Seini Draughn (b. 1982) is a Tongan Professional Wrestler currently signed to TNA as Lei'D Tapa. She debuted in 2011 in the Carolinas independent scene, winning the AIWF Women's Title along the way. She took part in TNA's GutCheck Challenge for a chance to get on the roster, which she won. TNA assigned her to the developmental program at OVW, where she would feud with the Blossom Twins, Taeler Hendrix and Lovely Lylah. She is the former OVW Women's Champion, having lost the title to The Bodyguy at the Saturday Night Special event mentioned under Berserk Button below.
"Lei'D Tropa":
Action Girl
American Football: She was a middle linebacker and tight end for the Carolina Queens of the International Women's Football League.
Arch-Enemy: (in OVW): The Blossoms, Taeler Hendrix, Trina; (in TNA): ODB.
Badass Family/Wrestling Family: She's The Barbarian's niece.
Berserk Button: For the past month in OVW, the Bodyguy has been making sexist comments about how women don't belong in wrestling. On the November 30, 2013 episode, Tapa responded and threatenedto destroy Bodyguy. Bodyguy's flunky "Mister Marvelous" Melvin Maximus came down to the ring with a big Teddy Bear, a box of candy, and a poem that actually Subverted Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue.note Tapa grabbed Melvin by the throat until Bodyguy came down to the ring to tell her to stop. This led to them setting up a match for Tapa's OVW Women's Title between Tapa and Bodyguy for the Saturday Night Special on December 7th.
Charles Atlas Superpower: The announcers for her OVW matches have often referenced how strong she is.
Finishing Move: Tongan Death Grip into a Samoan Drop
The Giant: Relatively. She's 5'11 and over 200 lbs.
Gimmick Matches: She took part in a four-way ladder match for the OVW Women's Title, which she lost.
She did beat Trina and ODB in a non-title three-way-match, though.
Heel: Initially. As the clip featured in Berserk Button above demonstrates, though, she seems to be getting the fans behind her in OVW.
The Dragon: At TNA Bound for Glory 2013, she helped Gail Kim retain the TNA Knockouts Title in her three-way-match against ODB and Brooke Tessmacher. She now appears to be fulfilling this role on a regular basis.
I Am Song: The opening lines of her OVW theme:
"I am Lei'D Tapa
The Queen of Rings"
It Runs in the Family
Leotard of Power
Red Baroness: "The Queen of Rings"
Screaming Warrior
Unnecessary Roughness: She got DQ'd for shoving the referee down while she was squashing Ray Lynn in OVW.
Wild Hair
Wild Tongan
Wrestling Monster: Described this way by OVW's announcers.

It's about as boring and bland as you can get. Also, of all people guys like 911 and The YETAY have pages.
