Bianca Belair and Naomi are ready to get their hands on ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio after losing the Women’s Tag Team Championships on the February 24, edition of WWE Raw. In the show’s main event, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez kicked-off their record-breaking third reign with the titles by defeating Naomi and Belair, thanks in part to Dominik’s interference.

Now, Belair and Naomi have payback in mind. When a fan shared their hope that the former champions will teach ‘Dirty Dom’ a painful lesson, Belair made clear she wants a match with Mysterio.

Naomi is also ready to face Dominik Mysterio. Not only does she want to throw down with the Judgment Day member, but is eager to give him a painful makeover.

It remains to be seen if either the Glow or the EST will face Mysterio, but such matches will be possible in WWE 2K25. The upcoming game will mark the return of intergender matches as a playable feature, in a sharp turn from WWE’s usual stance on male vs. female contests. With over 300 playable characters, WWE 2K25 will be the literally biggest wrestling game ever, giving fans plenty of opportunities for intergender matches and more.

Belair and Naomi will be a part of the Women’s Elimination Chamber match on March 1, a match that will also feature Morgan. While the Chamber should in theory keep Dominik at bay, Belair and Naomi know to not count out cheating from Liv and her ‘Daddy Dom.’

Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez are the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions after winning the gold in the main event of the February 24, edition of WWE Monday Night Raw. The finish of the match saw Raquel prevent Naomi from hitting the split legged moonsault and then ram Naomi head into the post. With Naomi out cold, Morgan got the pinfall to end the reign of the Glow and Bianca Belair.

Belair and Naomi had been recognized as tag team champions since November 2024. Belair had held the gold since August’s Bash In Berlin PLE, where she won the gold since Jade Cargill. After Cargill was taken out by a mystery assailant, Naomi replaced her in the tag team.

This loss raises questions as to how Cargill will respond once she’s back, as she has lost a title in WWE without even being a part of the match. Many fans predict that either Belair or Naomi were behind the attack, an act that would turn either woman heel. Both have accused Liv and Raquel of being the attackers, though they have denied the claim.

This victory makes Liv Morgan a record-tying four-time WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, while Raquel Rodriguez is now a three-time champion. As a team, this is the third reign for the Judgment Day members.

WWE Superstar Naomi recently opened up about changing her entrance music, expressing strong nostalgia for her former theme song “Amazing” during an appearance on Casual Conversations.

“I miss my old theme so bad. I didn’t want to change it,” Naomi admitted, acknowledging the deep connection both she and fans had developed with the song that accompanied her “Feel the Glow” persona.

While discussing her new entrance music, Naomi maintained a balanced perspective. “I like my new one, but fans and I were really connected to the old one,” she explained. “That song was nostalgic. We been through some things with that one!” she added with a laugh.

The sentiment resonates with many WWE fans who have long associated “Amazing” with Naomi’s dynamic presence. Given WWE’s occasional practice of reviving classic entrance themes, fans hoping for the return of Naomi’s beloved original music may still have reason for optimism.

Could AJ Lee be gearing up for a WWE comeback? Naomi certainly hopes so. During her appearance on Casual Conversations, Naomi revealed she’s been actively campaigning for AJ Lee’s return—so much so that she’s even enlisted CM Punk to help persuade his wife.

“I be harassing her husband about that all the time! I told him, ‘You need to tell her I can’t retire until she comes back!'” Naomi said.

With CM Punk back in WWE, speculation has been swirling about a possible AJ Lee return. Chants for the former Divas Champion have echoed at recent events, particularly during the Royal Rumble, fueling fan hopes.

Naomi acknowledged the demand, saying it speaks volumes about AJ’s legacy.

“For her to be gone over a decade and still be missed that much? That tells you what she did for wrestling. She was special.”

As for whether AJ will actually step back into the ring, Naomi made her stance clear.

“Even if it’s just a quick little show, we starving, sis! We need it to happen!”

Naomi and AJ Lee’s paths first crossed in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in 2009-2010, where they both competed for the FCW Divas Championship. AJ Lee won the title from Naomi in December 2010.

Their careers continued to intersect when they both participated in the third season of NXT in 2010, with AJ Lee finishing in third place. After moving to WWE’s main roster, they faced each other multiple times, including a notable match in August 2013 when AJ Lee, as Divas Champion, successfully defended her title against several competitors including Naomi.

The ball may be in AJ Lee’s court, but with Naomi and the WWE Universe behind her, the door for a return has never been more open.

WWE Superstar Naomi has firmly denied fan speculation that she was behind the shocking attack on Jade Cargill, dismissing the rumors as “insane.” During an interview on Casual Conversations, Naomi expressed frustration over conspiracy theories linking her to the attack, which has left Jade sidelined.

