Adding some glow endured Naomi to the WWE Universe...

It took eight years of hard work, but 2017 was definitely the year of the glow for Naomi. From being a Funkadactyl to WWE SmackDown Women's Champion, the road to stardom was a long one for Naomi.

At the time of the WWE Draft in July of 2016, she was showing promise as a competitor in the women's division, but was easily lost in the shuffle during the Women's Revolution. SmackDown saw the promise and took Naomi in the eight round as the 39th overall pick.

At Elimination Chamber this past February, Naomi won her first title when she captured the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship. In total, she has won the title twice, and she is only one of two women to have won that title more than once (Alexa Bliss is the other).

The talent was always there for Naomi, and adding a little flair with her glowing entrance gained her massive popularity with the WWE Universe. There is no doubt there will be more titles in Naomi's future.
