Former Women’s World Champion and beloved WWE Superstar Naomi has officially revealed her pregnancy on social media, sharing the news with fans just weeks after stepping away from the ring to focus on her health and family. The reveal, which included a baby bump photo and heartfelt message to fans, marks a major life milestone for the couple—Naomi (real name Trinity Fatu) and her husband, Jimmy Uso (real name Jonathan Fatu), who have been two of wrestling’s most recognizable names for over a decade.
Naomi’s absence from WWE programming had already sparked fan speculation, especially after she was pulled from scheduled events last month due to being medically unavailable[1]. With this full-circle moment, both WWE Universe members and backstage personnel are celebrating the news—and reflecting on what it means for her current character arc and future in the business.
The Announcement Heard Around the Wrestling World
Naomi’s announcement came in August 2025 during a memorable segment on WWE Raw, where she relinquished the Women’s World Championship after revealing her pregnancy live on air[1][2]. The moment, described by industry observers as one of the most impactful promos of the year, was marked by her signature charisma and a deft handling of her complicated heel persona[1]. Unlike previous champions in similar situations, Naomi’s baby news was delivered not as a traditional face (fan favorite), but as a villain—a creative challenge that both she and WWE’s writing team navigated with nuance and emotion.
“Most people in her spot would get an immediate babyface turn, but Naomi managed to keep her edge and still let the fans in emotionally,” a WWE insider told Wrestling Inc. “That’s not easy to pull off, but she did. It’s one reason you don’t see this kind of announcement often—especially not from a heel.”
The in-ring segment saw Naomi confront WWE official Adam Pearce, delivering a passionate and fiery speech that drew cheers and chants from the crowd. “YEAH. YEAH. MY HORMONES ARE JUMPING LIKE A DISCO,” she quipped, mixing humor with her trademark defiance before telling Pearce—and the world—that she was not relinquishing the title out of weakness, but on her own terms[3].
Social Media Reveal and Fan Reaction
Naomi’s Instagram post, which featured a striking photo of her baby bump and a touching caption, quickly went viral within wrestling circles. The image, accompanied by a message thanking fans for their support, underscored the personal joy she and Jimmy Uso are experiencing. Husband Jimmy Uso, himself a WWE Superstar, shared the news on his own social channels, and family friends from across the wrestling industry posted well wishes and congratulations.
The fan response has been overwhelmingly positive, with trending hashtags and supportive messages flooding platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. Longtime followers of Naomi’s journey—from her debut and early accolades to her multiple championship runs and Royal Rumble appearances—celebrated the news as a fitting new chapter for one of WWE’s most dynamic performers.
Impact on WWE Storylines and the Women’s Division
Naomi’s departure from the Women’s World Championship scene leaves a noticeable void in the division. Her latest run had seen her at her most compelling, leaning into a cocky, confident heel character that revitalized her connection with fans after years of stops and starts[1]. With her forced absence, WWE now faces a creative challenge: building up a successor for the title and maintaining momentum in the women’s division during what is typically a busy fall programming schedule.
A source close to WWE creative told Wrestling Inc. that the company is considering both established and surprise contenders for the vacated belt, and that the team is determined to honor Naomi’s legacy while moving the division forward. “There’s always a silver lining,” the source said. “Sometimes these breaks create opportunities for new stars to step up, and that’s what we’re looking at right now.”
Meanwhile, WWE’s on-screen acknowledgment and promotion of Naomi’s real-life pregnancy is a notable step for the company, which has historically wrestled with how to address real-world pregnancies in storylines. The approach this time—blending reality and fiction while respecting a performer’s privacy and safety—has been praised by talent and fans alike.
What’s Next for Naomi and Jimmy Uso?
With the couple expecting their first child, questions are now turning to Naomi’s future in wrestling. While she is expected to remain a part of WWE’s extended family, a lengthy maternity leave will likely follow. This is standard for WWE performers, who typically take several months away before returning to television, training, and the road.
A WWE official speaking anonymously told Wrestling Inc. that Naomi has already signaled her intent to return to the ring when ready. “She loves this business and she’s not done yet,” the source said. “When she comes back, it’ll be a big deal, and we’ll be ready for her.”
In the meantime, both Naomi and Jimmy Uso are balancing excitement for their expanding family with the demands of their respective careers. The couple, long admired for their professionalism and resilience, have always managed to navigate the pressures of WWE life with grace—both as individuals and as a team.
A New Era for Naomi
Naomi’s WWE journey has seen her evolve from an athlete with untapped charisma to one of the most respected female performers in the company. Her accolades include multiple championships, viral moments, and a reputation as one of wrestling’s most innovative and athletic competitors. Her ability to pivot creatively—such as transitioning from a beloved babyface to a compelling heel—has only deepened her legacy.
As she embarks on this new chapter outside the ring, Naomi leaves behind an energized fan base that’s eager to see what’s next, both in her family life and, eventually, her in-ring future.
Conclusion
Naomi’s pregnancy announcement and subsequent social media reveal have set the wrestling world abuzz, marking a major moment for WWE storytelling, women’s wrestling, and the real lives of its stars. The news highlights both the evolving culture of WWE and the enduring connection between its athletes and fans.
As the company pivots in her absence and the fans celebrate, one thing is clear: Naomi’s star power, both as a competitor and a public figure, remains undiminished. The future, both as a mother and a WWE Superstar, looks bright for one of the industry’s most beloved talents.
