Naomi is an American professional grappler and dancer. She commenced her wrestling career in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in June 2010. She later moved to NXT and debuted on the brand in September of that year. As her stint with NXT ended, she was promoted to the main roster and joined "The Funkadactyls” alongside Cameron as valets for Brodus Clay.
Naomi's first championship victory came at Elimination Chamber 2017, where she defeated Alexa Bliss to win the SmackDown Women's Championship, becoming the first African-American woman to hold the title.

The winner of the inaugural WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal (2018) has additionally captured the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship twice and the TNA Knockout World Championship once as of February 2025.
