What's with all the hate with Naomi? I believe that she is one of the most talented female superstars and deserves the SDL women's championship.
I really want to know, why do you most of you guys not want her as champion.

I'm feeling like people are actually warming up to her. She's always been really athletic, but it seems like this glow gimmick has made her more comfortable and she's figuring out how to be a compelling character.
Also, she was awful as a heel. She's way too naturally likable, and her trying to be a heel comes off like horrible acting.
Someone needs to teach her how to cut a natural sounding promo though. She sounds really nervous on the mic and that "Snatch ya bald" crap sounds really dumb.

If she wasn't married to Jimmy Uso, she would've been future endeavored years ago. Naomi is basically a female Apollo Crews. Athletic in the ring, but no personality whatsoever, with her character being "I smile a lot and do flips!"

I have no idea either. Naomi is athletic, has plenty of charisma, and dat ass.

I think she's decent. Great entrance too. Would rather Becky get that push though, but it is what it is.

Most of her offense, while athletic, is awful looking. She is a dreadful promo. She isn't terrible, but she isn't compelling at all either.

My problem was the same as Jinder. She wasn't doing anything (She was injured) and then suddenly she's put in the title picture and given the belt. It worked a little better at WM since there was actually some semblance of her having a purpose being there this time.

Im starting to warm up to her, but she still needs some work. Her offense is a little sloppy, those kicks she throws look horrible. She needs some work on the mic, but then again so does 80% of the roster, so ill give her a pass on that. Her entrance is pretty much the only thing interesting about her, but after that, there's nothing else to her that interesting me.

She's alright, gets a really bad rep on here tho. Smackdown's women division as a whole is a bit lost on me right now tbh

Shes athletic but that doesnt cross over into wrestling. Her ring work is average at best. She has poor mic skills. Her entrance is the only thing that gets a reaction. People confuse just being athletic with talented. If all you had to be was athletic Greg Louganis would be 4 time world champ.

It worked a little better at WM since there was actually some semblance of her having a purpose being there this time. Her situation is way different than Jinder. Jinder was losing squash matches literally a week before he became #1 contender. He hadn't won a match in forever. Naomi wasn't doing much, but with Total Divas they were giving her some wins here and there in those big tag matches. While not great, she was involved in some high profile things like Team BAD. Jinder was enhancement talent meant to get guys over. And to be honest, I think Jinder is decent and I wanted to give him a chance but that celebration last night put me to sleep. Once he started talking and kept losing his voice I lost interest and took a nap.

I'm personally just really not a fan of her at all. I think her entrance is the stupidest entrance in WWE history, and I really can't stand watching it. Unless I'm watching a PPV live, I skip it every time. It really doesn't appeal to me.
In terms of her in-ring work, that rapid kick combo she does just looks horrendous, and barely looks as though she's making any contact whatsoever. It just looks like she's lightly grazing them, at best. Wrestling moves are supposed to look as though they'd hurt. That combo looks like the most damage it could is create a slight breeze to mildly annoy her opponent.
Besides that, she really needs to stop using her ass as a weapon. I can't take any wrestler seriously who uses their ass as a weapon for a significant portion of their signature offense.

Can't stand her, least interesting female in all of wwe. Just because she's athletic and can move, doesn't mean she's good. Sloppy on nearly everything she does, especially those dreadful kicks. Wish she would just go away, and take Tamina with her.

She's a natural athlete who happens to be a bad wrestler, and I don't think she quite grasps the difference between believable offense and athletic offense. Her kicks are one of the worst looking moves in the entire company right now. She's passable on the microphone, but I cringe every time she uses the "snatch her bald" line.
The whole glow gimmick doesn't do anything for me, but people seem to like it, so, no complaints there.

I am sure if most internet fans had it, they would have Bayley vs. Becky vs. Sasha vs. Charlotte every week on every show.
I think Naomi is great. She makes an awesome baby face for the kids to get behind, and for Vince, it's all about marketing and less about how gifted they are.

Here is the problem with Naomi. She's sloppy, because she's not a natural wrestler. When Naomi is in the ring, it is like she is going through the motions of a choreographed gymnastic/dance routine, rather than wrestling an actual match against somebody. She is also very sloppy at times, and has a high potential to cause injury to those she works with.
Charlotte Flair, on the other hand, has amazing ring psychology, she understands the methodology behind "no wasted motion", and everything she does in the ring has a purpose.
Naomi is a dancer who's trying to wrestle. Beckly, Charlotte, Natalya....all more talented and more deserving of being Women's Champion.
