Naomi had been assigned to RAW ever since last October’s WWE Draft. According to a report from PW Insider, however, Naomi has officially been moved back to Smackdown. She joins her husband Jimmy Uso on the brand.

Smackdown is the brand where Naomi has arguably had her most success. The 34-year-old is a 2x Smackdown Women’s Champion. Naomi won the title for the first time at Elimination Chamber on February 12th, 2017 after defeating then-champion, Alexa Bliss. She would suffer a knee injury shortly after and be forced to vacate the title, however.

Naomi would win the Smackdown Women’s Championship for the 2nd time a couple of months later at WrestleMania 33. The event that year was held in her hometown of Orlando, Florida. Her victory at WM33 was in a 6-way match that also included Becky Lynch, Carmella, Mickie James, Natalya, and Alexa Bliss who was once again champion come then.

With the recent injury to Bayley, WWE has added several names to the Smackdown women’s division as of late. Shotzi and Nox debuted on the brand recently and Toni Storm is scheduled to this week. Other wrestlers in the division include Liv Morgan, Carmella, Sasha Banks, Zelina Vega, champion Bianca Belair, and tag champs Natalya & Tamina.
