* DyeHard: More so in her NXT Season 3 days, where she favoured coloured streaks in her hair. Sometimes in the Funkadactyl gimmick too. And of course as part of her current gimmick she has green glow-in-the-dark tips.
* FanCommunityNickname: 'The Glow Squad' appears to be the one Naomi is pushing for, whereas a few fans use 'The Naomob'.



* RealLifeWritesThePlot: It appeared that they were building toward Naomi competing for and possibly winning [[Wrestling/AJLee AJ's]] Divas Championship — up until an overly stiff knee drop from Aksana fractured Naomi's orbital socket. She was more or less pushed aside in favor of [[Wrestling/{{Paige}} a new face fresh from developmental,]] and the rest, as they say, is history.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: PlayingAgainstType: She debuted as a heel in FCW and they tried to push her as such, but she ended up being pushed as a face to win the first Divas' Championship. She also appeared as a face on TV until 2015 - where she tried a heel run. Even so, she was back to being a face the next year.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** She and {{Wrestling/Cameron}} did a gimmick in FCW where they played {{Heel}}s who were {{Jive Turkey}}s to Byron Saxton, Cameron being the ScreamingWoman of the group - complete with coloured wigs and bodysuits. They did it for one set of tapings before it was dropped completely.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Despite being incredibly talented on NXT Season 3, the win went to {{Wrestling/Kaitlyn}} who had barely any training and had to go back to FCW to train anyway after the show was over. Over the next year, the rest of the NXT Season 3 Divas would debut on the main roster - Wrestling/AJLee, {{Wrestling/Aksana}} and Maxine - while Naomi would remain on FCW. When she finally was called up, it was in a valet role. It was another year before she actually started wrestling. She's also had pushes routinely started and stopped for her. After getting put on the injured list and returning with plenty of momentum against AJ, she gets forgotten about and shunted aside in favour of {{Wrestling/Paige}}. Then after putting on a stellar match at Money In The Bank, she gets forgotten about again to make room for AJ's return.

* RomanceOnTheSet: Currently married to [[Wrestling/TheUsos Jimmy Uso]].

to:

* CastTheExpert: Brought up to the main roster as a dancing valet for Brodus Clay. She was previously a dancer for the Orlando Magic. It also seems rather ironic that she languished in developmental without a character for a whole year - and ended up being given a a dancing one.
* OneOfUs: Requested to join WWE because she was impressed by a women's match she saw. She's also a big fan of Japanese wrestling and her submission hold - the Slay-Mission - was adapted from joshi wrestling.
