Professional wrestling isn’t just about flashy moves and booming entrances—it’s storytelling in its purest form. And right now, no story is capturing the imagination of fans like “The Big Three.” Naomi, Bianca Belair, and Jade Cargill aren’t just redefining what it means to be a superstar; they’re creating a seismic shift in the wrestling world. Their combined talents, charisma, and star power have ignited a movement bigger than any title.

Bianca Belair has already established herself as a generational talent. From her jaw-dropping athletic feats (like deadlifting opponents mid-match) to making history as one of the first Black women to main-event WrestleMania, Bianca isn’t just a star—she’s a pioneer. Jade Cargill, on the other hand, is wrestling’s ultimate powerhouse. A former AEW TBS Champion who held the title for over 500 days, Jade’s presence alone commands attention. Her sorority-inspired championship entrance? Pure viral gold. Then there’s Naomi. Already a WWE and TNA champion and future Hall of Famer, the former Orlando Magic dancer in the ring is a once-in-a-lifetime talent. Her glow, her athleticism, and now her edge? It’s a reinvention years in the making, and we’re witnessing it all in real-time.

Storylines That Shape Careers

Wrestling’s greatest moments have always been about more than gold belts and five-star matches—they’re about the unforgettable stories that transcend eras. Think back to Triple H and Shawn Michaels’ iconic “Whodunit?” saga. It wasn’t just a feud; it was a game-changer that rejuvenated Michaels’ career after his return from injury. Or the legendary “Who ran down Stone Cold?” mystery, which turned Rikishi, a respected mid-card talent, legend, AND Naomi’s father-in-law—into a main-event player and cemented his legacy in one of wrestling’s greatest eras in a program with fellow Hall of Famers like The Rock, Steve Austin and HHH.

Now it’s Naomi’s turn. Her heel turn isn’t just about being bad—it’s about evolution. It’s about proving why she belongs in every conversation about wrestling’s greats. And just like those iconic storylines of the past, this one has the potential to redefine careers—not just hers, but Bianca’s and Jade’s too.

The Kofi Kingston Parallel: Naomi’s Journey

For longtime fans, you might compare Naomi’s trajectory to Kofi Kingston’s. For most of his career, Kofi dazzled fans with jaw-dropping athleticism and multiple midcard title reigns and was celebrated as a tag team legend with The New Day. But it wasn’t until Kofi-Mania—that emotional groundswell of fan support culminating in his historic WrestleMania win—that Kofi Kingston reached the mountaintop while alo becoming a Grand Slam champion and the first, and only African-born world champion in WWE history. It was a moment that validated not just his talent but his years of perseverance.

Naomi’s career feels like it’s building to a similar crescendo. With championship reigns in WWE and TNA and standout performances in Royal Rumbles (those crowd-popping save spots are a highlight reel unto themselves), she’s always been a star. But with her heel turn and the current spotlight shining bright, Naomi’s about to claim her long-overdue moment in wrestling’s main event spotlight.

Naomi’s Betrayal and the Perfect Set-Up

The casual fan saw drama when Jade showed up and attacked Naomi at the Elimination Chamber. The die-hard fans? They saw the seeds of brilliance being planted. Days later, the Big Three’s segment addressing the Whodunit, highlighted by Bianca and Naomi’s emotional promo, didn’t just add fuel to the fire—it scorched the earth, for Naomi, many on social media and in the wrestling industry, considered it her best promo of all time. Her reveal as the mastermind behind Jade’s injury wasn’t just shocking; it was calculated, ice-cold, and straight out of wrestling’s golden playbook. Draped in black and radiating menace, Naomi declared herself reborn.

This isn’t just a story about three wrestlers feuding—it’s a narrative layered with betrayal, ambition, and the representation wrestling desperately needs. For Naomi, this heel turn isn’t just about creating conflict; it’s her megaphone, her defiance against being overlooked, and her claim to being the headliner. And for the die-hards, seeing her finally take the reins is wrestling magic.

Faction Potential: Enter Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson

For the casual viewer, here’s where wrestling factions come into play. Think about iconic groups like Evolution or The Bloodline—they weren’t just collections of wrestlers; they were platforms that elevated everyone involved, think Batista and Randy Orton in Evolution and with The Bloodline?! Everyone involved! Naomi leading a faction of rising stars like NXT’s Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson could be the next big thing. Lash is a physically dominant performer, while Jakara exudes charisma and athleticism. Pairing them with Naomi brings legitimacy to the young talents and showcases Naomi as a true leader.

For die-hard fans, the dream match scenarios are endless. Jade Cargill vs. Lash Legend? A clash of titans. The trio going head-to-head with Bianca Belair? A guaranteed show-stealer. And Naomi orchestrating it all? That’s how you build a legacy.

The Road to WrestleMania and Beyond

Let’s fantasy book for a moment: WrestleMania arrives. Naomi takes on Jade Cargill in a highly personal match as one of the show stealers. To the shock of the fans, Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson officially join Naomi, creating a faction that instantly trends worldwide.

Momentum carries through to Money in the Bank, where Naomi secures the briefcase in a moment fans replay for weeks. Then comes SummerSlam. Imagine this: Naomi vs. Bianca Belair vs. Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s World Championship headlines night one. A historic match featuring three Black women headlining one of WWE’s biggest events, with Cardi B hosting the night. Win or lose, that triple-threat match becomes iconic, not just for representation but for the unmatched quality these three women deliver in the ring.

The Glow Evolves, The Era Shines

The casual fans get an unforgettable storyline. The die-hards get representation, technical brilliance, and one of the best story arcs in years. Together, Naomi, Bianca, and Jade aren’t just elevating their careers; they’re breaking barriers and rewriting wrestling’s future for the current division and the future stars in NXT.

“The Glow” may be dimmed for the moment, but Naomi’s transformation burns brighter than ever. This is the era of “The Big Three,” a saga that transcends wrestling to become a cultural movement. Whether you’re here for the drama or the legacy, one thing’s for sure: Naomi isn’t just part of history—she continues to be a catalyst for it..
