Natalya Speaks On Naomi's WWE Absence

Naomi was announced as being not medically cleared to compete on Monday Night RAW, leading to a whole load of speculation about her whereabouts and condition. There have been reports that Naomi will be out for a “long, long time”, though nothing has yet emerged on why she has been medically disqualified from action. 

Natalya has spoken about the condition of Naomi when talking on Busted Open Radio, noting that Naomi will open up when she’s ready. 

“Especially for the locker room, it’s one of those things that, well, somebody will know what’s going on, but in this situation, like, Naomi is a really close friend of mine, but I just feel like it’s a time right now where she needs space. So usually when something crazy is going on, I don’t think it’s crazy in a bad way, but I think that, like, obviously, it’s private, it’s personal. Nobody ever wants to go down with an injury. 

“Knowing how hard Naomi has fought to get this spot that she’s in. She’s at the top of the division. She has this groundbreaking moment at Money in the Bank. She wins it, and then she cashes in at the second-ever all-women’s pay-per-view, she cashes in at Evolution, which is a great way to cash in. I mean, every girl was at Gorilla, hugging her and crying, and every guy was too. Everybody was just so happy for her, so excited for her."

On SmackDown this week, it was revealed that Naomi would be at RAW to address her WWE status.
