Naomi faced Bayley for the women's championship, and Tiff Stratton interfered to cause a no-contest. Stratton and Candice LeRae cost her the title in a match vs. Nia Jax. It isn't out of the realm to expect your friends to see this shyt happening and make sure it stays one on one, whether you win or lose, especially when you ALWAYS pull up to help Bianca and Jade when they need it.

Naomi is the OG vet, which means she was in the trenches doing work back when the WWE didn't value women's wrestling like that. She crawled so Bianca and them could run. It wouldn't surprise me if she had envy over the whole situation and had felt overlooked for years, so I'll give you that.

As far as Bayley, Bianca was well within her rights to not trust her. And how did that work out? When the chips were down, it turned out Naomi was right that Bayley had changed, and when it mattered, Bayley came through for Bianca, and Bayley was coming through for Naomi as she helped even odds on occasion. I digress, as Bayley has nothing to do with this.

All I'm saying, is that Naomi has a noted track record in seeing the good in people and being there for her friends when she can be, even at the expense of her job (see: the walkout with Mercedes/Sasha). She isn't wrong to ask that in return.

What Naomi should have done, is not take the route of Rock/Rikishi, but actually lean into what you mentioned and basically proclaim that Bianca and Jade don't happen in WWE if she didn't lay the groundwork first, and all that being the trailblazer that never got her flowers got her was being overlooked and forgotten about AGAIN. But this would have required Naomi to get Bianca out the way before said reveal.

I mean Naomi attacking Jade literally gave Bayley the last spot in the chamber. So Naomi used the attack for Bayley to gain Bianca's trust. And I don't remember Naomi being there for Jade and Bianca like that. I do remember Bayley and Naomi doing their thing together which is why Bianaca fell back. So actually this kind of started with Bayley so she has everything to do with it. Bianca is gonna come to the ring to help Naomi if Bayley is out there with her.

The walk out was real this. This is a storyline though. I just don't see how Bianca is at fault. I see it as naomi being weird and jealous 100% she took put Jade to get Bianca to trust bayley.

The whole laying the ground work is corny because again... nobody did anything to her. She's a delusional weirdo. For all of that she could've stayed in TNA

a slap won't do that...that had to be from a belt shot or something

Did you see it? It's legit. It was swelling and bruising right after it happened.
