Naomi’s WWE return may finally be drawing closer.
The former Women’s World Champion has been away from WWE television for more than a year following her pregnancy and the birth of her first child with Jimmy Uso. While fans have continued to speculate about when she might return, a new report suggests WWE is actively preparing for her comeback.
According to False Finish, WWE is currently making plans for Naomi to return to television in the near future. No timetable or creative plans were revealed, but the report indicates that her lengthy absence could soon be coming to an end.
“WWE is currently preparing for a Naomi return in the near future.”
While nothing has been confirmed regarding where Naomi would fit into current storylines, one possibility could be WWE’s ongoing feud involving The Bloodline and 946.
The latest development in that storyline came during Monday night’s episode of WWE RAW, which featured a surprise appearance by Jaida Parker.
Early in the show, cameras showed a vehicle arriving backstage. Believing members of 946 had arrived at the arena, Jacob Fatu and The Usos rushed to intercept them.
Instead, Jaida Parker stepped out of the vehicle and claimed she was simply there to meet with RAW General Manager Adam Pearce before walking away.
That explanation turned out to be misleading.
During the closing moments of RAW, Parker was revealed as the person driving the vehicle that struck Fatu in the arena parking garage. After initially suggesting the incident was an accident, she made her allegiance clear by repeating 946’s signature phrase:
“Ain’t nobody safe!”
Parker previously aligned with Bronco Nima and Lucien Price as part of the Out The Mud faction in NXT before quietly moving away from the group in late 2024.
Naomi’s potential involvement at this time is just speculation, but would make sense given her long-standing connection to The Bloodline. She is married to Jimmy Uso in real life and has frequently been associated with the Anoa’i wrestling family throughout her WWE career. While she has rarely been directly involved in Bloodline storylines, her ties to Jimmy, Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa, and other members of the family could make her a natural fit if WWE decides to incorporate her into the ongoing rivalry between The Bloodline and 946.

Newly crowned WWE Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer to appear
In a rare occurrence, a WWE world title has changed hands at a live event. Stephanie Vaquer is once again the WWE Women’s World Champion.
In a surprising title change that took place away from television, Vaquer defeated Liv Morgan at a WWE live event in Santiago, Chile on Saturday, September 12. The championship bout was especially significant for Vaquer as it took place in front of her home country crowd, with Becky Lynch serving as the special guest referee.
Morgan appeared to have the match won after connecting with Oblivion and covering Vaquer for the pinfall. However, Lynch refused to complete the three-count and instead directed a pair of middle fingers toward the champion, drawing a strong reaction from the audience.
An angry Morgan then turned her attention to Lynch, but the distraction proved costly. Vaquer capitalized with a superkick before delivering her SVB finisher. She followed up with the Vaquer Inferno, a corkscrew moonsault, to score the victory and capture the WWE Women’s World Championship.
The win marks Vaquer’s second reign with the title. Her previous championship run lasted seven months before Morgan defeated her at WrestleMania 42 in April 2026. Morgan had successfully retained the championship against Vaquer in a rematch on Raw just days earlier.
Following the title victory, Vaquer celebrated with the Santiago crowd as fellow WWE stars Sol Ruca, IYO SKY, and Bayley joined her at ringside. SKY lifted the new champion onto her shoulders while Bayley later shared a backstage photo featuring the Chilean flag, reflecting on the special moment.
Morgan’s latest reign comes to an end after 147 days as champion. WWE has not yet announced whether she will receive an immediate rematch for the title.
The championship change is notable given how rarely WWE world titles switch hands at non-televised live events, making Vaquer’s homecoming victory one of the most memorable moments of the year.
Bayley’s WWE future has become the subject of conflicting reports following her surprise return on this week’s episode of WWE Raw.
The former Women’s Champion made her first appearance since July by interfering in Lyra Valkyria’s attempt to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, immediately reigniting their ongoing rivalry. Her return led many fans to believe recent speculation surrounding her WWE contract had been settled.
However, reports regarding her status with the company are telling two very different stories.
According to Dave Meltzer on a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Bayley has already agreed to a new deal with WWE.
“She signed a new deal,” Meltzer stated while discussing Bayley’s return.
That report was later challenged by PWInsider Elite, which described Meltzer’s claim as inaccurate. According to PWInsider’s sources, Bayley has not signed a new contract and there have reportedly been no recent negotiations between the two sides.
The report further noted that Bayley’s current WWE deal still has significant time remaining, making immediate contract talks unnecessary. Sources also disputed any suggestion that Bayley’s return to television was contingent upon signing a new agreement.
While questions remain regarding the exact details of her contractual situation, there appears to be no uncertainty about WWE’s plans for Bayley on-screen.
Her return immediately resumed her feud with Valkyria, the former tag team partner who turned on Bayley several months ago. The rivalry previously led to a match at Saturday Night’s Main Event in July, where Valkyria picked up the victory.
At the time, many viewed the loss as a potential write-off should Bayley decide not to remain with WWE. Instead, her return suggests the storyline is far from over.
Valkyria has seen limited action on Raw since their previous encounter, with this week’s Money in the Bank qualifying match marking only her second match on the brand since defeating Bayley.
For now, Bayley is back on WWE television, but whether she has already signed a new contract remains unclear as conflicting reports continue to emerge.