“I don’t get it. All I do is run in, help my friends, even put my own self in danger and get beat up. Like, what? The drama these people make up means nothing,” Naomi said.

Naomi did, however, have a few names in mind when asked who she thought might be responsible.

“Liv and Raquel… or maybe someone from NXT. They were slick with it, though. Jade had a target on her back—her rise was quick and fast, and they got her just as fast,” she speculated.

With the mystery still unsolved, Naomi emphasized that she had nothing to gain from betraying Jade and Bianca Belair.

“I only stepped in to help Bianca so she wouldn’t have to relinquish the title. It makes no sense why y’all would think it’s me!”

As Jade’s return looms, the identity of her attacker remains one of WWE’s most intriguing storylines. Naomi is adamant that she isn’t the culprit, but fans will have to wait and see who the real villain is.

Catch Naomi’s additional comments about WWE’s Partnership with TNA Wrestling, the possibility of AJ Lee returning and more.

The February 10, edition of WWE Monday Night Raw saw the red brand take a huge step towards Elimination Chamber 2025, with two Superstars earning their spots in the PLE’s two chamber matches. Bayley defeated Lyra Valkyria to earn a spot in the Women’s Chamber while the main event of Raw saw Logan Paul defeat Rey Mysterio to punch his ticket to Toronto.

After Raw, the New Day attacked Mysterio, once again to a chorus of boos from the WWE Universe. Dragon Lee arrived to make the save and was able to hold off Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods for a period of time. Ultimately though, the numbers proved too much and Lee would also fall to the former Tag Team Champions.

The assault on Mysterio wasn’t the only notable moment after this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw went off the air. In a dark match after the show, Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Naomi put their titles on the line against Chelsea Green and Piper Niven. Despite the efforts of the challengers to make Green a double champion, Belair and Naomi retained their gold.

Belair has held the gold since WWE Bash In Berlin while Naomi has replaced Jade Cargill following the attack on the Storm in a parking lot. With another victory to their name, it may be a while before fans see the women’s tag team titles change hands.

WWE Superstar Naomi has been credited with inspiring the historic collaboration between WWE and TNA Wrestling. According to TNA star Jordynne Grace, this partnership would not have been possible without Naomi’s influence and efforts.

As a champion in both promotions, Naomi’s career has bridged two of the biggest names in wrestling. She captured the SmackDown Women’s Championship twice in WWE and went on to win the Knockouts World Championship in TNA Wrestling under her real name, Trinity Fatu.

Her success across both companies has positioned her as a vital figure in fostering this partnership, which could lead to future cross-promotional events and opportunities.

Naomi’s contributions extend beyond the ring, shaping the future of the wrestling industry and paving the way for greater unity between major promotions.

Jordynne Grace: Ultimate X Will Happen At WrestleMania

Bianca Belair will continue forward as a WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, with a new partner to replace the injured Jade Cargill. Last month, Cargill was found laid out in a parking lot, seemingly the victim of an ambush. Belair, who was competing in a Women’s U.S. Title Tournament when Cargill was found, abandoned her match to check on her friend and tag-team partner.

On the December 13, episode of WWE SmackDown, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis told Bianca Belair that Jade Cargill’s absence will cause them to relinquish the titles. Belair was against the idea, and Naomi arrived on the scene to argue that she can fill in for Cargill.

Aldis said that Belair and Naomi will need to be fighting champions, with a title defense planned for next week’s SmackDown. The SmackDown GM added that they are no closer to figuring out who attacked Cargill.

This segment marks Naomi’s first championship since returning to WWE in this year’s Women’s Royal Rumble. The Glow held the tag titles with Sasha Banks in 2022, as the pair infamously walked out of WWE still with the gold.

What Led to Naomi & Sasha Banks Walking Out Of WWE?

Many have named Naomi as a suspect in the case of who attacked Cargill, and the fact that she’s gained a tag title reign in her absence will only fuel speculation. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Naomi, Belair, and Cargill, and the mystery of who took out the inaugural AEW TBS Champion.

The women of WWE have wasted no time in laying claim to the United States Women’s Title after the title was announced during this week’s SmackDown. Nick Aldis revealed the new gold during the show and said that the inaugural champion will earn the gold, rather than it be awarded.

Chelsea Green has proven to be a thorn in the side of ‘Sir Nicholas The Nasty’ and despite Aldis’ claim, is ready to be handed the new title.

The Canadian also took her efforts to Triple H who wanted the Game to take her into “consideration” to be the first Women’s U.S. Champion.

Green’s tag team partner Piper Niven would likely love for her friend to hold gold, but she also has her eyes on becoming the first Women’s United States Champion.

