Here are some highlights from Naomi’s appearance on AfterBuzzTV, where revealed that she would want to face Beyonce in a WWE match and among other topics:

Wanting to face Beyonce someday: “I would have to say Beyonce, because she’s my idol. Beyonce is great at everything, you can’t be great at wrestling too. I think that is one thing she’s not good at and I would be better at her.”

Wanting to face Melina, Lita, Trish Stratus and more: “I would bring back some woman from the Attitude Era. Lita, I think she’s freaking amazing! Melina, that is definitely someone who influenced me. Trish of course! I thought some of those woman were killing it back then and I feel like because of the time period, a lot of those woman didn’t get the credit they deserve but they were kicking ass back then and also opened a lot of door for us.

Possibly opening a bar with her Jimmy Uso: “[Jimmy] and I eventually want to open some business. We’ve been talking about having our own bar, naming it the square circle, but it would be wrestling vibe and something relatable to us and for our fans.”

Wanting to own her own company: “I would love to have my own hair company. My own hair line, when I tell you I know everything is to know about hair, I’ve experience every type of hair, I’ve had every hair stylist, I’ve re-grown my hair out so many times I know so much about that which is why once I get my hands into it, I would be so good with it. I’m so passionate about hair! Especially as a black woman it’s just another whole – ya’ll don’t know the struggle (laughs). It’s an amazing business that I’m very interested in, it’s a multi billion dollar company.”

Edge and Christian open today’s show speaking about the attitude era. They wonder when the ‘attitude era’ actually started and ended. Edge says that the Goldust character was one of the first signs of WWE pushing the boundaries in his opinion. He gives a lot of credit to Dustin Runnels, who has been with the company for over two decades, and is still a terrific worker in the ring and person outside of it.

If Goldust was one key sign of the time’s changing, Steve Austin’s promo at King of the Ring 1996 also paved the way for what was about to come. After that, guys like Shawn Michaels and Triple H saw what was happening and changed their character to fit the times.

Another character who adapted with the times was The Undertaker. Christian says that Undertaker always found a way to tweak his character as required, in order for it to make sense in whatever era he was working in. The Rock and Mankind also made a huge mark on the business at this time and before long, young Superstars started transitioning from WCW to WWE such as Chris Jericho and Eddie Guerrero.

As we are all no doubt very aware, Jinder Mahal is the WWE Champion. He’s bested the likes of Sami Zayn and Randy Orton, and is now seated comfortably at the top of the mountain. It is still unclear just how long he’s going to stay there, but things have changed. He is not going back down to where he was. WWE is clearly all in on the Maharaja Express. Once this is all done and there’s a new WWE Champion, don’t expect Mahal to fade away. From the looks of things, he is going to be around for a while.

The Last Few Reigns Kinda Sucked

Think about it. The last three champions, for some crazy reason, have all been transitional champions. I can’t believe it. If you add the total amount of days that John Cena, Bray Wyatt, and Randy Orton held the title this year, it’s less than the length of AJ Styles’s reign. The championship went nowhere.

Cena won it off AJ so he could get his 16 title reigns and lose it to Bray Wyatt two weeks later. Two weeks. What is this, the 70’s? Next up is Bray Wyatt. His reign started out alright. He won in the Elimination Chamber and retained against Cena and Styles in a triple threat. Cool. Randy Orton burned his house down and killed Sister Abigail to death. It was an awesome moment, but that was when the feud jumped the shark.

The bad blood between Wyatt and Orton devolved into a dick measuring contest. They argued over who had the superior magic powers, with Bray claiming he was born again and Randy just kinda stabbing the ground with a stake. Then they put on a garbage match at Wrestlemania that was certifiably spooky.

Randy won and then fought Wyatt in an even spookier House of Horrors match that he lost. He then lost his in his first title defense.

They’ve Put Effort Into Turning Jinder Into a Champion

The very first thing that Jinder Mahal did on Smackdown was come out of a damn limousine like he was hot stuff. The Singh brothers weren’t even riding in the same car as him. They rolled out a carpet for him to step on. Then he had a Punjabi celebration that was actually really cool and colorful. Dancers and music were there in the stadium. It was quite nice.

They are clearly trying to present Mahal as a big deal, and he does seem like one now. This shows a surprising amount of effort. If they were just doing this for kicks and giggles, then they wouldn’t hire a whole crew of Indians to sing and dance. They wouldn’t hire a limousine. WWE is seemingly going the whole nine yards for Mr. Mahal.

Is Mahal going to retain at Money in the Bank? It’s hard to say. Randy Orton is now going after him, and where the hell is Rusev, seriously. Give that man his WWE Championship match. With a new Mr. Money in the Bank about to be crowned soon, we’re about to see some new faces in the main event scene.

Mahal, to his credit, has shown that he can hang with the best. He knows how to wrestle, even if he is a bit plain and uninspiring. The Singh Brothers add depth to his character by giving him unwarranted arrogance. He claims he’s the best, but he’s clearly not. Combine that with his attempts to make us feel racist, and now everyone hates him. It’s great.
