Naomi Hopes To Be In The Ring With Cameron Again One Day

In an interview with Kontrol Magazine, Naomi spoke about her time with Cameron as the Funkadactyls and her desire to eventually share a ring with her former tag team partner some day. Here are highlights:

On becoming a singles wrestler after the Funkadactyls: “I was a singles competitor for a few years before Ariane and I became a team so transitioning back to that wasn’t difficult at all. The hard part was not being with Ariane because we became and still are really close (she’s like a sister to me). I loved being a funkadactyl and was looking forward to us evolving together. But I have hope we’ll be in the ring together again one day. I know fans would liiiiive for that.”

On her “Glow” catchphrase: “I took inspiration from one of my favorite movies The Last Dragon, along with my own personal thoughts and ideas. The Glow is a metaphor for confidence and positivity that I also showcase visually.”

On becoming women’s champion: “I felt relieved, honored, overwhelmed with joy and so appreciative of my journey to get to that point because it prepared me and I was ready. From the first day, I got signed to WWE, being the champion was always my number one goal and after years of consistent hard work both mentally and physically, ups and downs I was finally in that moment I had dreamt and thought about so much! I remember thinking to myself as I raised the title up over my head for the first time and the fans were chanting “you deserve it” …it was all worth it! The only other time I’ve cried that many years of joy was on my wedding day (She Laughs)”. That title changed me today because it gave me and our fans the validation I needed as a performer and strong competitor in our division.”