Natalya, who inked a new contract with WWE this year, is ready to hold her first singles title since 2017, when she held the SmackDown Women’s Championship.

Michin has yet to hold gold in WWE but is ready to win big, if nothing else than to continue her long-standing rivalry with AEW’s Shelton Benjamin.

It’s not just the Superstars who are excited, as referee Jessika Carr can’t wait to officiate matches for the Women’s United States Championship.

While WWE CCO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque is pleased that the title will showcase the continued effort of the women of the promotion.

There have been calls for years for WWE to introduce a mid-card title to its roster, with the likes of Drew McIntyre, Bayley, Tiffany Stratton, and even The Undertaker, being on board. WWE introduced its first Women’s mid-card title earlier this year with the NXT Women’s North American Gold, but now the women of the main roster will have a new opportunity to showcase their talent.

It’s fitting that Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns began the weekend confronting one another on a football field in their memorable “cinema” exchange on SmackDown because the NFL is always full of “cinema” week in and week out.

Starting this week for the rest of the NFL season, I’ll be doing a pro football/pro wrestling round-up – how the two worlds collide with one another during the NFL season.

Week 3 of the NFL had its fair share of upsets and defining Ws for certain teams, but pro wrestling was in full force on the gridiron. Stars from WWE and AEW were not just attending the games themselves, but players also took opportunity express their pro wrestling fandom.

Seth Rollins Gets “Royal Rumbled” By Star Colts WR!

Seth Rollins is unabashed in his fandom for the Chicago Bears and wears his emotions on his sleeve whether his team wins or loses. In near signature fashion, Rollins will typically wallow in a Bears loss by posting “I hate football” on X or will celebrate by writing “I love football” instead.

Rollins’ actions spoke louder than his words this week as the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion was actually in attendance for the game as the Bears played in Indianapolis. Rollins was clearly the heel in enemy territory and a babyface TY Hilton, longtime Colts wide receiver, “tossed” Rollins “over the top” and onto the field as the Bears took the loss, dropping to 1-2 currently on the season.

Ric Flair Sees Similarities Between Aaron Rodgers and Arn Anderson

With Tom Brady retiring two seasons ago, Aaron Rodgers is currently the oldest active player in the NFL. Even with Brady, the New York Jets’ QB is one of the purest top talents to ever enter the league. It’s no surprise that before the Jets played the New England Patriots this past Thursday that Ric Flair took to social media to put a picture-by-picture comparison of Rodgers next to his Four Horsemen compatriot, Arn Anderson, one of the purest pro wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring.

Rodgers infamously tore his Achilles tendon to start the 2023 season, taking him out for the whole year, but much like Arn, Rodgers didn’t appear to age on Thursday as he ripped the Patriots apart, going 27 for 35 with 281 passing yards, two touchdowns and a 118.9 passer rating. The Jets are now 2-1 after handing their division rival one hefty loss.

Sheamus Revs Up The Tennessee Titan Fans (Almost)

Sheamus may be Irish, but The Celtic Warrior packs quite the presence in Nashville, TN. Sunday was no exception as Sheamus took to Nissan Stadium to amp up the crowd ahead of the Titans playing the Packers. However, all that was “White Noise” as Will Levis and the Titans fell to the Green Bay Packers 30-14.

Jamaal Williams Believes In Joe Hendry

Many wrestling fans “believe” in Joe Hendry, but some NFL players do too. Jamaal Williams, running back for the New Orleans Saints, is one of them. Heading into warm-ups before his team played the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend, Williams hit up the Saints social media team to sing the Joe Hendry theme for the viewers.

Williams may now have channel Journey with “Don’t Stop Believing” as the Saints fell to the Eagles 15-12.

AEW & WWE Stars Reunite For The 49ers vs. The Rams

There was quite the pro wrestling reunion in Los Angeles this weekend as AEW stars joined up with WWE stars to celebrate their San Francisco 49ers. Bayley, Leila Gray, Mercedes Mone, Tamina Snuka and Naomi all met up to cheer on the Brock Purdy-led red and gold. However, much like Giovanni Vinci this past Friday with Apollo Crews, the Los Angeles Rams has the Niners’ number, rolling up for an upset win with a game-winning field goal.

Wrestling Related Games Win-Loss Record

It’s a rough start to the season for wrestling and football related news as the team tied with pro wrestling went 1-4 for the week.

AEW wrestlers and WWE Superstars don’t share the ring, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t friendships that go beyond where a talent works. This week, the ‘Forbidden Door’ was opened at an NFL game that saw the San Francisco 49ers take on the Los Angeles Rams.

