This Tuesday, Naomi had her moment at the premiere of the film, Queen of the Ring in the Big Apple, New York City, with her spouse, Jimmy Uso. This was despite the fact that Naomi was previously pulled from media meetings scheduled earlier in the week.
Staying true to her WWE character continuity, Naomi sported a neck brace, indicative of the injury she garnered from an attack by Jade Cargill during the 2025 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view showdown.
During this week’s episode of WWE NXT, a championship bout saw Shawn Spears seize the NXT North American Championship against Tony D’Angelo.
In a unique digital segment that followed the show, Spears ruminated on his win, recognizing that he employed D’Angelo’s injury to his advantage. D’Angelo was nursing a back injury from the match. Spears conveyed that his victory held multiple meanings for him. He stated,
“Really? You couldn’t let me have it, could you? Here I stand, the new North American Champion, and you can’t just give it to me. A year to the day since I returned, and you can’t just say, ‘Congratulations, you earned it.’ Exactly like everybody else over the course of 23 years, you can’t just give it to me, can you? Whether you like it or not, this happened. I am your new North American Champion. Love it. Learn to enjoy it. But a man is only as strong as the people behind him, and there is nothing more important on this planet than family. This symbolizes many things. It symbolizes that in a top star here in NXT. It means that I have ascended the ladder. What this also means is that everything I’ve been talking about, to Izzi Dame, to Niko Vance, to Brooks Jensen, is validated. It’s validated by this championship. It’s validated by me. Together, this is only the beginning.”
Spectators noted the presence of Cassie Lee in the crowd during the recent episode of WWE NXT.
As mentioned, Lee’s spouse, Shawn Spears, contended against Tony D’Angelo for the coveted North American Championship in NXT. Spears proved victorious, securing his first-ever title in WWE.
