Why Isn't Naomi in NJPW?

According to a report from Dave Meltzer in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Naomi is not yet in NJPW/Stardom due to NJPW needing to keep spending down. According to Dave, the pressure is on from Bushiroad to not cool the spending on wrestling. It makes sense considering, her former tag team partner, Mercedes Monè/Sasha Banks commanded a lot of money.

The news has left fans wondering about Naomi’s future in wrestling. Will she return to WWE, or perhaps sign with another major promotion like AEW? There are many factors to consider when weighing the possibilities.

Firstly, Naomi is an established name in WWE and has a strong following among fans. She has held multiple championships and has been a popular presence on WWE programming for years. A return to WWE could provide her with new opportunities, storylines, and potentially another championship reign.

On the other hand, AEW has been making waves in the wrestling world since its inception. The promotion has already signed several former WWE stars and has been gaining momentum with fans. Naomi could potentially be a valuable addition to their roster and could help solidify their women's division.

However, with the news of financial pressure within Bushiroad's wrestling division, it remains to be seen if Naomi will make the move to NJPW/Stardom. It is possible that she may have to wait for the right opportunity to present itself before making a decision.

Regardless of where Naomi ends up, her talent and popularity make her a valuable asset to any promotion. Her future in wrestling is uncertain at this time, but fans are eagerly waiting to see where she lands next.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
