Naomi Becomes 2nd Pregnant Woman To Win WWE Title, Who Was The First?
Naomi recently announced her pregnancy on WWE RAW.
After winning the Women’s Money in the Bank briefcase earlier this year, Naomi cashed in during IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley’s Women’s World Championship match at Evolution last July to capture the title. The 37-year-old later defended the title against The Genius of the Sky and The Eradicator in a huge Triple Threat at SummerSlam.
While Naomi was scheduled to fight SKY for the title again on RAW last week, WWE canceled the match due to the champion not being cleared to compete.
Last Monday, The Glow addressed the fans on the red brand, revealing that she was pregnant. She later appeared alongside her husband on Stephanie McMahon’s podcast, What’s Your Story? With Steph McMahon, to reveal more details about her pregnancy.
The WWE veteran disclosed that she was 7 weeks into her pregnancy, meaning she wrestled at Evolution and won the Women’s World Championship while expecting a child.

Naomi Isn’t The First Pregnant Woman To Win A Title In WWE
On the July 29, 2019, episode of Monday Night RAW, Mike Kanellis pinned R-Truth to capture the 24/7 Championship. The 40-year-old then fled backstage while chased by several superstars. As these wrestlers gathered outside the WWE officials’ locker room, where he had locked himself in, his unwell pregnant wife, Maria Kanellis, demanded they clear out as she needed to see her husband.
After demanding that he let her in, Maria ordered her husband to lie down on his back so she could pin him so her “unborn child has a champion as a parent.” As he complied, the former Diva Search participant put her foot on her husband’s chest for the 1,2,3, to become the first-ever pregnant WWE champion.
Later on the same show, Mike pinned his wife as he hugged her while on the examination table during her OB-GYN appointment to recapture the title.
Like Naomi, Maria Kanellis is also currently pregnant. Last June, the former WWE Superstar announced that she and her husband were expecting their third child.
