Naomi’s close friend, Natalya, has finally addressed the WWE Women’s World Champions’ confusing situation.

Naomi has been on the rise in the past few months after turning heel. Although she lost to Jade Cargill at Evolution, she left the premium live event with the Women’s World Championship after cashing in during Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY’s match.

The three superstars battled for the title again at SummerSlam, but Naomi again succeeded in escaping with the championship.

Last Monday on RAW, the 37-year-old champion was scheduled to defend her title against SKY. However, the match was scrapped as the Stamford-based company issued a statement, explaining that Naomi was not cleared to compete.

Since then, Naomi’s future has been the subject of speculation, with some even suggesting she might be pregnant, while reports claim she could be out for an extended period.

Natalya Feels Something Serious Is Going On With Naomi Ahead Of WWE RAW Appearance

Last night on SmackDown, it was announced that Naomi would appear on RAW this Monday to address the WWE Universe. Meanwhile, Natalya, one of the champion’s real-life closest friends, addressed the situation on the Busted Open Radio.

The WWE veteran pointed out that she feels something serious is going on with the 37-year-old. However, she emphasized that it is private and personal, stating that Naomi would talk about it when she’s ready to do so.

Especially for the locker room, it’s one of those things that somebody will know what’s going on. But in this situation, Naomi’s a really close friend of mine, 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 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 … I feel like she’s so beyond grateful for it, so whatever is going on right now, there’s a part of me that wants to be like, ‘Hey, [Naomi], what’s going on? Tell me, give me the scoop.’ But the other part of me is like sometimes when people are going through something or they’re dealing with an injury or some extenuating situation, I feel like she will talk about it when she’s ready to talk about it.
