#4 Naomi
2017 has been the year of the glow. Naomi has had a fantastic run in 2017, winning the belt for the first time in her career. A well deserved year after years of service to the company, Naomi proved why she deserves to be at the top of the card, delivering great matches time and again against wrestlers like Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
But perhaps the peak of her year came at WrestleMania 33 when she won the SmackDown Women's Championship in her hometown of Orlando. What made this moment great was that at WrestleMania 29, her mixed tag match was cancelled and put on RAW the next night instead. If you follow Total Divas, you'll know just how devastated she was. So for her to have that moment at WrestleMania in her hometown this year is truly a culmination of all the hard work she's put in for the company. On top of that, she got a pretty solid 4-month run with the title, which not many can say they've had.
Her unique entrance and "glow" factor added a lot of character to her in-ring personality, and we can't wait to see what 2018 has in store for her!
