Naomi and her current run on SmackDown
Back in January 2020, Naomi made her return to WWE after a long hiatus from the television.She then went on to chase the SmackDown Women's Championship and had a shot at winning the title when she faced Bayley for her title at Super ShowDown. Unfrtunately for her, Bayley retained her championship.
Following that, Naomi was engaged in a feud involving Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Lacey Evans. She was often seen aligning with Evans as the duo took on Banks and Bayley on SmackDown.
She then qualified for a Fatal 5-way Elimination Match for the SmackDown Women's Championship that was held at WrestleMania 36. However, Naomi was eliminated from that match by Sasha Banks via submission.
Following thatm we saw her suffering from a defeat at the hands of Dana Brooke as they battled for a spot in the Women's Money in the Bank 2020 match. After that, it appeared that Naomi has again taken some time off from in-ring action.
Her latest tweets confirm that lack of direction for her on the Blue brand might have been a reason behind this decision. But Naomi has now clarified that she is actively pursuing her return and we could soon see her on SmackDown.
