Could Naomi Make Her WWE Return At Survivor Series: WarGames?

WWE’s Survivor Series: WarGames is set for November 28, and speculation is building that it could be the night Naomi finally comes back. The former Women’s World Champion hasn’t been seen since vacating that title last year after the August 18 episode of Raw, a departure tied to her real-life pregnancy. More than a year later, the timing and storyline pieces appear to be lining up for a dramatic comeback.

The biggest connective thread is family. Naomi is married to Jimmy Uso and, through the Anoaʻi lineage, is intertwined with The Bloodline. With Roman Reigns, the Usos and Solo Sikoa currently locked in an escalating war with The 946 — Jacob Fatu’s faction, which recently added Jaida Parker to its ranks — there’s an obvious opening for Naomi to insert herself into the conflict in a personal, high-stakes way rather than simply resuming old rivalries.

Rather than a straightforward first match back against Parker, the more compelling route would see WarGames itself become the stage. If The Bloodline and The 946 do collide inside the structure at the pay-per-view, having Parker step outside her role to brutally target Jimmy Uso — mirroring the violent, car-fueled debut that introduced her to the main roster — would set up a natural moment for Naomi to storm in, defend her husband and reintroduce herself as a threat. It would give Naomi’s return real emotional and physical stakes instead of just checking a nostalgia box.

There’s also unfinished business on the championship side. Naomi vacated the Women’s World Championship rather than losing it, and Liv Morgan — now in her fourth reign — currently holds the belt. Morgan has carried herself with a brash confidence as champion, and a surprise appearance from a returning former titleholder could be exactly the kind of challenge that rattles that swagger. If the title is defended at WarGames, the Raw that follows the next night would be a logical spot for Naomi to publicly stake her claim to a rematch.

Naomi’s road back to this moment has been anything but ordinary. She left WWE in early 2023 alongside Sasha Banks in a high-profile walkout, while Banks later resurfaced in AEW as Mercedes Moné. Naomi, meanwhile, landed in TNA (then Impact Wrestling), competing as Trinity and capturing the Knockouts World Championship before making her way back to WWE at the 2024 Royal Rumble. That return birthed her “Proceed with Caution” persona — a sharper, more aggressive version of Naomi best remembered for her attack on Jade Cargill — though she’d only begun to show the full range of that character before stepping away.

If WWE leans into that edge and ties it directly to the Bloodline conflict, Naomi’s comeback could carry far more weight than a typical surprise return. Whether WWE actually pulls the trigger at WarGames remains to be seen, but the ingredients — a red-hot Bloodline storyline, an available title picture, and a character left with more to prove — are all sitting right there waiting to be used.
