WWE Women's World Champion Naomi has a massive match coming up at SummerSlam, where she will be facing Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. According to Hall of Famer Teddy Long, Naomi is likely to retain her belt.

Naomi has had a stellar run in the last few months, winning the Money in the Bank contract and eventually the Women's World Title. Her heel turn has been especially interesting to watch, and even veteran journalist Bill Apter is very invested in her future.

Speaking on The Wrestling Time Machine hosted by Mac Davis, Teddy Long had the following to say about Naomi's upcoming SummerSlam match:

"I kinda agree with both of you guys. All three of these women are certainly tough competitors. I mean, they are gonna give you your money's worth, and this is gonna be one hell of a match at SummerSlam. I would like to see Naomi retain, you know what I mean. But you know, in this day and age, you never know what may happen, but like you guys, I would like to see Naomi hold onto it." [2:14 onwards]

Bill Apter was very impressed with Naomi's character in WWE

Naomi has been displaying an increasingly volatile character as part of her heel turn, which has impressed Bill Apter.

Speaking on an episode of The Wrestling Time Machine, the veteran journalist had the following to say regarding Naomi's feud with Jade Cargill in WWE:

"You can feel the heat. Just, Naomi's gone completely psychotic. She is a psycho in the ring, and I love what she's doing. Jade Cargill is doing absolutely great. I think it's gonna be a thrown-out match. It's not gonna be the end of the feud here. I they are gonna go crazy on each other." [3:48 onwards]

A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.

Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.

If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.

Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
