Matching 30 WWE superstars with 30 Marvel and DC superheroes
By Mark Lynch
22. Naomi
Naomi started off as a cheerleader for the Funkasaurus (seriously, that was his name) and worked her way to becoming a dominant and popular WWE Superstar. Every time she stepped in the ring she got better. We knew she was athletic, but she proved that she could wrestle with the best and win.
Her crowning achievement may have been when she won the SmackDown Women’s title in her home state of Florida at WrestleMania 33. She went on to defend the title countless times and made everyone, “Feel the Glow.”
You can tell a WWE Superstar’s popularity by their return. When Naomi was gone, she was sorely missed. Her return to the WWE at the 2020 Royal Rumble made the fans erupt with joy. It must have been great to feel that love.
Misty Knight
You wanna talk about tough, dynamic women? You have to put Misty Knight and Naomi together. Who wouldn’t want to see the two of them in a detective scenario solving crimes? Naomi and Misty would get along perfectly. Neither of them tolerate any insolence. Disrespecting them normally ends up with their opponent on the ground in pain.
Recently, Naomi came back rocking her natural hair with pride. Something that Misty Knight has done for years. As a person of color, it makes me proud that both of these women love their hair. Since her return, Naomi has been criticized for her hair on social media. Instead of letting it get to her, she just smiles and keeps it moving. A testament of a confident woman.
