Note On Previous Expectation Within WWE For When Naomi Would Return

Naomi has been rumored for a WWE return soon, and a new report has context on when she was previously expected to come back. As noted on Tuesday, WWE is reportedly preparing for Naomi’s return to the company. The former Women’s Champion has been off of TV since announcing her pregnancy in August of 2025 and relinquishing the title.

WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select reports that one source in WWE told them that they haven’t heard Naomi’s name mentioned recently. However, around the time of SummerSlam, it was expected within WWE that she would be back on TV by the end of 2026.

For complete clarity, there is no word on whether those expectations have changed or what concrete plans are in place for a potential Naomi return. There was heavy speculation online on Monday that she could be brought back after Jaida Parker aligned with The 946 in the main event segment of Raw.
