Rikishi Names The Greatest Black Female Wrestler Of All-Time

WWE.co

Naomi has seen better days in WWE.

The former Smackdown Women's Champion lost her WWE Women's Tag Team Championship alongside Bianca Belair to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez last week on Monday Night Raw. After that, she was ambushed by a returning Jade Cargill at WWE Elimination Chamber before her WrestleMania-qualifying match could even begin, leading many to believe she may have been the one to take out Cargill months ago.

However, that does'nt mean she's not getting her flowers from a WWE legend.

WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi took to his "Off The Top" podcast this week, and he was asked who he believed is the greatest Black female wrestler of all-time. For one of the original Uce's, it was an easy answer.

“Trinity [Naomi]. I gotta go with Trinity," he said. "I would love to see a wild moment, to see Trinity go up against Sasha Banks. Sasha Banks makes a surprise, coming into ‘Mania or something."

It should be noted Naomi is the real-life daughter-in-law of Rikishi, married to his son Jimmy Uso. She had previously left WWE in 2022 alongside Sasha Banks over a creative dispute, having a singles run in TNA before returning to WWE at the 2024 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event.