On Twitter, AEW’s Leila Grey shared some photos from the game, which she watched alongside TBS Champion Mercedes Moné, Bayley, Naomi, and Tamina Snuka.

Despite holding a 24-14 lead in the fourth quarter, the 49ers were unable to fend off a late surge by the Rams, who clinched a 27-24 victory with a game-winning field goal as time expired. Bayley’s love for the 49ers is no secret, as she presented George Kittle with a WWE Legacy Championship earlier this year and pumped up fans at the January game.

This game also proved to be a reunion for Moné, Naomi, and Tamina who formed Team B.A.D (Beautiful and Dangerous) when Mone was called up to the main roster in 2015. The group feuded with Team Bella (The Bella Twins and Alicia Fox) and PCB (Paige, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch) before Moné (then Sasha Banks) split from Team B.A.D in early 2016.

While discourse about WWE and AEW may get heated among fans on social media, these five wrestlers enjoyed each other’s company at the game, even if the result didn’t go their way. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on WWE and All Elite Wrestling.

• Seth Rollins Has Viral Moment With Ty Hilton At Bears Vs. Colts Game

A trio of WWE Superstars paid tribute to Olympic Champion Simone Biles on the latest edition of WWE SmackDown on FOX. During the show, Jade Cargill, Naomi, and Bianca Belair united to take on WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn) and Blair Davenport. The two sides have been at odds for some time and Davenport has helped the champion retain their gold against Cargill and Belair.

Belair, Cargill, and Naomi wore a series of colorful attires for this week’s WWE SmackDown which aired from the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Eagle-eyed fans will have noticed that these attires were all inspired by attires Biles has worn in gymnastics.

The Biles-inspired team got the win on SmackDown. The Unholy Union and Davenport isolated Belair until The EST finally made the tag to Cargill, who emerged as a one-woman wrecking crew. Naomi got the win for her team after hitting a split-legged moonsault on Blair Davenport.

What’s To Come?

The Unholy Union will defend their WWE Tag Team Championships at WWE Bash in Berlin against Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair. The challengers have so far had a mixed experience at WWE PLEs in Europe as they won the gold at Backlash: France and lost the titles to the Unholy Union at Clash At The Castle: Scotland.

WWE Bash In Berlin will take place on August 31, and will air from the Uber Arena in the German capital. The show will mark WWE’s first Premium Live Event from Germany and the latest in a string of shows that have seen WWE travel beyond North America. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest from WWE Bash in Berlin, including breaking news and live results next weekend.

There has perhaps never been a better time to be a woman in the world of professional wrestling, according to WWE SmackDown Superstar Naomi. 

The treatment of women in WWE has made leaps and bounds over the past ten years after decades of female talent being seen as an afterthought at best or titillation for male fans at worst. Nowadays, the women of WWE can be found headlining Premium Live Events and being part of complex storylines that revolve around more than a man or a title. 

• Rhea Ripley Retains in Homecoming Elimination Chamber Main Event

Naomi On Today’s Era for Women

A 15-year veteran of the industry, Naomi has certainly seen the wrestling world change its stance on women dramatically. Speaking to Fault Magazine, Naomi discussed how the industry has changed. 

“I think now is the best the business has ever been for a female wrestler thanks to women over the decades continuously breaking down barriers. I’ve seen a lot of growth and change in the industry since I started my career in 2009 with the way women are represented and treated in the business!

“Slowly but showly women wrestlers have and are continuing to prove that we are draws, deserve the tv time and wages equal to the men. 

Naomi has been a part of that change in the wrestling industry. In 2022, Naomi and Mercedes Mone walked out of WWE, unhappy about the creative plans for the then-Women’s Tag Team Champions. The plan had been for both to enter (and likely lose) singles title feuds, a storyline that wouldn’t have been made for the men’s tag champions at the time. 

Upon joining TNA Wrestling in 2023, Naomi (who went by Trinity) would be featured as one of the company’s top stars, a position that until recent years was rarely held by a woman. Now back in WWE, Naomi remains focused on showing what women can do in the ring and demonstrating why success in the industry should not be defined by sex. 

The trio of Jade Cargill, Naomi, and Bianca Belair proved to be a force to be reckoned with by emerging victorious at WWE WrestleMania 40.

In the fifth match of WWE WrestleMania 40: Saturday, the trio dispatched of Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai & WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Asuka & Kairi Sane.) The finish of the match saw Asuka accidentally mist Kairi Sane before the Empress of Tomorrow was dispatched of by Bianca Belair. Cargill would then level Dakota Kai to get the win for her team.

The Storm is Here

Going into this six-woman tag-team match, there was a lot of interest in how Jade Cargill would fare at her first WrestleMania. It wasn’t long into the match that “We Want Jade” chants rumbled throughout the massive crowd inside Lincoln Financial Field. Cargill certainly looked like she belonged in the ring at WrestleMania 40 and fans can expect the Storm to be at many WrestleManias and other Premium Live Events to come. 

