Report: Naomi's WWE Comeback Not Imminent But Still Expected

Naomi has not wrestled in WWE for over a year, and a new report says her return is not imminent but is still expected relatively soon. WWE had internally anticipated her comeback before the end of 2026 as of August. Speculation has grown because of the Bloodline's feud with 946 and her marriage to Jimmy Uso.
Naomi, a former WWE world champion, has been absent from in-ring competition for more than a year. She gave birth earlier in 2026, and Fightful Select reports that while no immediate comeback is being discussed internally, her return is still viewed as likely in the near future.
In August, WWE sources reportedly expected her back before 2026 ended, though later updates are unclear. Fan speculation increased after Jaida Parker joined 946 on the main roster, intensifying the group's feud with The Bloodline. Naomi's marriage to Jimmy Uso makes her a natural candidate to oppose Parker.
Naomi's possible return could affect WWE fans and the wider wrestling community by reshaping the Bloodline-946 storyline and adding a familiar star to the women's division. It may also draw attention to postpartum athletes returning to demanding performance schedules. Because her absence has been private, any comeback could renew discussion about how much personal health information public figures choose to share.
