Naomi, who recently stepped away from WWE television due to her pregnancy announcement, surprised fans by expressing a desire to reconcile with Jade Cargill for reasons beyond their televised rivalry. The WWE Women’s World Champion relinquished her title on WWE RAW amid the news of her pregnancy, leaving the timeline of her return uncertain.
After WWE SmackDown in Dublin, Jade Cargill posted photos on social media, prompting a notable response from Naomi’s character, The Glow. She hinted at the need to put aside their scripted feud, joking that she might require Jade, also known as The Storm, to babysit her newborn.
“I think I want to make up now, I might need you to babysit 😁”
This comment was voiced in character rather than as Naomi’s real identity, Trinity Fatu, highlighting the distinction between their backstage relationship and the on-screen rivalry.
Background of the Rivalry Between Naomi and Jade Cargill
Their feud ignited when Naomi‘s character pushed Jade off a platform onto a car windshield, a key moment that set their conflict in motion. Subsequently, Naomi replaced Jade as Bianca Belair’s tag team partner, intensifying tensions. Presenting as the mysterious attacker, Naomi’s character was cut off by Belair, leading Jade and Naomi to engage in several high-profile matches.
At WrestleMania 41, The Storm defeated The Glow in a singles match, continuing their on-screen dispute. This rivalry extended to Evolution 2, where Jade again bested Naomi with Bianca Belair serving as the special guest referee, reinforcing their competitive storyline.