Cargill signed with WWE in September 2023 and was immediately treated as a massive high-profile acquisition for the company. Before arriving in WWE, Cargill made her name in All Elite Wrestling, where she was the first AEW TBS Champion. Her 508-day reign with the gold remains the longest title reign of any champion in AEW history.

AEW is ready to light Boston up with tonight’s ‘Big Business’ show, and two WWE Superstars have come to Beantown to support their debuting ally. 

Much of that buzz around AEW Big Business surrounds Mercedes Mone, who is expected to make her official AEW debut during tonight’s show. Mone, who has been on AEW’s payroll for some time, has hardly been subtle when it comes to her involvement in the show. 

WWE Superstars in Boston

Mone’s debut is being seen by many as a sure thing, and the presence of two WWE Superstars certainly adds credence to the belief she’ll debut. Bayley and Naomi, both close friends of Mone, are in Boston ahead of tonight’s show, PW Insider reports.

The three have been closely linked for years, with Bayley and Mone being the ‘Boss ‘n Hug Connection’ in WWE while it was with Naomi that Mone walked out of that same promotion two years ago. Bayley and Naomi made the trip to Japan in January 2023 to watch Mone make her NJPW debut at that year’s Wrestle Kingdom 17 event. The pair were also at NJPW Battle in the Valley 2023, which saw Mone capture the IWGP Women’s Championship. 

Bayley and Mone were in attendance when Naomi, as Trinity, made her debut for TNA Wrestling (IMPACT Wrestling at the time) in May of last year. The pair were also present at TNA Hard to Kill 2024, which saw Trinity lose the TNA Knockouts Championship to current champ Jordynne Grace. 

AEW Dynamite – March 13th, 2024

Here is what fans can look forward to on tonight’s show.

• AEW World Championship: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Wardow
• The Elite vs. Eddie Kingston & Penta El Zero Miedo & Pac
• Darby Allin vs. Jay White
• Willow Nightingale vs. Riho
• Chris Jericho & Hook vs. Gates of Agony
• Mercedes Mone’s debut (expected)

The Superstars of WWE paid a touching tribute to Akira Toriyama at a recent live event, following the manga titan’s death at the age of 68. 

Toriyama’s death was announced last week. He had suffered an acute subdural hematoma, which is a type of bleeding near the brain, his studio reported. Toriyama is best known for creating the manga hit Dragon Ball, which has spawned shows, movies, video games, and more. The main series follows Goku and his efforts to collect the titular Dragon Balls to protect the Earth. 

WWE Tributes to Akira Toriyama

At a recent WWE live event, WWE’s Zelina Vega and Naomi paid a special tribute to Toriyama while in the ring. The pair performed a ‘Fusion’ move from Dragon Ball. In the hit series, this allows two characters to ‘fuse’ and become even more powerful than as two individuals. On Twitter, Vega shared the spot in question. 

FUUUUUSION! HA!!! @TheTrinity_Fatu #RIPAkiraToriyama 🙏🏽🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/CYlFXiXzl8

— ZV (@ZelinaVegaWWE) March 11, 2024

In a tweet of her own, Naomi said she was “fused for life” with her “sis” Vega. When a fan pointed out that the fusion in the show only lasts for 30 minutes, Naomi admitted that she’s still learning about Dragon Ball. 

I’m still learning lol

— Trinity (@TheTrinity_Fatu) March 11, 2024

Zelina Vega and Dragon Ball

While Naomi is a newbie to the world of Dragon Ball, Vega’s love for the series can’t be denied. At WWE Money in the Bank 2023, Vega wore an attire referencing series villain Frieza, but was unsuccessful in the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match that was won by reigning WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY. 

The Superstars of the WWE have been talking following the explosive WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth Premium Live Event. 

The event marked WWE’s first Premium Live Event in Australia since 2018. In the main event, Rhea Ripley retained her Women’s World Title against Nia Jax in front of thousands of her fellow Australians. Drew McIntyre won the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, earning a World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40. Becky Lynch won the Women’s Elimination Chamber match. She will face Ripley at WrestleMania 40.

Taking to Twitter after the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, Seth Rollins was thrilled to see his wife Becky Lynch emerge the victor.

The climactic finish to Super Bowl LVIII that saw the Kansas City Chiefs emerge supreme once again has had the wrestling world talking.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Chiefs were tied 19-19 with the San Fransisco 49ers. In overtime, it looked like the 49ers were going to win. That was until the last second when the Chiefs scored, earning them the lead and their latest Super Bowl championship. 

