Source-derived summary

Trinity LaShawn Fatu (née McCray; born November 30, 1987) is an American professional wrestler, dancer and actress. As of January 2024, she is signed to WWE, where she performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Naomi.

In August 2009, McCray signed with WWE. She was assigned to its former developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), where she was the inaugural FCW Divas Champion. In August 2010, she competed in the all-female third season of NXT, where she finished in second place. She then made her main roster debut alongside Cameron as The Funkadactyls in January 2012. From 2014 to 2015, she was an on-screen manager for The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso). As a solo competitor, Naomi held the WWE (SmackDown) Women's World Championship three times. With Sasha Banks, she obtained the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship in 2022. A month later, Naomi and Banks received indefinite suspensions from WWE after the two walked out due to a creative dispute. In 2023, Fatu stated she had departed the company and later performed as part of Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling, where she became TNA Knockouts World Champion.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Naomi (wrestler)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Naomi, wrestler and American provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3119295. VIAF identifies the subject as 179163332508802642854. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1987, 2024, 2009 and 2010.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
