Trinity Fatu, formerly Naomi, has officially made her return back to the world of professional wrestling. On April 28th, Fatu made her debut during the tapings for Impact Wrestling. Fans will get to see her on television when the episode airs on the May 4, 2023, edition of Impact Wrestling. Furthermore, fans will also get to see her face KiLynn King in one-on-one action at Spring Slugfest when it airs. The match was pre-taped on April 29th. It is good to see Fatu back in the ring after being out of action for so long following her and Mercedes Moné’s departure from WWE. Impact Wrestling is a great fit for Fatu, which is something she believes as well.
Impact Wrestling Can Succeed Where WWE Failed Trinity Fatu
Fatu’s arrival in Impact Wrestling is a big deal. For months, she was one of the biggest free agents in professional wrestling. Fans had speculated where it could be that she would end up. Various companies floated around, with some even believing that she would go back to WWE. However, she ultimately chose Impact Wrestling. Speaking on her departure from WWE with NBC 5 Chicago, she said, "I feel like it was a blessing in disguise. I feel that it's allowed me to grow and become better in every way, in every aspect. Show me how strong I really am.”
When Fatu was a part of WWE, she was a consistent fan favorite. People wanted to see her get to the top of the card. While she did have a number of different accolades with the company, such as being SmackDown Women’s Champion and a Women’s Tag Team Champion, she was never given very strong and consistent booking. Fans made it known at various points that they disapproved of WWE’s booking of her, such as #NaomiDeservesBetter in 2020. However, this never happened. After their rightful criticisms of their booking, Fatu and Moné left.
Impact Wrestling has a major opportunity with Fatu now being signed to them. With her arrival in the company, it can attract a lot of eyes to their product. While former WWE talent have signed and are currently signed with Impact Wrestling, Fatu is easily the biggest name in a while to make her way to the promotion. It is a fresh start for Fatu in professional wrestling as well. For the vast majority of her career, she was signed to WWE. Impact Wrestling now has the opportunity to succeed where WWE failed. They have a big chance to capitalize on her popularity.
Trinity Fatu Joins A Phenomenal Knockout's Division
Fatu also added in her interview with NBC 5 Chicago that the reason she chose to join Impact Wrestling was because of the Knockouts Division. She stated, “I’ve been watching these women for years from afar, and I’ve always admired the talent here.” Over the years, Impact Wrestling has seen some truly incredible women’s wrestlers step through their doors. Impact Wrestling has an incredible roster, with talents like Jordynne Grace, Rosemary, Tasha Steelz, Mickie James, current Knockouts World Champion Deonna Purrazzo, and more.
This introduces Fatu to a whole new roster of competitors that she now has the opportunity to face. She has the chance to face legends like Mickie James in one-on-one action, while facing competitors from the new generation like Jordynne Grace and Deonna Purrazzo. While mentioned previously that Impact Wrestling can succeed in Fatu’s booking where WWE failed, she can also do a lot to help build up the future of professional wrestling. In addition, with Impact Wrestling’s agreements with other promotions, there are numerous opponents and potential matchups for Fatu.
Trinity Fatu Is Happy To Be In Impact Wrestling
In her interview, Fatu said of her return to professional wrestling, “Being back in wrestling and being with my pack in a place where I feel so welcome and just for the opportunity and just receiving all the love, it was very, very overwhelming. And I really felt it in my heart like I really did. I couldn't even hide the emotion.” The most important thing, above all else, is that Fatu is in a promotion where she is happy doing the thing that she loves. She further added, “I've got this new journey ahead of me, these new goals, and I'm excited and ready to step into this new chapter.”
It will be great to see what Fatu does in this new chapter of her career in Impact Wrestling. She has a whole new roster of faces to compete against and can do a lot to help Impact Wrestling grow. Most importantly, she is happy to return to professional wrestling.