The Wrestling World Reacts

On Twitter, Baron Corbin shared his delight that the Chiefs are now back-to-back champions. The Lone Wolf, who had been backing the Chiefs from the start, couldn’t celebrate two loudly as his children were sleeping. 

Holy shit!!! Back to Back Champions!!!!!! @Chiefs pic.twitter.com/LbvU4Trww7

Former AEW Women’s World Champion Nyla Rose didn’t watch the game live but felt it would’ve been better had it taken place in the legendary Tokyo Dome used for NJPW Wrestle Kingdom.

Rose would also use an image of Travis Kelce at the game to tease Mercedes Mone’s expected arrival in AEW. The Boss will reportedly debut at the upcoming Big Business event in her hometown of Boston next month. 

It’s called @AEW BIG BUSINESS! And it’s in Boston on March 13! But they spelled it “BOSSTON” and I’m pretty sure one of the “S’s” was a dollar sign and that’s not even remotely close to how you spell Boston.

The WWE Superstars shined bright at Super Bowl LVIII which saw the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers face off in the Big Game.

Super Bowl LVIII is taking place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, which WWE fans will recognize as the host of SummerSlam 2021. The game went into overtime after the four quarters resulted in a 19-19 tie. 

WWE Superstars at the Super Bowl

Allegiant Stadium was packed with football fans and there were several WWE Superstars who made their presence felt. WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio had a great view of the game in support of the 49ers.

It wasn’t just WWE Superstars who were at the Big Game. On social media, AEW’s Britt Baker was able to share a selfie with Bayley. 

Wrestling & the Super Bowl

Several names from the world of wrestling competed in the Super Bowl. Monty Brown played in the Big Game before he’d make his mark in WWE as Marcus Cor Von. Raw commentator, Pat McAfee played in Super Bowl XLIV in his rookie year but was unsuccessful. Rob Gronkowski is better known for his NFL success but was briefly a WWE Superstar and former 24/7 Champion. 

Years before his days as a wrestling World Champion, Big Van Vader played for the LA Rams but lost to the Steelers. Steve ‘Mongo’ McMichael, who was recently announced for Football’s Hall of Fame, both won in the Super Bowl and is a former WCW United States Champion. 

More has come to light about WWE’s upcoming Women’s Elimination Chamber match which will determine who challenges for the Women’s World Title at WrestleMania. 

The match will take place at the Elimination Chamber: Perth Premium Live Event that will take place from Optus Stadium on February 24. The show will be WWE’s first PLE in Australia since 2018. It will also serve as WWE’s final main-roster Premium Live Event ahead of WrestleMania 40 which will kick off on April 6, in Philadelphia, PA. 

Spoiled Entrants

Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch have already qualified for the match, but thanks to WWE sharing an image early, fans know who will be joining the former champions. It is now known that Naomi, Liv Morgan, Tiffany Stratton, and Jade Cargill are set to compete in the match. This will mark the second Chamber match for Naomi and Belair, and the fifth for Liv Morgan. It will mark the first time entering the Elimination Chamber for Becky Lynch, Tiffany Stratton, and Jade Cargill, the latter of whom will be competing in her second WWE match ever at the event. 

Latest News

Mike Johnson of PW Insider has since confirmed that the plan is for Lynch, Belair, Naomi, Stratton, Morgan, and Cargill to be part of the upcoming match.  Morgan, Stratton, and Naomi all have qualifying matches in the coming week. At this time, it is not confirmed how Cargill will earn her spot in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match. 

Becky Lynch is immensely confident of earning a shot at the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania… 

Naomi is back in WWE after close to two years away, and has set her sights on a huge accolade only a few Superstars have reached.

The former TNA Knockouts Champion was the #2 entrant in the Women’s Royal Rumble match, her first match for WWE since May of 2022. Naomi, alongside Mercedes Mone (then Sasha Banks), walked out of the promotion that same month, citing frustration with the creative team’s plans for the then-WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. WWE would strip the pair of the gold and Naomi (as Trinity) debuted for TNA last year. 

Naomi’s Goal

Naomi didn’t win a title match at WrestleMania 40, but she was the sentimental favorite of many fans in Tropicana Field. Speaking on this week’s episode of The Bump, Naomi shared what’s next for her now that she is once again a WWE Superstar. 

“Now I got to do it bigger this time in the WWE way bigger than before but the challenge this time is though; I been around and I’m back again it’s like starting all the way over at the bottom but I’m looking forward to that challenge and working my way back up to going against the best of the best. My goal is to be a grand slam champion. That’s my focus. “

Naomi’s Championship Past

Out of the current Women’s Championships in WWE, Naomi has only held the Women’s Tag Team Championships (with Sasha Banks). She is a two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion, which is today known as Rhea Ripley’s Women’s World Championship.

