Women’s World Champion Naomi Confirms Her Pregnancy And Relinquishes Her Title On RAW

On August 18, 2025, an episode of Monday Night RAW, Naomi was set to address her condition. The reports were already out; however, an official announcement was yet to be confirmed from her. That happened on Raw when Naomi announced her pregnancy, expecting her first child with Jimmy Uso. As happy as she was, and the fans were for the couple, it was equally merrier for the women’s roster.

Naomi announced that her baby is now seven weeks old and thus she has to take time off for it. However, the issues come in the part where she is the reigning Women’s World Champion on RAW. She had no choice but to relinquish the title and walk away for nearly a year. It is entertaining to see how, even while walking away from WWE, she delivered a heartfelt promo while keeping up her heel gimmick.

It is great to see Naomi have a baby, but it is unfortunate for her momentum going on in 2025. She was holding onto a generational heel persona while being highly entertaining. Naomi reached her peak in June when she grabbed the Money in the Bank contract. She informed everyone to ‘proceed with caution’ as she slowly built up her cash-in. In the main event of Evolution between Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley, she cashed in her MITB and won the title in the most shocking way.

Naomi reveals the details of knowing when she was pregnant

In a bonus episode of What’s Your Story?, podcast with Stephanie McMahon, Naomi and Jimmy Uso opened up about their emotional journey to parenthood. Naomi revealed she discovered her pregnancy on Sunday, August 10, 2025, while on the road to her hotel room. Feeling unusual, she took a pregnancy test to rule out the possibility, not expecting a positive result due to her long-standing fertility struggles.

“I really didn’t think it was possible,” she shared, reflecting on the challenges they faced. After confirming the news, Naomi called Uso but was immediately consumed with worry about her role as Women’s World Champion. “I was stressed about telling work because of where I am right now as the champion. Of all times,” she admitted, highlighting the intense timing of the announcement amid her career peak.

Medical advice had led them to believe they would need assistance to conceive, so they weren’t overly cautious. “There was no reason to proceed because we had been informed,” he said, noting the uncertainty they faced. Despite the surprise, the joy of the moment was tempered by Naomi’s concern for her fans and WWE. Jimmy praised her selflessness, saying, “She isn’t going to say this, but she felt like she let all her fans down. She felt like it’s a step back because she’s cooking.”
