Below are a few questions, along with Naomi’s answers:
Fox Sports: How close was it to WrestleMania that you got to the point where you felt ready to compete? Was it a close call?
Naomi: “Yes, it was literally the week before. And even then it was still a possibility, ‘I don’t know if you want to risk it or give it more time.’ I fought and fought and fought and begged. Just had to really get them to trust me.
‘Trust me, I know my body. I can go, I can do this.’ And it was literally a week before. I for sure thought I wasn’t going to make it.”
Fox Sports: Your entrance is one of the best in WWE, and you change your ring gear for every show. Where do you get the inspiration for all your different gear, and how hands-on are you in creating it?
Naomi: “It’s all me. I have a very creative mind and I’m always looking for new stuff and new things. I’m really into EDM music and the culture of that, I just love all that stuff. Changing the entrance and just doing something different every time, I think it keeps it fresh for everyone. I like people wondering ‘what is she going to wear tonight? What’s she going to have on, what’s she going to do?’ I think it just keeps it new and something different. every time that I come out, and I don’t want it to get old.
What I have been learning… I’ve been trying to learn how to shuffle dance. It looks easy, but it’s a lot harder than it looks. That’s what I’m working on next, I want to come out with a cool shuffle dance routine.”

Fox Sports: As the SmackDown Women’s Champion, perhaps you felt a little safer during the recent superstar shakeup – but were you worried about being moved and split up from Jimmy Uso?
Naomi: “Absolutely, we were so scared that we would get split. We went through this before with the WWE Draft. [Total Divas] was filming it and you got to see how I truly felt about it. I was really scared, because if we were to get split up, we would only see each other maybe a day and a half out of the week? And go from seeing each other every day and working with each other… that would have been tough. So going through that again with the shakeup, I was like ‘oh no not this again.’ But we made it through again together, I’m thankful for that.”
Naomi also discusses Charlotte, the difference between “Smackdown Live” and “Raw” and more.