Outside of titles, Naomi was the winner of the 2018 Women’s WrestleMania Battle Royal and won ‘Most Underrated Superstar of the Year’ at 2018’s WWE Year-End Awards. She’s also a one-time Slammy Award winner, taking home 2013’s Best Dance Moves of the Year with Cameron for her role in the Funkadactyls. 

Naomi had a strong message after her return in the Women’s Royal Rumble match… 

WWE saw a few surprises during the 2024 Royal Rumble event. Naomi and Andrade both returned to the company, and now we have an update on what is next for them.

WWE’s Plan for Andrade

Andrade concluded his tenure with AEW at World’s End, in a loss to Miro. It was pretty clear that his return to WWE was happening. Despite expectations for an earlier debut, Andrade made his way back during the 2024 Royal Rumble event. 

Sean Ross Sapp reported on Fightful Select that Andrade was scheduled for tonight’s WWE Raw. Charlotte Flair, who advocated for his return, showed support backstage at the WWE Royal Rumble, as she helped prepare him for his big moment. 

Charlotte, who is on the Smackdown brand, is currently sidelined with a terrible knee injury. She may be out for about a year at this point, so the fact that they are on different brands isn’t a big deal.

Plans for Naomi in WWE

Naomi also returned during the 2024 Royal Rumble match. The Glow is anticipated to be featured on the Smackdown brand. 

Having previously performed in TNA under her real name, Trinity, Naomi openly communicated her return to WWE and likely participation in the Royal Rumble. TNA sources reportedly mentioned that it became apparent by the start of the year that Naomi would be concluding her time with TNA. 

WWE maintained interest in Naomi for over a year, but due to an informal hiring freeze, her return was delayed until after her TNA obligations were fulfilled. Now, she is back, and ready to battle on the blue brand, where her husband, Jimmy Uso, is still a top act as part of The Bloodline. 

There’s nothing that can hold Naomi back, according to the GLOW herself, following her impressive return to WWE this week. 

The former TNA Knockouts Champion was the #2 entrant in the Women’s Royal Rumble match, her first match for WWE since May of 2022. Naomi, alongside Mercedes Mone (then Sasha Banks) walked out of the promotion that same month, citing frustration with the creative team’s plans for the then-WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. WWE would strip the pair of the gold and Naomi (as Trinity) debuted for TNA last year. 

Naomi On Her WWE Return

Naomi didn’t win a title match at WrestleMania 40, but she was the sentimental favorite of many fans in Tropicana Field. Speaking after the match, Naomishared what it felt like to be back. 

“Ah man, it was hard to hold back all the emotions. I couldn’t — oh man, it felt really good. After this little journey I’ve been on, finally being back, and that’s the scary part. You never know what that reaction or response is. So to feel that, man. It’s so much more rewarding. I’m so grateful to be back.”

Naomi added that she’s optimistic for the future and gave some props to the woman who eliminated her: the debuting Jade Cargill. 

“After this ride I’ve been on, I feel like nothing can break me. I didn’t win, but I hung in there but that Jade [Cargill] is something else though.”

Naomi wasn’t the only name associated with TNA Wrestling to appear in the Women’s Royal Rumble match… 

Florida’s own Naomi has made her return to WWE as part of the Women’s Royal Rumble match, close to two years after her controversial exit from the promotion. 

Naomi was the #2 entrant in the 2024 Women’s Rumble match and started the match with the #1 entrant Natalya. This match marked her first bout for WWE since May of 2022.

Not only is Naomi back, but WWE also mentioned her run with TNA Wrestling. On commentary, Michael Cole recalled Naomi’s time as a two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion and mentioned that she is a former TNA Knockouts Champion. 

Naomi and Mercedes Mone (then Sasha Banks) would infamously walk out of WWE in May of 2022. The pair would have creative differences with WWE’s plans for them at the time. The reported plan was for the then-Women’s Tag Team Champions to enter singles feuds for the Raw & SmackDown Women’s Championships, which the pair were expected to lose. 

Fans can expect to see several surprise returns as part of the upcoming Royal Rumble event, it has been reported.

The WWE 2024 Royal Rumble premium live event will take place on Saturday, January 27 from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. It will be the 37th annual Rumble event and the seventh event to feature both men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches.

SE Scoops will have a live correspondent on hand for the Royal Rumble. Stay tuned for more information about exclusive content coming to the site, social media and YouTube from St. Petersburg.

Wrestling fans are eagerly anticipating some surprise entrants in the men’s and women’s matches. Less than three weeks out as of this writing, the first round of rumored names include Sean Waltman, Naomi, and Liv Morgan, according to reporting from PW Insider.

