Naomi announced for WrestleCon convention
Former WWE women’s champion Naomi (real name Trinity Fatu) will be making a convention appearance during WrestleMania 39 weekend.
WrestleCon announced today that Fatu will appear at their convention in Los Angeles next month. Fatu will be at the convention on Saturday, April 1 and Sunday, April 2.
This will be Fatu’s first appearance related to pro wrestling since she and Mercedes Mone walked out of WWE last May. Fatu and Mone were the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions at the time they walked out.
Mone, who is the current IWGP Women’s Champion, is also set to appear at WrestleCon on April 2.
During a signing for Golden Ring Collectibles recently, Ariane Andrew (former WWE wrestler Cameron) was asked about Fatu’s pro wrestling future. Andrew said Fatu is recovering from shoulder surgery.
“She is recovering from shoulder surgery. I want her to answer the question for herself. I know she’s recovering from shoulder surgery,” Andrew said. “I’m super proud of her, that’s my sister from another mister. You’ll have to ask her for yourself how she’s feeling, see if her shoulder is feeling good because she’s recovering right now.”
Fatu and Andrew formerly teamed together as The Funkadactyls in WWE.
WrestleCon 2023 is taking place from March 31 to April 2.
