Naomi shows off stunning new look ahead of WWE SmackDown
WWE Superstar Naomi showed off a stunning new look ahead of tonight's episode of SmackDown. The veteran returned to the company during the Women's Royal Rumble Match earlier this year.
Naomi also competed in the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match earlier this month but Tiffany Stratton emerged victorious. She has not competed in a televised match since her victory over Blair Davenport on the July 12 edition of SmackDown. Ahead of tonight's episode of the blue brand, the 36-year-old took to her Instagram to show off an incredible new look.

Dutch Mantell reacts to Naomi's match against Blair Davenport on WWE SmackDown
Former WWE manager, Dutch Mantell has commented on the singles match between Blair Davenport and Naomi earlier this month.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk show, the veteran claimed Davenport looked hesitant during the match. Mantell added that he was surprised the newly promoted superstar came up short and added that Naomi carried most of the action.
"She looked very, very green and hesitant. And I think Naomi carried her most of the match, and I think most of the people who've watched wrestling for a while think there is something just a little bit off about the Davenport girl. And she lost, which actually surprised me. I thought this would be a time to maybe put her over, but I can see why they did it. You're not going to kill putting anybody over anybody. The thing in the back was so telegraphed it didn't really work," said Mantell. [39:40 -40:24]

Naomi is married to former Bloodline member Jimmy Uso in real life. It will be fascinating to see what the company has planned for the former champion moving forward on SmackDown.
