Earlier this month, it was reported that Trinity Fatu, fka Naomi, was set to become a free agent soon. And when she lost her Impact Knockouts World title at TNA Hard to Kill against Jordynne Grace, it was pretty much evident that the rumors were indeed true. Putting the final nail in the coffin, Roman Reigns‘ close relative bid an emotional farewell to TNA last night at the tapings in Orlando.

She stood alongside Jordynne Grace and addressed the fans out there. Naomi’s gloomy cadence did suggest how difficult it was for her to come up with some words. She said that joining Total Nonstop Action has been life-changing for her. Moreover, the former SmackDown Women’s Champion lauded the entire women’s division, with newly-crowned champ Grace being the apogee for now.

Trinity capped off her speech by asking the fans that whenever they think of TNA, she wants them to remember her, Trin-TNA. With that being said, an obvious question pops up in mind: What’s next for her? Well, as reported by Fightful Select, Naomi is expected to return to WWE, and it appears like she’s not far from coming back home.

Considering that the Royal Rumble is next weekend, it should not catch fans off guard if Naomi embellishes Tropicana Field with her flamboyance. Apart from that, she could align herself with the Roman Reigns-led Bloodline. And why so?

There have been previous pitches to include the 36-year-old in the same stable as her husband, Jimmy Uso. However, things didn’t sail that smoothly under Vince McMahon‘s regime. But with Triple H calling the shots now, he may take that route.

How is this year’s Royal Rumble is shaping up?

For what it’s worth, this year’s Royal Rumble has massive potential. It could be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, Royal Rumble matches ever. Going by the betting odds, CM Punk and Bayley are the ones who’re destined to book their respective berths for WrestleMania 40.

Also, one of the few things that the fans might be grateful for is that WWE has not announced a ton of Rumble match participants beforehand. As of now, only 6 men and 4 women have declared their participation. That leaves a wide array of superstars under the wraps.

Apart from the two traditional matches, Logan Paul will defend his United States title against Kevin Owens. And Roman Reigns finds himself in a fatal 4-way match against Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and LA Knight for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
