Naomi has shared an emotional reaction to her WWE return at Saturday’s WWE Royal Rumble 2024 premium live event.
Following heavy speculation about her potential comeback, Naomi made an appearance early in this year’s 30-woman Royal Rumble match, entering the bout in the #2 spot.
While Naomi was ultimately eliminated by a debuting Jade Cargill, the former women’s champion was in high spirits following her WWE return.
Speaking in a WWE Digital Exclusive interview, Naomi emotionally commented on her return, with the star last appearing for the company in May 2022.
Happy to be back, Naomi said:
“Aw man, it was hard to hold back all the emotions. It felt really good. After this little journey I’ve been on, to finally be back… and that’s the scary part because you never know what that reaction or response is so to feel that, man.
“It’s so much more rewarding. I feel… I’m so grateful to be back.”
