5 WWE female superstars who were dancers before getting into wrestling

#3. Former WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Naomi

Naomi was an Orlando Magic dancer

Naomi is one of the most athletic WWE Superstars today. She is also one of the best dancers on the roster.

The 33-year-old was a professional dancer before joining WWE in 2009. She was an Orlando Magic Dancer for two years. The former SmackDown Women's Champion was also a professional dancer for Flo Rida.

She told the story of her dancing career in an interview with Athleisure Magazine:

"I started dance at the age of 8 and I studied tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, modern and hip hop up until the age of 18. I competed nationally and once I was 18, I was too old to compete and graduated high school. So it was time for that next chapter and from there, I auditioned and went to the Magic from there."

"I wanted to go to Alvin Ailey Dance School, but at the time I just wasn’t mentally prepared and honestly, I was just scared to leave home! I had never been away from home so I ended up doing community college and stayed local and ended up doing Magic."

Naomi stated that she is glad things did not go as she wished back then:

"I’m kind of glad now that I didn’t go, because I don’t think that I ever would have gotten into wrestling and then I would have never met my husband and so on and so forth! It all kind of worked out how it was supposed to."

Naomi went on to become a successful WWE Superstar. She is a two-time WWE Smackdown Women's Champion. The Glow Queen now competes on Monday Night RAW, chasing the Women's Tag Team Championships alongside her partner Lana.

She regularly posts dancing videos on TikTok and Instagram.
