In May 2022, Naomi and Sasha Banks left Monday Night RAW due to creative differences. As Women’s Tag Team Champions at the time, their departure resulted in the titles being vacated and won by Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah in a tournament. While fans await Naomi’s return, she is recovering from a shoulder injury, according to her former tag team partner, Ariane Andrew. Sasha Banks, now known as Mercedes Mone, is the current IWGP Women’s Champion in NJPW, while Naomi has been pursuing modeling work. Despite concerns about Naomi’s future in WWE, her injury suggests otherwise.
“So, she (Trinity Fatu/Naomi) is recovering from shoulder surgery and you know, I want her to answer the question for herself (of what’s next for her). I know she’s recovering from shoulder surgery. But, I’m super proud of her. That’s my sister from another mister and I think you have to ask her for yourself how she’s feeling. See if her shoulder is feeling good because she’s recovering right now. Ask her that question,” said Cameron.
