Naomi WWE exit

Since news about Sasha Banks’ WWE release made the headlines, fans are now wondering what the future holds for Naomi in wrestling. Naomi was one half of the Raw Women’s tag team Champion alongside Sasha Banks. The duo notoriously walked out during WWE taping after placing their tag titles on the desk of then-head of Creative John Laurinaitis. Sasha Banks was unhappy with how the WWE was booking her, Naomi’s reason for walking out was no different. 

Banks and Naomi captured their titles at WrestleMania 38 and two months later, they vacated the titles due to creative disagreements. After the incident, the former Tag Team Champions were away from the ring, however, were seen making public appearances.

The duo was spotted earlier at the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Premiere. Now that we know that Sasha Banks is not coming back to WWE, it begs the question, Will Naomi follow suit? 

Will Naomi return to WWE? 

Dave Meltzer from Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that Naomi is left with a decision to make after Sasha Banks’ official release. Sasha Banks is reportedly going to make an appearance at NJPW’s upcoming event, Wrestle Kingdom, in January.

Fans are now speculating if Naomi will follow in the footsteps of her former partner or return to WWE. According to reports, Naomi and Sasha Banks had made up their minds previously about returning to WWE, however, Banks’ change of mind may also affect Naomi’s plans. 

Naomi seemingly is left with three options. Either she could stay at home and choose not to wrestle, join another wrestling promotion, or return to WWE without her tag team partner and have a singles career. 

Naomi’s singles career in WWE was inspiring as the 35-year-old is a former two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion as well as the inaugural winner of WrestleMania 34’s Women’s Battle Royal. It has been reported that Naomi’s contract is likely to expire unless WWE decides to freeze it. 

Naomi’s fans speculate about her return and addition to the Bloodline

The Glow is Jimmy Uso’s wife, a member of the Bloodline led by the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. Despite being away from the ring for seven months, Naomi’s supporters are interminably supportive of her and are clamoring to see the former SmackDown Women’s Champion return to WWE.

Although we can’t rule out Naomi’s potential debut in another promotion, it is more likely that she would choose to return and work alongside her husband. Twitter exploded recently after the possibility of Naomi joining the Bloodline was brought up.
