Tech's Day 13 in Black History: Naomi the new WWE Smack Down women's Champion

Congratulation to Naomi on winning the WWE Smackdown women's championship!

Naomi born Trinity McCray now Trinity Fatu (married to Johnathan Fatu aka Jimmy Uso of the twin tag team the uso) is not only a wwe wrestler, but she is also an actress, model, dance and singer!  She was even a dancer for the NBA's Orlando Magic.  

In 2009, Naomi started of in then WWE's developmental league FCW where she won the inaugural FCW Divas Championship.  The then went on to appear in the all female third season of NXT where she came in second to Kelly Kelly; yea she should have won, but you know WWE and Vince's love of blondes.... Anyway as with most of these context the runner ups usually find more success and Naomi made her main roster debut in 2012 as one half of the dancing group The Funkadactyls.  The group not only dance but also wrestled, but more success would come when in 2015 she teamed with her cousin in law Tamina Snuka and then newcomer Sasha Banks.

The Rear End :)

The last couple of years it seemed that Naomi has been overlooked with the new comers from NXT, Sasha and Ric Flairs daughter Charlotte both getting and feuding over the title before Naomi.  She did have a brief hiatus due to an injury and shooting a WWE film, but with her in ring work, her charisma, her feel the glow entrance, Naomi was well deserving of a push and title run.  Many may argue that she is in fact the most athletic on the roster. With her signature move the Rear End, no one should get up from; if you catch my drift 😍 Even another new comer from NXT, Alexa Bliss won the belt from another new comer Becky Lynch and Naomi finally got her chance, even pinning Alexa three times in non title or tag matches and at the Elimination PPV Naomi defeated her again winning the belt.  I was happy and surprised, because WWE logic says if the champ gets beat that many times before defending belt they are going to win.  

With that you can say that Naomi is the first African American Smackdown WWE Women's champion and the third woman to hold the title.  And pending no other title defenses she will get to defend the belt at Wrestlemania in her hometown of Orlando, Florida.  You can also see Naomi on the reality show Total Divas on E! and she will be in The Marine 5:  Battleground

Naomi's WWE.com BIO

As the second highest cause of whiplash behind car accidents, Naomi first turned heads as a dancer for the NBA's Orlando Magic and hip-hop stars like Flo Rida. These talents would take her around the world as Naomi performed everywhere from North Korea to Indonesia.
Despite all that success, Naomi's dance steps couldn’t satisfy her competitive spirit, which is how she found herself as a contestant on WWE NXT. Despite being eliminated in the final week of her season, Naomi soon launched into orbit around Planet Funk.
Accompanying Brodus Clay to the ring while grooving with fellow Diva Cameron, the athletic beauty used the canvas as her own personal dance floor. After the disintegration of the tag team of Clay and "Sweet T," or Tons of Funk, The Funkadactyls even landed on Total Divas, a reality show on E!.
Reality show bonafides aside, Naomi has had a series of remarkable runs as both fan-favorite and corner-cutting villain, doggedly pursuing the Divas Championship for the better part of a year and cementing her status as a ring general by heading up the attitude-filled Team B.A.D. of Tamina and Sasha Banks during the Divas Revolution.
But it wasn't until Naomi reinvented herself to compete on the SmackDown LIVE brand that she came face-to-face with her destiny. For it was there that she truly began to feel the Glow and where she stepped into the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view to capture her first SmackDown Women’s Championship from Alexa Bliss!
