Jimmy and Naomi are a real-life couple right now, but during the early days of the Glow's career, Big Jim saved her from losing her job. The reigning Women's World Champion shared this incident by revealing how she was about to leave the Performance Center without helping break down the ring.

Jimmy pulled her aside and advised her not to leave like this, as it would feel rude and disrespectful. Naomi also affirmed that she felt embarrassed about this, as people were talking about it the next day.

Before making her arrival in the squared circle, the Glow was a professional dancer and a cheerleader for the NBA's Orlando Magic. She had even performed at the 2009 Super Bowl halftime show.

This shows that the Women's World Champion has always been fond of dancing. It is evident from her entrance as a babyface star when she used to dance on the entrance ramp.


#2. The Glow was her gimmick idea

Naomi's use of neon lights in her gimmick was her own idea, pitched to former Chairman Vince McMahon. In an interview with TV Insider, the real-life Bloodline member confirmed that she went to higher-ups with the idea of the Glow gimmick.
