Fan-Favorite WWE Superstar Reportedly Missing Significant Amount of Time
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
One of the most exciting moments in WWE recently was when Naomi cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase at Evolution 2025 to become the Women's World Champion.
This not only added another world championship to her WWE tenure, but it cemented her as one of the top villains in the company.
However, it appear that the fan-favorite WWE Superstar's reign may unfortunately cut short due to medical reasons.

Before the Aug. 11 episode of Monday Night Raw, WWE announced on social media that Naomi was not medically cleared to wrestle with no further explanation.
"Naomi is not medically cleared to compete and therefore her scheduled match against Iyo Sky will not take place tonight on Monday Night Raw," WWE said. "Tune into tonight for continuing coverage on this developing story."

It was later revealed that she will not be at Clash in Paris, where the Women's World Champion was set to defend their title against Stephanie Vaquer.

This news was soon followed up with a report from Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer that Naomi could be off WWE television for a "long, long time."
"There is definitely a rumor going around in WWE about what's going on with Naomi, and like it's being talked about by people there, and if it is, in fact, what's going on, she is going to be out for a long, long time," Alvarez said, per David Robles of WrestlingNews.co.
"Okay, I'll just say that for now. My presumption is that, you know, people will find out probably fairly soon, but I think that that it would be a while. If this is the case."
This has turned out to be the case since Naomi will be appearing on the "What's Your Story?" podcast with Stephanie McMahon alongside her husband, fellow WWE Superstar Jimmy Uso.

Naomi and WWE have remained quiet regarding what exactly the medical condition is, but Alvarez noted that it was strange for WWE to announce that she will miss the next Premium Live Event.
"Clash in Paris isn't for three more weeks," Alvarez elaborated. "So oftentimes when, let's say that she has a concussion, okay, if she had a concussion, they would just be [say] she's not medically cleared to compete [and] they would evaluate her next week.
"To already presume she's not going to be at Clash in Paris. That doesn't sound good."
It looks like fans will have to wait until their appearance on "What's Your Story?" for an answer.

Owners Can't Work Out Dog's Escapes—Camera Captures Secret Move
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After noticing their 5-month-old puppy continued to escape, one couple set up a camera to find out her secret move, but the video only left them wondering how. Owner Ari, who is known on TikTok as @ and her partner recently welcomed home an Aussiedoodle, a cross between an Australian Shepherd and a poodle. And, as many pet parents realize, they quickly learned their pup has anxiety as she'll scream through the night. Many dogs experience anxiety, a healthy and normal emotion, from time to time. An article from the American Kennel Club reported that some of the most common reasons for a dog's anxiety include separation, fear and aging. About 14 percent of all dogs experience separation anxiety. The couple noticed their puppy escaping her crate, breaking it and chewing through the tray, which are all signs of anxiety. Wanting to get to the bottom of her escape plan, they set up a camera in the room and closed the door, sharing the results in a July 15 TikTok video. The pup realized she was alone and began jumping at the door within seconds. On her third hop, she used her paw to push down the door handle. It was enough to unlatch the door and she slithered her way into the other room. Her owners screeched when they saw she had escaped. Even after rewatching the clip, they asked in the caption: "How did she figure this out on her own?" The couple is now worried she'll soon realize all the doors in the house have the same handle, giving her access to any room she wants. Even sliding doors are not safe in their home, as she managed to figure out how those open too, Ari wrote in a comment. As of Thursday, the TikTok clip had nearly reached half a million views and 27,200 likes. Many viewers didn't seem too shocked by the pup's mastermind, considering she's part Australian shepherd, which is considered one of the smartest dog breeds. Offering an explanation for how, one person commented: "It's because they watch you open the doors and know how they work." Another added: "I have a mini Aussiedoodle also, ESCAPE ARTISTS I swear." Someone suggested: "Set up the knob like it's pointing up." Newsweek reached out to @ via TikTok for additional information and comment.
