History Wrestling / NaomiWrestler

* CoolShades

%%* FragileSpeedster: Similar to her pro, Wrestling/KellyKelly. Naomi is a little larger and less fragile-looking but is the same height and has a similar style.

** According to an interview on WWE.com, her entire new Glow-based gimmick is a Shoot-out to Film/TheLastDragon

* ShoutOut: She has a midair headscissors stinkface move that she called [[Music/DestinysChild "Bootylicious"]].

* AssKicksYou:
** Ever since [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]], Naomi has enjoyed smashing her ass in her opponents' faces in a move named the Rear View. It was changed to a LighterAndSofter version of its FCW name, the 'Booty Call'.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Like Brodus Clay, she has a tendency shake her ass when caught in a hold until her opponent gets uncomfortable enough to release it. Natalya (derisively) compared waist locking Naomi to riding a bucking horse.

* AssKicksYou: Ever since [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]], Naomi has enjoyed smashing her ass in her opponents' faces in a move named the Rear View.
** LighterAndSofter: In FCW the move was called the Booty Call.
** She also has an odd move where she goes for a headscissors but pulls the opponent's face against her ass to give some kind of mid-air stink face.

* BreakUpBreakout: Inverted. She didn't get to properly debut on the main roster until she found herself a [[Wrestling/{{Cameron}} partner]].
** Later played as she featured often in contrast to her former partner.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She stopped dying it during her Planet Funk gimmick, however.

* 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.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In the Funkadactyls she mostly wore her hair straight. After they split she wore her hair braided or curly more often. Likewise just before she turned heel, she changed her hair to be more permed. Of course that ended up subverted since she kept changing her hair around.

* OneSteveLimit: She adopted the nickname 'Slayomi' by fans and it's now Canon. WWE also have a female tag team called the Slayers (Summer Rae and Layla) on TV at the same time.

* FinishingMove: The complete list includes - Knight Falls (a leg lariat used in FCW), a springboard crossbody (when she first started wrestling on the main roster), the Rear View (AssKicksYou), split-legged moonsault, an inverted DDT and a submission called the Slayomission. Only the Rear View seems to have endured over the years.

* RetCon: Her NXT Season 3 preview referred to her name as Naomi Knight. On the show's premiere episode the video was edited so that she didn't say the last name - and has been called just Naomi ever since.

* ShoutOut: She has an AssKicksYou move (not the Rear View) that she called [[Music/DestinysChild "Bootylicious"]].
* SignatureMove: A jumping high kick (think Enziguiri minus the feint), flying leg lariat (Finisher in FCW), diving clothesline (double armed like Wrestling/TheUndertaker but flips over if it connects), spinning leg lariat in the corner which leaves her on the apron, a plancha fakeout and the aforementioned rear view. She's also recently added a split-legged moonsault to her repertoire.

'''Trinity Fatu''' (née '''[=McCray=]''') is an American {{professional wrest|ling}}er currently signed with Wrestling/{{WWE}} under the ring name '''Naomi'''. She worked at their developmental grounds at FCW under the name '''Naomi Knight''' from 2009 to 2011, where she was a one-time FCW Divas Champion. She also competed on the third season of [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]], where she came in second place. In 2012, Naomi debuted on the main roster as a valet for Wrestling/BrodusClay, becoming a member of the '''Tons of Funk''' stable. She then formed a tag team known as Wrestling/TheFunkadactyls with her fellow Tons of Funk valet Wrestling/{{Cameron}} that soon splintered off from Clay and Tons of Funk. Naomi and Cameron ended their alliance as well in 2014.

* CanonName: She had the last name of "Knight" in FCW, which fans still use as her proper surname when she is on the main roster.

* TheArtifact: Unlike Wrestling/{{Cameron}}, Naomi has kept their Funkadactyls entrance music, which was in and of itself TheArtifact from their days as valets for Wrestling/BrodusClay.

* FragileSpeedster: Similar to her pro, Wrestling/KellyKelly. Naomi is a little larger and less fragile-looking but is the same height and has a similar style.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In the Funkadactyls she mostly wore her hair straight. After they split she wore her hair braided or curly more often.

* {{Face}}: Has been a face for almost the entire duration of her entire pro-wrestling career. They really ''tried'' to make her a heel when she first appeared in FCW, but fans kept cheering for her and her natural athleticism made her a perfect face.

* FinishingMove: The Rear View, as well as a split-legged moonsault. She had previously used a leg lariat and occasionally a springboard crossbody.
** She's now also added an inverted DDT and a submission move she calls the Slay-Mission.

