WWE is one week away from presenting its Royal Rumble PLE from Tampa, FL, which is expected to feature the return of a former star.
Expectation
Many people expected Trinity, formerly known as Naomi, to be done with TNA coming out of the Hard To Kill pay-per-view event last Saturday when she dropped the Knockouts Title to Jordynne Grace. However, that wasn’t the case.
Trinity joined the promotion last year following her exit from WWE in May 2022, when she walked out of WWE alongside Mercedes Mone due to creative differences. Trinity is expected to be a free agent very soon. She may be a surprise return in the Women’s Royal Rumble match, something internally expected.
She worked last Sunday’s TV tapings in Las Vegas, Nevada, and then at Friday’s TV tapings in Orlando, FL, where she was in tag team action. She teamed with Grace against Giselle Shaw and Savannah Evans.
Promo
Trinity cut a promo after the match, saying that TNA has been life-changing for her both in and out of the ring. She thanked the fans for coming out.
This appeared to be Trinity saying goodbye to the promotion, although she may finish up at Saturday’s TV tapings. Either way, her expected WWE return is still in play, setting up a surprise return at the Royal Rumble.
“Coming to TNA has been life-changing for me, both inside and outside the ring,” Trinity stated. “I feel honored to work with such a strong division, an incredible group of women. What a champion we have here. Whenever y’all think of TNA, I want y’all to think of me, Trin-TNA. Thank you for coming out, we love you.”
