Before I go any further, understand this is me questioning the booking team rather than Naomis talents, as I actually do think Naomi has solid star power. However since she became two-time womens champ at Mania, what has she done to improve the division? So far she's defended her title a few times against Lana of all people, been in a few 6 man tags, and tonight is not even competing on the card. Is she injured still from Elimination Chamber or something?

YYYYEEESSSSS.
When they take nearly the entire Smackdown women's roster and have matches with all them in them at once and usually leave you out and focus on them as a whole that's a pretty good sign you stink on ice.

I am going to really try my hardest not to bash Naomi here, but she isn't very interesting as champion. Like take Lesnar for example, even when he is champion and doesn't compete at PPVs and there are #1 contenders matches on those cards (i.e.extreme rules), those matches are really captivating. You want to see who's going to face Lesnar, and the match will feel like a big deal. With Naomi, that's just not the case. I for one don't really care about tonight's match, storyline wise, as I don't really at excited at the thought of a Naomi match.

Naomi is useless in her current spot in general. She's a C level talent in an A level spot. The only reason Naomi is where she is now is because she's a part of the A'noai family. She'd be on the same level as Dana Brooke, Emma, Natalya, Tamina, and Lana if she wasn't.

Yeah, his title reign is no great at all. This is more the booking teams fault than Naomis fault, then again, the booking team on Smackdown have a hard time booking more than half their roster.

Naomi doesn't feel like a champion. The title feels like an accessory.

I felt Naomi won the title too early the first time. Then she had to vacate it and I immediately lost interest when she won it again in a confusing match. I think it's because I still have no idea what it means to "Feel The Glow". Like what the does that mean? Am I supposed to start popping pills? If so which ones? And in the few matches she's defended it either against Charlotte or Lana it looks like she's just doing a job, not selling the importance of a title match.

This was pretty useless. Agreed, but we also only had to suffer through that for about 3 days.

The entire direction of the women's division is happening away from her. The main focus has really been about Becky, Charlotte and Carmella with Ellsworth. Even the stuff with Lana has made Naomi look bad, and by that I mean she's made herself look bad.
She sucks. Many have been given less and made more out of it. She's got a stupid gimmick, she can't wrestle, and creative is just spinning their tires until they can get Carmella in the perfect spot to put her over. I honestly think the only reason Naomi still has the title is because they don't want either of Becky or Charlotte to take the cash-in loss.

I honestly find that the A'noai family is overrated on here because people seem to think that if your a member then your destined for great things which is rubbish because look at how many of them haven't made it big over the years. I don't ever remember Deuce or Manu winning the World title. Also the reason for Naomi's push is simple it's because of the Glow gimmick. Without it she would be a jobber.

Whenever I hear the name Naomi, the only word I think of is "useless."

I fully expect that they're dragging out Becky winning the title, just to have Carmella cash-in on her when she finally does.

I fully expect that they're dragging out Becky winning the title, just to have Carmella cash-in on her when she finally does. Seems like too much work. Then they have to give someone like Natty or Lana a token heel title run, have Becky run that person down, and then have Carmella cash-in. Seems easier just to have Naomi beat Tamina or Lana and then get double stomped after the match. Then out comes Carmella. If they do the babyface vs babyface match then I totally agree with you. I just don't see them going that way. I think there stands a pretty good chance Carmella gets cheered if she cashes in on Naomi depending on the city though. So that's where I see the Becky logic because people would definitely boo Carmella.

At least Simone Biles didn't help her win a battle royal a month before winning it.

If for no other reason than every other potential heel opponent for Naomi terrifies me for the potential to bore someone to death. If they try to extend this reign by having Naomi/Tamina be a thing... *shudders*

Once Carmella cashes in, Naomi will be back in the spot she was before if not worse which I'm fine with. She's a horrible champion and the women's division is continuing without her when she should be the main focus because she's the champion.
