – have considered themselves family ever since.After such a long time away from active action, could a comeback be on the cards?If Tamina is ever likely to secure a wrestling swansong, it might be at this weekend’s Evolution 2 — the high-profile WWE event showcasing the best of the women’s division from Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and returning legends.She’d be well at home there but, sometimes, the most important voices in WWE aren’t the loudest ones on-screen.Tamina might not have wrestled in over two years — but her influence, presence, and quiet leadership still echo backstage.For a woman who never sought the spotlight, it’s a legacy that speaks volumes.
