Tatanka’s sons are training at the WWE Performance Center.
Across WWE’s history, fans have seen a multitude of wrestlers look to follow on from the in-ring careers of their parents. Whether it’s Charlotte Flair, Dominik Mysterio, Cody Rhodes or another second-generation star, it’s fair to say there’s been a number of success stories when it comes to passing on the wrestling bug. Now, it appears as if Tatanka’s sons could be next to become second-generation wrestlers.
In a new interview with Bill Apter of Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Tanaka recalled Triple H getting his sons to visit the WWE Performance Center.
“About three months ago, I went to Saturday Night’s Main Event. Triple H sees both of our boys… I was making an appearance there by ringside. They had the legends making an appearance. So, we were there early when they were doing TV, of course, and Triple H sees both of my boys. He says, ‘They gotta get in the Performance Center. Now!’ He sends a message. Triple H didn’t walk further than about five feet away, my phone started blowing up. All the executives at WWE already setting an appointment for them to go to the Performance Center. They went to the Performance Center, everyone loved them. Matt Bloom, which is head of the WWE Performance Center, fell in love with them, called them two studs. Shawn Michaels was there, Undertaker was there. So we came out of that, they had already recommended where they wanted us to go, which I’m so honored to be there. They’re actually training at The Dungeon — Nattie Neidhart and TJ Wilson.”

Tatanka had two stints with the WWF/ WWE during his career. However, despite challenging for the Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania IX, the star was never able to capture a championship during his time with the company. With his sons now training to become wrestlers, it remains to be seen as to what the future holds in terms of continuing his legacy.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on Tatanka’s sons beginning wrestling training as soon as we hear more.
