After many years of working her way up the ladder, Naomi finally broke through and won the SmackDown women’s championship from Alexa Bliss at Elimination Chamber last night (Feb. 12, 2017) in Phoenix. She broke down in tears in the ring after in a genuinely touching moment.
And everyone was happy for her.
When she went to the back, Triple H was right there for the usual photo op:
