WWE Superstar Naomi Reveals She Underwent Unexpected Surgery

WWE Superstar Naomi (Trinity Fatu) hasn’t wrestled a match on WWE television since the beginning of August, but there’s been a good reason for her absence. The former SmackDown Women’s Champion took to Instagram on Thursday and posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed, writing “In the midst of Hurrican Sally and Covid I also underwent an unexpected 6 hr surgery to finally remove a massive fibroid that’s caused me severe anemia fatigue, horrible abdominal pains and more problems I don’t even want to mention over the past year and a half…”

“I’m recovering well, I’m relieved and already feeling so much better so family, friends and fans don’t worry I’m okay. Lol I miss ya,” she added.

She then responded to a fan on Twitter by saying she’ll return to television as soon as possible. Just before he absence, the former champ successfully pinned SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley during a televised match.

The Florida native took a personal hiatus away from WWE for a large chunk of 2019. She returned back in January at the Women’s Royal Rumble. Since returning she has tried and failed on a few occasions to get the SmackDown women’s title away from Bayley.
