As the only current WWE Superstar from the all-female season of the NXT game show, Naomi has come a long way in the company. It is fair to say that her accomplishments in WWE have far exceeded those of her pro, Kelly Kelly. Naomi was the last competitor eliminated from NXT Season 3, as Kaitlyn won the entire thing.

More opportunities would come her way after NXT, as she debuted on RAW alongside Cameron as Brodus Clay's valets. Naomi's athleticism eventually stood out, resulting in her rising up the ranks and having multiple shots at the Divas Championship.

The former Funkadactyl adapted with the times, slotting in seamlessly in the SmackDown women's division. Naomi won the SmackDown Women's Championship twice, including at WrestleMania 33 in her hometown of Orlando. She has shown constant improvement in the ring ever since her stint on NXT.

Naomi is one of the most solid in-ring workers in WWE's female roster, becoming one of the most popular Superstars as well. She was also the winner of the inaugural Women's Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34.
