5 Wrestlers and their WWE audition tapes

#2 Nina Samuels

For those who are unfamiliar with Nina Samuels, she has been one of the most prominent female Superstars on NXT UK since the brand was introduced.

One of the highlights of her WWE career so far came when she challenged Toni Storm for the NXT UK Women’s Championship in April 2019, while she teamed with Bianca Belair and Lacey Evans in a defeat against Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai and Tegan Nox at Download Festival in June 2018.

Several years earlier, the Brit sent in a 59-second audition tape to be on the 2015 edition of Tough Enough.

The full video, which can be seen above via her YouTube channel, began with Samuels revealing that she gave up dancing and singing to pursue her wrestling dream. She then explained that she had been a ‘Rosebud’ in the past but wanted to go a step further by becoming a WWE Diva.

“With every match, with every training session, I learn, improve and I strive to be better, because the work never, ever stops until I make it to the top, and that is where I am determined to go.”

Samuels picked up victories over Isla Dawn and Dani Luna on NXT UK during the summer of 2019 before losing against Xia Brookside in her latest televised match.
