    WWE star Naomi vacated the Women’s World Championship after announcing her pregnancy during Monday Night Raw in Philadelphia. The 37-year-old star revealed she is expecting her first child with husband and fellow wrestler Jimmy Uso, marking a joyful new chapter in her life.

    In an emotional segment hosted by Raw general manager Adam Pearce, Naomi placed the title belt in the center of the ring, declaring 'the bloodline continues' as fans chanted 'baby Uso'. Though forced to step away for at least nine months, Naomi vowed to return after maternity leave and reclaim the championship she was compelled to relinquish.


    "This isn’t the end. I’ll be back to take over again," she vowed, giving the rest of the women’s division the chance to battle over the now-vacant title in her absence.


    The multi-time women’s champion, who married Uso (Jonathan Fatu) in 2014, appeared in street clothes as Raw general manager hosted the segment.


    The announcement comes just weeks after Naomi delivered one of the highlights of SummerSlam, defeating the duo of Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY in a high-profile showdown. Her momentum was abruptly halted by her pregnancy news, but the support from the WWE Universe made the moment both emotional and celebratory.

    With Naomi sidelined, WWE will now have to decide how to crown a new Women’s World Champion, while fans eagerly await her eventual comeback. For Naomi, this pause marks a joyful new chapter in her personal life, even as she leaves the ring temporarily.
