The current speculation is that Naomi will be returning be it at Royal Rumble or afterward and will be sent to the SmackDown brand as The Usos have also recently joined the blue brand.
Naomi has not competed in a match since late July 2019. That last TV appearance came during the last week of July via a win over Sarah Logan on WWE Main Event show. Fans were in doubt what could be the exact reason behind her absence from TV as she noted in late September that she had been out of action due to health and family issues of her own.
