7 former Champions in WWE who are now 'Free Agents'

#2 Naomi

The former SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi has not appeared in WWE since September. While explaining her disappearance from the weekly show, Naomi revealed that she has intentionally taken a break from the business.

There are also a few personal issues that promoted the former champion to take some time off and focus on other things that have become her priority at the moment.

Naomi shared the news via her Twitter account and said -

I've faced some trying times the past few months...losing a loved one so dear to me (rocked me to my core) & handling my own health issues I wasn't aware of forced me to slow down & reevaluate...I want my loving fans to know that I'm ok and will be back when the time is right.

Naomi can be expected to return to WWE alongside her husband and one-half of The Usos, Jimmy Uso.