Who Not To Expect In The 2024 Royal Rumble

Hulk Hogan

Okay, let’s get this one out of the way, because we must address it. Hulk Hogan’s name was not churning in the rumor mill for the 2024 Royal Rumble match until he put it there. The Hulkster showed up on RAW this week and said he may have one more match left in him. That is not happening this year. I asked around about this right after Hogan’s promo, and everyone gave me a resounding “No way” and/or “Hell No!” when I asked whether Hulk Hogan is coming in for the match at Tropicana Field.

This goes without saying, but I received a resounding "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" when asking if Hulk Hogan is scheduled to be in the Royal Rumble match this Saturday…

Shane McMahon

Shane McMahon used to have a lot to do with the Royal Rumble match, as he also used to help produce it. I asked around as late as this week and was able to confirm that Shane-O Mac is not in any discussion for the 2024 Royal Rumble match. So, despite many expected surprises, Vince McMahon’s son will not be one of them either. 

As if this needs to be said, but I'm still reporting it, cause I CAN.

I've asked around and no, Shane McMahon is not involved in the 2024 #RoyalRumble planning, nor is he slated to be in the match.

Royal Rumble Potential Surprise Entrants

Sean Waltman

Waltman was recently at the WWE Performance Center which is also in Florida. On January 12, the nWo and DX alum said he can still go in the ring, but there’s “zero chance” he’ll be there:

There was talk last week at the PC about Waltman being in Florida over the Rumble weekend. Last year, Waltman told a fan “maybe” when asked about competing in the match. Waltman is a two-time WWE Hall of Famer. His most recent match for WWE was a 10-person tag-team match on the July 8, 2002, edition of Monday Night Raw.

I can still go at the drop of hat, at least for a few minutes. I can do all my kicks, except the one in the corner & I can do that again with a few weeks training. I'm at least month away from taking my shirt off in public, so zero chance I'll be in the Rumble.

Naomi / Trinity Fatu

Former WWE star Naomi is among those being discussed for a return in the Women’s Rumble match. The reigning IMPACT/TNA Knockouts World Champion competes as Trinity but is expected to finish with that promotion at tapings later this month. The belief within WWE is that she will be returning once her run with IMPACT/TNA expires. Naomi/Trinity famously walked out of WWE in May 2022 alongside Sasha Banks (now Mercedes Mone) due to creative differences with WWE.

Liv Morgan

Liv Morgan is also said to be in the mix, as there were talks back in November of her returning from her shoulder injury. Morgan was recently arrested for marijuana possession, but there is little to no heat on her from WWE management. Her legal issue has not changed plans for her, and she recently saw the most serious charge against her dropped.

Giulia

Giulia’s status is a very interesting one. Rumors have been flying around about WWE interest in here. In face, it was reported that AEW backed off of her completely after interest from WWE was evident. Only time will tell if Giulia shows up at the Royal Rumble. She has not been to the WWE Performance Center yet, but the idea of her showing up in Tropicana Field is certainly possible.

Mercedes Mone/Sasha Banks

Mercedes’ free agent situation is very interesting. The former Banks, who is notorious for keeping her contracts close to the vest, is now bound for another company after her NJPW deal expired. Although rumors of a WWE return are strong, those in WWE still believe that she is heading to AEW. Others, like Sean Ross Sapp have indicated the same. There were talks between WWE and Mone, but they hit a financial roadblock.

Jade Cargill

A lot of things are going on with Jade Cargill, and WWE has big plans for her. As a former TBS Champion in AEW, World Wrestling Entertainment didn’t jump right to debuting her in the ring. Instead, they opted for a slow burn debut, where she showed up at Fastlane. Then, they placed her in the WWE Performance Center, so she could polish up her skills and get ready for her big moment. It will be interesting to see if WWE pulls the trigger on her debut at the Royal Rumble, and just how much time they give her in the match.

Kazuchika Okada

Okada is leaving NJPW, and that news broke the pro wrestling world wide open. We have not heard any explicit report of a WWE contract offer, but the man has been on WWE’s radar for years. It may be possible that NJPW would allow Okada to perform at the Royal Rumble, even if he has more dates with them. Obviously, Okada’s addition to WWE would also greatly shake up the WrestleMania landscape as well.

Kamille

Although it is expected that Kamille may debut for NXT first, WWE has their eye on the former NWA Women’s Champion. She was just backstage at AEW Dynamite, but that was only because they were very close to her home. That didn’t give any indication that Tony Khan is close to snatching her away from WWE. By all appearances, Kamille is going to WWE, where she will probably be a major player when the time comes.
