Former WWE Smackdown Women’s Champion Naomi, also known as Trinity Fatu, is reportedly on her way back to WWE. In May 2022, Naomi, alongside Sasha Banks, departed from the promotion, expressing dissatisfaction with Vince McMahon’s booking choices. Subsequently, Naomi found her footing in TNA Wrestling while Banks transitioned to NJPW. Presently, speculations are circulating about Banks potentially making a move to AEW.
According to Fightful Select’s paywall, sources within TNA Wrestling are indicating that Trinity Fatu, formerly known as Naomi, is on the verge of becoming a free agent. This has led to widespread speculation about a potential reunion with WWE.
The reports also suggest that she might wrap up her time with TNA soon, though details about a specific timeline, such as a potential appearance at the TNA Hard to Kill pay-per-view, remain uncertain.
WWE sources had expressed confidence in re-signing Naomi back in January 2023, but an unofficial hiring freeze temporarily halted negotiations. Despite this setback, speculation has been rife that Naomi’s return to WWE is imminent, with both WWE and IMPACT Wrestling sources expecting it “sooner than later.”
It will be interesting to see whether Naomi makes an appearance at the TNA Hard to Kill pay-per-view, set to take place on Saturday, January 13, 2024, especially considering the possibility of her concluding her time with the promotion soon.
Potential return date for former WWE Superstar Naomi
There are reports of several former WWE Superstars returning to the promotion, including names like Andrade and now Naomi. With Triple H in charge, coupled with the return of CM Punk to the promotion, anything is possible in the world of WWE.
If Naomi decides to make a comeback in WWE rather than renewing her contract with TNA, the perfect opportunity for her return could be at this month’s Royal Rumble. Winning the Royal Rumble would position her for a potential clash with Rhea Ripley, a member of The Judgement Day and the reigning WWE Women’s World Heavyweight Champion, who has been on an impressive winning streak.
A showdown between Ripley and Naomi at the WrestleMania 40 would undoubtedly generate excitement among the fans.
