The 37-year-old won the Women's World Championship at the Evolution Premium Live Event after successfully cashing in her Money in the Bank contract during the main event of the recently concluded all-women's PLE. Interestingly, IYO SKY was in action against Rhea Ripley, but neither one of them was able to walk out as champion.

Speaking on a recent edition of Rikishi Fatu – Off The Top, the Hall of Famer stated that he wanted WWE to throw a celebration in honor of Naomi when she eventually retires from the business.

"My thing is just this — and I'm going to throw it out there. When that time comes, and when it does come and it will come that I can only ask WWE or whoever that's going to put this celebration together, to be able to, you know, respect my daughter's wishes, and that's all I can [ask for]. What she wants is what I want, and everybody's happy," said Rikishi. [H/T: Wrestling Inc]

And every time I see [them], 'When are you gonna bring me a grandson or granddaughter?' So, let's hope. Hopefully, you know that happens. Hopefully, you know, they kind of, you know, venture out to other things, and entertainment. Besides professional wrestling, they're both great actors, they're in good shape, you know, they definitely got a lot of... they're charismatic. So, I think, you know, Hollywood could be calling their names."
