3 WWE Superstars whose careers declined and 3 whose careers thrived in 2021

#3. WWE Superstar Naomi's career declined in 2021

There is no doubt that Naomi is one of the most gifted athletes on the WWE roster. However, she did not have a good year in 2021.

The former SmackDown Women's Champion had a disappointing year in 2020. Her 2021 was not much different. She returned to WWE after several months of absence to participate in the Women's Royal Rumble match. Although she lasted in the Royal Rumble for over 47 minutes, Naomi was eliminated by Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.

In the following weeks, Naomi joined forces with Lana to feud with the Women's Tag Team Champions Jax and Baszler. The two teams squared off in a Women's Tag Team Titles match last March. Nonetheless, Naomi and her partner failed to capture the championships. Between March and May, Naomi took more losses than wins.

Since Lana's release in June, Naomi has only competed in 11 matches. She lost eight and won only three. The former dancer recently returned to the Blue Brand in the 2021 WWE Draft. She has since been feuding with WWE official Sonya Deville.

Despite being a former Women's Champion, Naomi will not be at Survivor Series as she is not a member of SmackDown's team for the Women’s 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match.
