In the wake of WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka being arrested for murder, some questions surround how the WWE will handle future storylines with his daughter, Tamina.
Snuka was arrested Tuesday and charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter stemming from the death of Nancy Argentino at an Allentown, Pa., motel over 32 years ago. Snuka has pled his innocence since Argentino's death, but he was the only person of interest after she was found beaten with bruises all over her body and yellow fluid coming out of her nose in 1983.

The WWE had always touted how Tamina has a rich wrestling background due to being Snuka's daughter, but with the 1996 Hall of Fame inductee now facing a murder charge, things are likely to change. The company is unlikely to punish Tamina for her father's transgressions, but it is doubtful that the company will boast that she's his daughter while the case plays out.
Tamina hasn't commented on the arrest on social media, but she posted a tweet Wednesday for her daughter's 13th birthday. The Diva has been a vital part of the revolution going on in her division and she is a Team B.A.D. member along with new sensation Sasha Banks and Naomi.

The trio has been at odds with Team Bella (The Bella Twins and Alicia Fox) and Team PCB (Paige, Charlotte and Becky), but it will be interesting to see if the WWE decides to change its direction in light of this recent news. Though she's part of the Divas Revolution, Tamina may also take time off.
The WWE's PR direction has had a "no tolerance" policy in hopes to clean up the WWE's public image. Hulk Hogan was fired, scrubbed from WWE.com and unofficially removed from the Hall of Fame after his racism scandal broke last month. This week, NXT Diva Zahra Schreiber was released from the company after photos of her supporting the Nazis resurfaced on social media.
When it comes to a murder situation, it's likely that Snuka will be taken off of WWE.com altogether and possibly never mentioned again, much like Chris Benoit after his double murder-suicide in 2007.
It's unknown what the future holds for Tamina, but some swift changes could be coming for the WWE.
