Natalya shares emotional story with absent WWE Superstar who hasn't wrestled in over a year

WWE Superstar Natalya reminisced about the old days on social media. She shared an emotional story on Instagram with her former tag team partner, Tamina, who has been absent from the company for over a year now. Her last match took place at the 2023 Royal Rumble.

Nattie and Tamina have several singles as well as tag team accolades to their name. The duo defeated the team of Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler to win the Women's Tag Team Title on the May 14, 2021, episode of SmackDown. Notably, Tamina was previously the tag team partner of Jax but chose to side with Nattie later on.

Taking a look back at their achievement, Natalya shared a story on her Instagram featuring an old image of them when they became the Women’s Tag Team Champions.

They couldn’t keep their titles for long and lost them to Rhea Ripley and Nikki Cross on the September 20 episode of RAW. Moreover, their tag team also got separated via the Draft when Tamina was drafted to the red brand while Natalya remained on SmackDown.
