WWE Superstar Naomi Announces Pregnancy, Vacates Women’s Championship
In a heartfelt and emotional moment on Monday Night Raw, WWE superstar Naomi revealed that she is expecting her first child and has decided to relinquish the Women’s World Championship. The announcement came as a surprise to fans, who had seen Naomi dominate the women’s division in recent months.
Naomi originally captured the Women’s World Championship at the Evolution pay-per-view, successfully cashing in her Money in the Bank contract during a high-profile match between Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley. Her championship reign continued at SummerSlam, where she defended the title in a thrilling triple-threat match against Sky and Ripley, proving her dominance in WWE’s women’s division.
Speculation about Naomi’s status began last week when WWE announced she was not medically cleared to compete in an upcoming title defense against Iyo Sky. While fans initially wondered if Naomi had sustained an injury, the true reason became clear during Monday’s episode of Raw. Appearing alongside her husband, Jimmy Uso, Naomi took to the stage during the “What’s Your Story? With Stephanie McMahon” segment to share the joyous news.
“I’m pregnant and I’m having a baby,” Naomi announced to a cheering WWE Universe, visibly moved by the support of the crowd. Her excitement was mirrored by Jimmy Uso, who celebrated alongside her, sharing the couple’s personal milestone.
Though Naomi was overjoyed, she expressed a mix of emotions about having to give up the championship she worked so hard to win. During her segment with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce, Naomi displayed her trademark humor and attitude. “I ain’t handing you s—,” she exclaimed, adding that her excitement and emotions were running high. Nevertheless, recognizing the importance of her personal news, Naomi ultimately laid the Women’s World Championship in the center of the ring, officially vacating the title.
Naomi also took a moment to acknowledge the women of the WWE locker room, giving credit to her husband Jimmy Uso for his support throughout her championship run. “Without him, they wouldn’t have stood a chance of taking the title off me,” she joked, eliciting laughter from the audience. True to her spirited personality, she ended the segment with a nod to her family legacy, laughing maniacally and saying, “On the bright side, I guess the bloodline continues, baby!”
Looking ahead, Naomi made it clear that her departure from in-ring competition would be temporary. She promised fans that she plans to return to WWE in roughly nine months. “Even if I gotta come back breastfeeding with my baby in my arms, I’m coming back to pick up where I left off,” she said, reaffirming her determination to reclaim the championship in the future.
Naomi’s announcement highlights the balance between personal milestones and professional accomplishments in WWE. Her storyline departure from the championship scene underscores the reality that even top-tier athletes must sometimes step away for life-changing events. WWE fans can expect Naomi to remain a central figure in the women’s division upon her return, and her championship legacy will continue to inspire both her colleagues and the audience.
As Naomi begins this new chapter in her life, the WWE Universe has embraced her joyous news, celebrating not just her accomplishments in the ring, but also the exciting journey that lies ahead for her and her family. Her return promises to be one of the most anticipated comebacks in recent memory, blending personal triumph with professional ambition.
