Naomi has succeeded in making history by winning this year’s Women’s Money in the Bank contract. The Glow entered the bout determined to get the briefcase and seize her opportunity. The 38-year-old former TNA star astonished the world with a spectacular triumph despite the intense competition and lack of allies in the ring.
What makes this moment historic is that Naomi is now the first Black female Superstar in WWE history to have ever won the Money in the Bank briefcase. Before her, Big E held a similar distinction as the only Black male performer to win the briefcase in his division. The former Women’s Champion was so filled with joy and gratitude for this historic accomplishment that she even broke character during her post-match interview.
Naomi stated at the Money in the Bank post-show that she had dedicated her career to pursuing opportunities like this. But she didn’t hide her frustration, saying that it was unfortunate she hadn’t received the recognition she deserved sooner. The Glow boldly warned WWE champions Tiffany Stratton and Iyo Sky in her rage-filled voice.
She made it clear that they both should be on high alert because she is coming for them all. Without a doubt, Naomi’s win has given the SmackDown women’s division fresh energy. In the upcoming weeks, it wouldn’t be surprising if the former TNA star decided to cash in her contract, possibly targeting the Buff Barbie. There is no doubt that it will be intriguing to watch what WWE has in store for her in the future.
