SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, March 7th 2025: Cody Rhodes returns to SmackDown after John Cena's vicious betrayal

Team Bad Naomi was honestly pretty good. So something like that with her crash out character on top would be fun.

It’s like when Randy Orton attacked Edge and said “I did it for you”

 

[R-Troop]

I’m just personally happy that baby face generic glow Naomi is over with. I haven’t liked that character for like 7 years however long it’s been since she debuted that character.

It was fine at the beginning, but wore out its welcome before she left. Then she came back after 12+ months away and she's the exact same thing. This is a MUCH needed change. Hopefully with new music too

Was Naomi ever a heel in her career?

Most of the feud was PCB vs Team Bella if I remember correctly

She was a heel like six months to a year that she was tagging with Sasha Banks just before she turned baby face that’s when she actually debuted the glow character was when she stopped being heel in that run.

 

[DameDollar]

Ahhh gotcha

 

[Ricky Smarks]

good lord that was ten years ago.

Exactly. This is why I’ve asked for Naomi being the one over what most people seem to have been hoping for in it being Bianca because I’ve been waiting a lot longer than anyone has been for Bianca to turn. I’ve needed Naomi to turn. It’s gotten old.

[Shane]

We getting a jade/naomi singles match at Mania?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

They were only that for like one week until somebody actually googled it lol but I would’ve just stuck with it because it’s so much better than PCB lol
