Naomi (Trinity Fatu) Set To Make In-Ring Return This Friday, But Not On WWE SmackDown

As per a report by PWInsider, Trinity Fatu (Naomi) will make her debut in IMPACT Wrestling this Friday. As per the report (h/t to WrestlingNews.co), it has been confirmed that this is not a one-night appearance and that Trinity will be working towards a pay-per-view match with a full program as part of the buildup.

The debut will take place this Friday, bringing some closure to speculation that Fatu was training for a return to wrestling, but it wasn't clear exactly where she would be returning to. There was talk of a potential WWE return, but there are also reports the company is in the midst of a hiring freeze. There hadn't been much talk in the way of Naomi to AEW and other reports had suggested NJPW considered hiring her, but ultimately chose not to as a way to save money -- a report Fatu seemed to deny on social media.

Depending on how long her stay is with IMPACT Wrestling, this is a big get for the promotion. They've long wanted to improve their women's division and Fatu is widely regarded as one of the most naturally athletic female wrestlers in the world. Critics of WWE suggested they never gave her a chance and she's going to get an opportunity to prove her worth as it would be expected that IMPACT will heavily push her upon arrival.

Fatu Should Do Well And Deserves Her Shot

Fatu has been a part of the wrestling world on the main stage since 2009. She initially competed in the developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), before making her debut with WWE as part of a group called The Funkadactyls. Initially a dancer for Brodus Clay, Naomi began to compete as a singles wrestler and eventually won her first championship in WWE in 2015, when she defeated Nikki Bella to become the WWE Divas Champion.

Well-known for her athletic ability, and high-flying moves, she brought The Glow to WWE and will potentially do the same for IMPACT.