* FunWithAcronyms: Her {{heel}} TagTeam with Wrestling/TaminaSnuka (and later PowerStable with the addition of Wrestling/SashaBanks) is appropriately named (Team) '''BAD'''. Naomi originally defined the acronym as "Beautiful Alpha Divas," then "Best At Dominating," but soon after Sasha joined it became "Beautiful And Dangerous."

* PowerStable: [[FunWithAcronyms BAD]] with Wrestling/TaminaSnuka and Wrestling/SashaBanks.

* FaceHeelTurn: Her first heel turn on the main roster when she attacked Wrestling/{{Paige}} post-match for winning a battle royal on April 13, 2015's ''RAW'' to become No. 1 Contender to [[Wrestling/TheBellas Nikki Bella's]] Divas Championship. Why? Because Naomi had already pinned Nikki-as-champ twice[[note]]Actually three times, taking an episode of ''Main Event'' into account[[/note]], which should by all rights have automatically made ''Naomi'' the No. 1 Contender and yet she never got the title matches; Naomi just got tired of playing nice by sitting back and letting opportunities slip by her. Her turn was quite surprising at the time, as there had been ''nothing'' to hint to it occurring. She got plenty of heat for the beatdown, as Paige is not only one of the most over Divas, she's English -- guess where ''RAW'' was that night?

As of June 2014, Naomi and Cameron have ended their alliance and begun feuding with each other.

* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Her Funkadactyl gear compared to her NXT and FCW gear. She also had rhinestones on her Eyepatch when she returned from her eye in injury. An episode of ''Total Divas'' had her getting a catsuit adorned with rhinestones for a music video shoot. She balked at the finished outfit and insisted it had to have rhinestones on the back as well.

* UrExample: The first FCW Divas Champion. There were two older belts that filled the same niche though, the first being the Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA Florida Women's Championship, first title holder being Mae Young, back when the company was still called CWF. To summarize, CWF was forced to change its name to FCW for a time and since there were several NWA promotions in Florida, established its very own FCW Ladies Championship, the first holder being [[Wrestling/MickieJames Alexis Laree]]. For added confusion, there was also a Queen Of FCW [[note]]represented by a crown rather than a belt, the contemporary FCW 15 title was represented by a medal[[/note]], the first champion being Angela Fong. Naomi would go on to lose to AJ Lee, who simplified things somewhat by combining "Queen" with "Divas".

* AbortedArc: A partial example. Naomi was in the middle of a push for the Divas Championship when she got an eye injury in a match against Wrestling/{{Aksana}}. Cameron got a push for the title in Naomi's stead while the latter was recovering, but Naomi never got a proper title match when she returned, only participating in a 14-Diva free for all at [=WrestleMania=] - then being immediately forgotten about when Wrestling/{{Paige}} abruptly won the title.

* {{Corpsing}}: Made her NXT pro Wrestling/KellyKelly corpse when she did her routine in the Hamburger Helper costume.

!!Tropes:

* GenreBlindness: At first she seemed to get how to appeal to the audience better than anyone else on ''[=WWE NXT=]''. Then for the NXT Halloween costume contest she dressed as the hamburger helper hand, "[[ChewingTheScenery One Pound, One Pan, One Tasty Meal]]", which she later wrestled in. Comedy costumes never win contests in WWE unfortunately, [[{{Stripperiffic}} less is usually more in those situations]].

* SignatureMove: A jumping high kick (think Enziguiri minus the feint), flying leg lariat (Finisher in FCW), diving clothesline (double armed like [[Wrestling/TheUndertaker Undertaker]] but flips over if it connects), spinning leg lariat in the corner which leaves her on the apron, a plancha fakeout and the aforementioned rear view. She's also recently added a split-legged moonsault to her repertoire.

* WorthyOpponent: Wrestling/{{Paige}} acknowledged Naomi as such with a respectful handshake after the latter defeated her. Naomi's tag-team partner [[Wrestling/{{Cameron}} Cameron]]? Not so much.

* EyepatchOfPower: For a couple of weeks after getting an eye injury courtesy of Wrestling/{{Aksana}}. The eyepatch even had rhinestones to match Naomi's gear.

* IHaveTheHighGround: Definitely.

* SassyBlackWoman:

* SheFu: Well, she ''is'' a former dancer. There are a lot of flips, rolls, and pretty athletic moves in her matches.
