The Royal Rumble 2023 premium live event is right around the corner, and the WWE Universe has provided its prediction for the Women's Rumble Match.
Taking to Twitter, fans debated the idea of Liv Morgan or Naomi winning this year's 30-woman bout. A large portion of fans seemed to be in favor of Morgan winning the Rumble. However, many fans disagreed with Naomi possibly winning the prestigious contest, as she walked out of the company alongside Sasha Banks in May 2022.
Several members of the WWE Universe seemed to be against the idea of rewarding Naomi with a Rumble win upon her potential return to the company.

Could Naomi return to WWE in 2023?
Naomi has been absent from WWE after walking out of the company in early 2022 alongside Sasha Banks. The former Women's Tag Team Champions reportedly had a dispute with the creative team and their direction.
The former SmackDown Women's Champion was recently spotted in Japan, supporting Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks), who made her debut for NJPW x STARDOM. Mone challenged former colleague KAIRI for the IWGP Women's Championship.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there have been potential talks going on between Naomi and Triple H's team regarding a possible comeback. However, nothing has been confirmed. The report suggested:
"Regarding Trinity Fatu returning, talks are ongoing but nothing has been signed as of midweek," noted Meltzer.
Naomi's husband, Jimmy Uso, is one-half of the current Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. He is also a member of The Bloodline and is part of one of the most vital storylines in the company.
It will be interesting to see if the former Women's Tag Team Champion returns to the company to work closely with her husband or if she decides to take the same route as her long-time tag team partner.
