Naomi is back in WWE.

Entering second overall in the Royal Rumble, Naomi has returned to WWE.

Her history with WWE is deep, extending back to 2009. But it ended in controversy, when Naomi and Sasha Banks walked out of an episode of Raw in May of 2022. WWE attempted to create a false own narrative that Naomi and Banks were unprofessional, but they repeatedly proved that was not the case.

Naomi returned to wrestling a year ago in Impact, where she starred as Knockouts champion. She dropped the title two weeks ago at the Hard to Kill pay-per-view to Jordynne Grace.

The crowd in Tampa erupted when she returned to WWE at the number-two spot in the in the Rumble. Another surprise took place only a few entries later, as reigning Impact champ Jordynne Grace entered the match at number-five.

Clearly, there are going to be plenty of surprises at the Royal Rumble.
