Major name headed to IMPACT
Added 2023-04-26 21:49:02 +0000 UTCPWInsider reported that Trinity Fatu, aka Naomi is slated to join IMPACT Wrestling.
Fightful can confirm the two sides have been in discussions. Trinity has been backstage at NJPW, GCW, and ROH shows in recent months. At one point, WWE felt confident they'd land her again. However, they've made no main roster hires in 2023.

Great for Impact and her. Impact isn’t a huge stage but the have the best women’s division and it’ll be a chance for her to shine individually
2023-04-27 15:09:35 +0000 UTCShe is a great signing for Impact.

2023-04-27 09:25:53 +0000 UTCI’m surprised AEW didn’t try to land her she’s a big name with a lot of support behind her after her walkout last year. I get Mercedes is a bigger name but landing Trinity would of been big for them & brought more eyes. With that being said Impact have always been the best North American promotion for treating woman wrestling well so good for then & if Trinity is happy good for her

2023-04-27 09:21:32 +0000 UTCShe's an asset all around. Her booking has rarely served her, and yet she's had incredible fan support – especially from kids and women – through her glow gimmick and Total Divas respectively. She's always brought incredible athleticism. On top of that, no one is hiring her to drop the ball. Trinity is a big get for Impact with a loyal fan following, and I think the Impact team is solid enough not to squander the opportunity and play to her strengths.

2023-04-27 03:56:33 +0000 UTCShe's popular but probably not that big a name to command big money.

2023-04-27 01:54:40 +0000 UTCOr she looked at how they're still treating the women's division and wasn't interested.

2023-04-27 01:53:03 +0000 UTCA positive take though, so I don’t sound like I’m here to just be negative. This will give her an opportunity to knock ring rust off as well as learn and grow with a locker room with a lot of women who actually wrestle and in a company that utilizes them more.
2023-04-27 00:35:32 +0000 UTCPretty sure the article said the exact opposite. They did but, even if she wanted to go, they aren't hiring anyone at the moment

2023-04-27 00:35:03 +0000 UTCImpact has a lot of pretty good women’s wrestlers. It won’t be long, in my opinion, before her flaws show and people realize why no one really cared while she was with WWE until she made headlines for walking out.
2023-04-27 00:29:05 +0000 UTCWith the hiring freeze I'm not shocked, they have a great women's division and I can see her signing a 6 month deal, even 8 and be back next year after the mergers completed.

2023-04-27 00:21:57 +0000 UTCThat's awesome for Impact and they do work with NJPW now. So it's a win for both of them. It is another time of how does Impact have the budget they have? LOL

2023-04-26 23:49:31 +0000 UTCSo the fed didn’t want her aye
2023-04-26 23:30:12 +0000 UTCGreat news that she's continuing to wrestle. I hope Trinity will shine brightly outside of the confines of sports entertainment.

2023-04-26 23:14:09 +0000 UTCShe'll be a breath of fresh air. Hope they get the belt on her sooner rather than later.

2023-04-26 22:58:52 +0000 UTCIs anything really good for Impact they are the definition of treading water.

2023-04-26 22:46:25 +0000 UTCAlong with Aldis, they're fucking knocking it out of the park
Marshall Enloe
2023-04-26 22:31:31 +0000 UTCGood for her and Impact! Hopefully she’ll bring a bunch more eyes to their woman’s division!

2023-04-26 22:22:03 +0000 UTCOh damn good for impact!!
Ty Jans
2023-04-26 22:08:38 +0000 UTCMy exact thought. I bet AEW wanted her to sign for 2 or 3 year deal. Impact likes to do 1 year deals with 6 month opt out.
Keith Kripke
2023-04-26 22:05:29 +0000 UTCNeed her vs Grace if she resigns
Matt Payne
2023-04-26 22:03:38 +0000 UTCMassive Signing for IMPACT! I was really AEW signed her, she's be a main eventer wherever she goes
2023-04-26 22:01:06 +0000 UTCMassive W for Impact Wrestling ✨️
Kyle Pribila
2023-04-26 21:59:29 +0000 UTCGood for her, Impact does have one of the strongest women's divisions right now

2023-04-26 21:56:29 +0000 UTCThis just tells me it’s a temp move so she can return to WWE when they start to rehire again. Reminds me of Mia Yim.
