Yeah, turns out people really didn't like the Kareoke contest last week leading to her losing a match because Lacey Evans tied her braids to the side of the ring. Also, might be related to AJ Gray calling out AEW for a lack of black wrestlers on the roster and having old offensive tweets weaponized to discredit his conversation.

She does, so what do WWE need to do here? Do they drop this long-running Bayley/Banks thing and rocket-push Naomi to a title run?

I'm pretty mixed on Naomi. She isn't really at all a favorite, but there's not really anything actually wrong with her. And it's not like the divisions couldn't use more people being treated like they matter given Raw's basically limited to Asuka and her opponent of the month while SmackDown is the Sasha and Bayley show... and presently those two things have intersected.

I’ve always felt Naomi is terrible. From the glow demon, to her awful offense choices, I’ve just never at all gotten into her at all. Maybe she was good by old standards (Sup ladies NXT season) but there are so many that are better at everything than her now. 🤷♂️

I gotta be honest... I don’t fully agree. She’s good, but I’m not going to say she’s head and shoulders above your Laceys and Danas like Twitter is saying. Like she’d be a great midcard champion if the Women’s Division had one.
I’d use her on TV more than they have, and not in Karaoke. I do agree with that.
EDIT: Also I saw a tweet talking about how she’s reinvented herself more than anyone else, and I don’t agree with that either. Her character now is the same character she did in NXT season 3. She changes her look a lot, but she hasn’t really shown a lot of depth or acting skills. She hasn’t had a ton of opportunity there, but even in the times she did, she was consistently the same.

To me she's attractive as all hell but not really an interesting character or the greatest wrestler. Saying that though she's not bad but many more are better then her to be honest.

She got her hair tied to something?
Time to change up her look again. May I suggest the "Grace Jones?" 😊

I think Lacey's more entertaining, Twitter just nasty.

I think that it’s the fact that she changes up her look so often that got this part of social media behind her, that she’s some kind of fashion icon that might transcend wrestling if only WWE actually pushed her. Like, I keep reading about how she “went viral” for her return at the Rumble, and I can only think it’s because of her look.

Yeah she definitely had a moment on Twitter with her Rumble return, and I can see why the stan culture is behind her and what it would mean for her to be more heavily featured. That’s why I wouldn’t be against her getting more opportunities with the upper tier women’s wrestlers. I just think the stan fanbase has a warped idea of how good she actually is.

I'd like to see Naomi get a real chance with a character. Dancing and what not makes for a fun entrance, but where everyone else in the division keeps evolving, she is just the same.
All the 4 Horsewomen evolved into new variations over the last 4 years. So has Auska.
Personally, i think the women's division is by far the most competitive in the WWE and she has to keep up

TBH, most of the division deserves better, not just Naomi.

I think the best thing Naomi's done is that one surprisingly great match she had with Paige where they inexplicably just stiffed the f*** out of each other.

A lot of the woman deserve better, I can name a few ahead of Naomi. Sonya for one.

Nothing wrong with Naomi, but absolutely find it hilarious that she ain't lightning this place on fire so far.
