10 Things WWE Are Getting Absolutely Right At The Moment
7. Naomi's Slow Build To The Bloodline?
In Summer 2020, after a particularly ill-fated episode of SmackDown karaoke, a movement was spurred on social media with the hashtag #NaomiDeservesBetter. Surely, this angle’s endgame is the company finally conceding that sentiment...right?
For weeks now, the Governess of Glow has been cut for time, overlooked and otherwise marginalised as on-screen authority figure Sonya Deville puts her metaphorical finger (and lately Shayna Baszler) on the scale. With frustrations rising week after week, Naomi must be approaching ‘something has to change’ mode, and a familial power play could be just the way to get Sonya to…’Acknowledge Her’.
As it happens, Naomi’s husband Jimmy Uso has connections to Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman, two of the biggest power brokers in the locker room. With the Bloodline in firm control of the main event and tag division on the blue brand, not to mention Deville’s fellow authority figure Adam Pearce handing down edicts against Reigns foe Brock Lesnar, recruiting family to pursue the SmackDown Women's Championship makes perfect sense.
