• Naomi Jokes The Rock Helped Her Win Women’s World Title
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Drew McIntyre said the following about giving advice to young wrestlers in WWE: “It’s lucky I’m as good as I am or I might get lost in the shuffle, because I suggest to a lot of the talent backstage when they’re asking for advice, maybe change your last name to Fatu or something. You may get more opportunities.”
After Naomi’s Women’s World Championship victory at Evolution, a fan tweeted the following: “Damn… They did IYO dirty, to give another damn Fatu a title… This sucks.”
Naomi saw this tweet and replied: “And all it took was for me to make one call to The Rock hahahhahahhahahah”
Even Charlotte Flair dropped a laughing emoji under Naomi’s reply!

• Naomi Reveals Backstage Reaction To Women’s World Title Win
On the Evolution post show, Naomi discussed her Women’s World Championship victory via Money In The Bank cash-in during IYO SKY vs. Rhea Ripley. Naomi also addressed the use of the words ‘underrated,’ ‘underappreciated’ and ‘third wheel’ in her titantron: “It’s everything. Me returning, I wanted to do better, be better, become better, and I think this solidifies that and it proves that. I think it speaks volumes and that’s why so many are connecting with this journey that I’m on and where I’m at right now. I think whether it’s wrestling or real life, I think we all experience moments or times in our life where we don’t feel appreciated, we don’t feel loved, we don’t feel seen, we don’t feel valued and sometimes, you have to adjust. You can’t keep doing the same thing, expecting a different result.
Sometimes, you gotta stop being so nice and make people respect you and make people step to you properly and I think that’s what people resonate with. We’ve seen me over a decade be a genuine, loving, solid, good person, a good girl, a good character, good babyface, and I think everyone understands, I don’t care how good you are, everyone has a breaking point and sometimes, you gotta clock it! Check em! Treat them the way they treat you, and then you’ll get a little respect, and I think that’s where we at now.”
Naomi also revealed the backstage reaction to her title win from WWE stars: “Very, very emotional. Very emotional, very cool, very surreal. To go to the back and just feel the love, that’s what touches me the most and what I enjoy and love the most is the reactions, you know what I mean? And just seeing so many new faces and talent but also they’re like, ‘Oh, I been watching you since…’ we got a lot of NXT girls here. ‘I been watching you since Total Divas’ or, ‘I been watching you since NXT season three’ and just to see them get emotional and happy, it’s really cool. But it don’t matter (laughs). It don’t matter. Because they ain’t getting no title shots.”

• Becky Lynch Reacts To “Becky Hogan” Fan Sign At Evolution
Evolution 2 kicked off with the Triple Threat Match for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. After good back and forth action, Becky pinned Bayley to retain the Title. A “Becky Hogan” sign was visible as The Man was heading to the back after the match.
After the match, Becky posted a video on X to address the above fan sign. Here’s what Becky said:
“What did you expect? What did you expect? Evolution and I’m the definition of evolution. When I came up here 10 years ago, ain’t nobody thought that I was gonna be the defining moment in this business that I am. I am the Intercontinental Champion. I am the greatest to ever do it. It’s not just me saying it. You can call me ‘Becky Hogan.’ I ain’t Becky Hogan. I’m Becky freaking Lynch. And I’m going to keep doing this until there’s somebody better than me. But spoiler, there ain’t gonna be.”
Best to ever do it. #WWEEvolution pic.twitter.com/tQseCeC3ew
