8 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE Royal Rumble 2024 (Results & Review)

3. Naomi & TNA’s Spotlight

TNA figurehead Scott D'Amore must be going to bed with a grin that'd need surgically removed after Saturday's Rumble shenanigans. He, like the entire wrestling world, watched his product take centre stage on one of WWE's grandest PLEs. Yes, TNA/IMPACT has shared screen time on WWE's dime before, but nothing like this.

Naomi's comeback was welcome, and Michael Cole putting over her accomplishments in TNA was one of the least WWE-ish commentary calls of all time. That just didn't happen before. In fact, Cole would've been instructed to ignore anything Trinity achieved outside the sports entertainment juggernaut's walls.

This was even bigger than the plaudits Mickie James received before when she stormed the Rumble as Knockouts Champ. It's really cool to see WWE interplaying with other leagues, especially because you know they won't go overboard with it and dilute their own product like AEW and Tony Khan tends to do.

Naomi is back, but WWE thanked TNA for taking care of her.
