WWE star Naomi shares first look at upcoming major project

WWE Superstar Naomi took to social media today to promote her major upcoming project. The veteran returned to the company during the Women's Royal Rumble match earlier this year after walking out of WWE alongside Sasha Banks (now known as TBS Champion Mercedes Moné in AEW) in 2022.

The 36-year-old took to Instagram today to send a message ahead of her upcoming film, Queen of the Ring, set to be released on October 25. She will be portraying former wrestler Ethel Johnson in the film and shared a first look at the film today on social media.

"Thank you #BabsWingo #EthelJohnson #MarvaScott bc of you I had the opportunity #womenswrestling #queenofthering ❤️🙌," she wrote.

The former Women's Tag Team Champion teamed up with Bayley this past Friday night on SmackDown in a tag team match. The duo lost to Candice LeRae and WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax this past Friday night on the blue brand.

Former WWE writer claims Naomi confused him on a recent episode of SmackDown

Wrestling veteran Vince Russo wondered why Naomi was happy during a recent episode of WWE SmackDown.

The former TNA star squared off with Bayley on the September 27 edition of the blue brand. The Role Model picked up the victory and earned a title shot against Nia Jax at Bad Blood as a result. The Irresistible Force defeated Bayley at the Premium Live Event earlier this month to retain her title.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's BroDown show, Russo commented on the veteran hugging Bayley after the match. He noted that Naomi had just lost her title shot and should not be shown in good spirits after losing a major opportunity.

"Can someone explain to me what Naomi was so happy about? She just lost a title shot. Bro, I thought we were supposed to be competitors here. I thought we all wanted to be the champion. She just lost her title shot, and she is smiling and hugging Bayley." [From 16:16 to 16:41]
