This looked fabulous, it really did, and it had no right to: a stunning visual feast of flashing, shifting, neon lights, Naomi’s glowing SmackDown Women’s Title added yet another layer of spectacle to her incredible entrance.
It didn’t cheapen nor enhance the prestige of a title that meant very little at the time; it simply unglued the crowd into a response, as all wrestling entrances should. While the belt was far more hypnotic than her matches, Naomi was programmed with Lana.
The whole shtick is very…druggy, let’s face it, but belt design geeks didn’t need to wrap anything in a Rizla to feel ecstatic.
