Naomi picked up one of the most significant victories of her career at WWE’s Money in the Bank, when she climbed the ladder to claim the briefcase. This means that the veteran WWE superstar now has a guaranteed shot at a title at any point in the next 365 days.
WWE typically teases this out over a lengthy period, but in Naomi’s case, the company has wasted no time in hinting at what title she might have her eyes on, and it’s not what fans would have expected.
WWE Teases Naomi Cashing In on Becky Lynch
One of the other major winners at WWE Money in the Bank was Becky Lynch, who defeated Lyra Valkyria to become the Women’s Intercontinental Champion. However, she might not hold onto that title for too long if Naomi gets her way. The two women teased and reignited their rivalry during the post-show press conference.
While the Money in the Bank briefcase is typically used to cash in on a World Champion, that doesn’t mean it’s the only way it has to be used. Naomi could use this opportunity with the briefcase for any title. When asked about possibly cashing in on Lynch during the WWE Money in the Bank post-show, Naomi sent an ominous warning to the Four Horsewoman star.
“Oh baby, you better sleep with one eye open and watch your back too, ’cause nobody with gold in this division is safe,” the wrestler said.
Becky Lynch Isn’t Worried About the Threat of Naomi
Naomi has been displaying a more aggressive side in recent times after turning, on Jade Cargill, and this is a completely different version than anyone has ever seen before.
The new version of Naomi has proven to be successful enough for her to win the Money in the Bank for the first time in her career. However, the threat of her watching over Lynch and the her newly won title isn’t something that the Women’s Intercontinental champion is worried about.
“I am not afraid of nothing,” Lynch said on Saturday. “Naomi walked out on me. If she thinks she’s going to come after me, she’s got another thing coming.”
A feud between these two women would be something fresh since they’ve not had a major storyline against each other in a long time. However, the star power of both women would certainly draw fans into this one if it does play out on television, while also elevating the Women’s Intercontinental title.
