Former WWE Star Naomi made her Impact Wrestling debut earlier this year under the ring name of Trinity. She was a huge name in WWE and she had been a former two times Women’s World Champion in WWE. She was holding the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship along with Sasha Banks before leaving WWE last year.
Naomi had an amazing future in WWE and she was definitely one of the biggest prospects of the promotion. There were a lot of rumours following her WWE departure. Rumours also suggested that she might return to WWE and would bury the hatchet. But she decided to go to Impact Wrestling.
Trinity’s Knockouts Championship Impact: Former WWE Star Emphasizes Her Potential to Transform IMPACT
She had been treated as a top star of Impact Wrestling ever since joining the promotion. At the upcoming Impact Slammiversary pay per view event, she would challenge Deonna Purrazzo for the Impact Knockouts Champioship. Deonna Purrazzo herself shared acknowledgement for Trinity and said she could make a huge difference in the Knockouts division if she wins at Slammiversary. Speaking with Busted Open Radio, she said;
“I don’t think as a champion you ever go in wanting to lose, but yes, I think that the division is bigger than just myself. We have a lot of women who work really hard, and [they] also want to carry this division to new heights. If Trinity being the champion, if she can get the best of me and defeat me, does that for our company, then I can’t complain about that.
Trinity Would Challenge Deonna Purrazzo At Impact Slammiversary For The Impact Knockouts Championship
“I think I’ve gotten to a point at IMPACT where, whether I’m champion or not — I am a three-time champion. So I’ve lost it twice at this point. Whether I’m champion or not, I tend to just keep my role as one of the faces of our company.
“I’m really grateful for that, and if having a champion who has done a lot more than me is bigger, has a bigger platform than me, brings more eyes to our product, and has more people watching every week, has more people talking about it than me being champion doesn’t matter. You know, we want growth. We want to continue to evolve. If Trinity does that, not just Trinity, if anyone did that, I can’t be upset at the end of the day. That’s best for business.”
Naomi was a top star in WWE as long as she was active and she is treated as one of the biggest stars of Impact Wrestling as well. She is a big favourite to win the Impact Knockouts Championship this Saturday at Impact Slammiversary. She is an excellent addition in the Impact Knockouts roster.
