Lasted 47:39.

You won’t see Naomi in the 2023 women’s Royal Rumble match but given her performance in the 2021 bout, her absence won’t be noticed.

Having gone astray from company programming for the five months leading into the event, Naomi’s comeback as the second entrant saw her join Bayley in the opening exchange. Finally, this was WWE putting Naomi back in the spotlight, something went wrong last time but it was all working out now!

Lol, of course not, have you never seen a Vince McMahon-booked product?

Naomi did nothing in the match, somehow going forty-seven minutes and thirty-nine seconds before she was dumped out by Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.

Was she meant to last this long? Did everyone just forget she was still there until she was nabbed by Jax and Baszler? Her length of in-ring time didn’t add up to her performance.

This was one of the company’s top female stars, one of their most athletic, the total package - and she’s doing nothing to stand out in the biggest and most anticipated match of the year. What was intended to be her second big comeback in as many Royal Rumbles went forgotten in the aftermath of the event, the audience instead reminiscing over seeing Jillian Hall.
