* TheDragon: Seems to be filling this role for Wrestling/AJLee of late.

** Since becoming AJ Lee's bodyguard she has adopted a new look that is similar to Kevin Nash's as a nod to his run as Shawn Michaels' bodyguard Diesel.

* WrestlingFamily: Part of the Anoa'i wrestling family. Her father is Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka; her brother James wrestled as "Deuce" and "Sim Snuka"; her uncles are the original {{Wild Samoan}}s and Wrestling/{{Rikishi}}; by extension, this means she is cousins with Wrestling/TheUsos (twin sons of Rikishi, whom Tamina managed in her early career) and Wrestling/RomanReigns (son of Sika, one of the Wild Samoans). This makes Naomi, who married Jimmy Uso in 2014, Tamina's cousin by marriage. She's also considered as a cousin to The Rock, despite there not being an official blood connection; they view each other as family anyway. And this isn't even a comprehensive list of the people that have ever signed contracts with WWE. The Anoa'i family is ''massive.''

Her father is Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka; her brother James wrestled as "Deuce" and "Sim Snuka"; her uncles are the original {{Wild Samoan}}s and Wrestling/{{Rikishi}}; and her cousins wrestle as the Usos, whom she once managed. She's also considered as a cousin to The Rock, despite there not being an official blood connection; they view each other as family anyway.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Was already 32 when she debuted on WWE TV.

* AbortedArc: Both her onscreen romances got dropped. Santino was dropped when she was moved to ''Smackdown'' and reappeared as a heel. She had another with JTG on ''NXT Redemption'' that also got dropped.

* BeautyIsBad: Because she's not in the same appearance as most of the divas and not conventionally sexy she's often lumped with the wrestlers despite being visibly inexperienced in the ring. Kelly Kelly, Eve and the Bellas all have more experience than her. However, unlike them, she actually went to a wrestling school, specifically, the one run by the Wild Samoans, before coming to WWE. In fact, she even won a scholarship to it.
** DoubleStandard: Experience and ability are apparently irrelevant in this debate.

* BridalCarry: Has done this to AJ a few times.

* SheCleansUpNicely: Particularly in her fling with Santino. She appeared sometimes with straightened hair and in dresses, surprising everyone.

* BrawnHilda: Actually a subversion. Despite not being presented as one of the {{Fanservice}} Divas, commentators have never taken this route with her - and she's even had a couple of on-screen romances. It probably helps that she knows she can look damn fine whenever [[SheCleansUpNicely she wants to]].

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: And without any solid reason as to why either.
** She's more suited to playing a face ringwise and plays it well. But being built the way she is makes it easier to book her as a powerhouse heel, especially after Wrestling/BethPhoenix left the company.

* PowerStable:
** Polynesian Power Package with Donny Marlow, Jimmy Uso, Jules Uso, and Wrestling/BrodusClay after getting signed to WWE's FCW.
** [[FunWithAcronyms Beautiful And Dangerous]] with Wrestling/SashaBanks and Wrestling/{{Naomi}}.

* PowerStable: Polynesian Power Package with Donny Marlow, Jimmy Uso, Jules Uso and Wrestling/BrodusClay after getting signed to WWE's FCW.

** Currently with her cousin-in-law Wrestling/{{Naomi}}.

** On the other hand, considering [[Quotes/JimmySnuka the kind of promos her father used to cut]], this might be a good thing.
*** But then, given how WWE tightly scripts promos, that whole promo style is clearly a relic, even if that kind of bizarre, rambling promo ''would'' be a refreshing change of pace in limited doses and if done by the right person.
* LegacyCharacter: Of her father, she even uses the same {{Finishing Move}}s, the Superfly Kick and the Superfly Splash.

** TheQuietOne: She hasn't had much to say since her feud with the Hart Dynasty ended and she broke away from the Usos. She does have plenty to say if Jimmy or Jey do initiate conversation but was pretty quite otherwise, content to let JTG, Santino and AJ ham it up.

* DarkActionGirl

* TheDreaded: Initially portrayed as something scary alongside the Usos, until they jobbed to Randy Orton and proved themselves beatable. Then she started to become so again after breaking up with Santino, divas champion Kaitlyn admitted to dreading her defense against Tamina without shame.

* BastardGirlfriend: Though JTG doesn't seem to mind

** TheQuietOne: She hasn't had much to say since her feud with the Hart Dynasty ended and she broke away from the Usos. She does have plenty to say if Jimmy or Jey do initiate conversation though.

** TheQuietOne

* HardHead: Established when she no sold a meeting of the minds with Beth Phoenix.

* YoureNotMyFather: Her attitude toward the Usos after they drifted apart
