Naomi Wants To Eventually Turn Heel Again In WWE
The former SmackDown Women's Champion feels like she has something to prove
Apr 14, 2021
Naomi has been a babyface for much of her WWE career, but the former SmackDown Women's Champion told HollywoodLife ahead of WrestleMania that she would like to turn heel again at some point down the line.
"At some point, later after [winning the tag team titles], I would like to do a 360 with the 'Glow' and the character. I see a lot of people doubting me and saying that they don't see me as someone who would drastically change and to go in a different direction and be a heel. So, I kind of want to prove that to myself," Naomi admitted.
Naomi currently finds herself in a babyface tag team with Lana on WWE TV, but she was previously a heel for over a year in 2015 and 2016. She embraced the dark side following a Battle Royal on Raw in April 2015 and was involved in the Divas Championship picture throughout the summer after she aligned herself with Tamina.
Sasha Banks then joined the two women and formed Team B.A.D following Stephanie McMahon's "Divas Revolution" speech and Naomi, Tamina and The Boss regularly teamed together until their split in early 2016. Naomi continued to team with Tamina following the break-up until she picked up an ankle injury in May 2016. When she returned later in the year, she was reintroduced as her babyface 'feel the glow' character, a gimmick she has used ever since.
