WWE Rumor: Naomi’s Injury And Wrestlemania 33 Status

Naomi was forced to vacate the Smackdown Women’s Championship this past week by General Manager: Daniel Bryan. Since Naomi was injured at the Elimination Chamber PPV, she could not defend her title in the required 30 days, forcing them to take the belt from her.

So what gives? Is Naomi going to miss Wrestlemania 33 in her hometown of Orlando?

The injury to Naomi looks to be legitimate and she has been kept off of WWE live events since the Elimination Chamber PPV.  The thing coming into question is how serious the injury is.

Dave Meltzer reports that the injury is believed to be fairly minor, by wrestling standards.  It is also rumored that the injury will NOT force her to miss Wrestlemania 33.

So why did WWE choose to strip her of the title if she is only going to be out a few weeks? Surely they could have worked around it like they have done before?

Since Wrestlemania is in her hometown of Orlando, WWE could be setting up a big moment for Naomi. Forcing her to vacate the title will gain her a lot of sympathy with fans heading into the event. Naomi reclaiming the title in her hometown would be a big Wrestlemania moment. It could also be a star-making moment for Naomi and her future as a top babyface.
