Naomi broke down in tears during an emotional promo with Bianca Belair after addressing the betrayal she felt. NWA Hall of Famer Bill Apter has now shed light on the authenticity of that emotional moment.
Apter discussed this topic during his appearance on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge’s “The Wrestling Time Machine” show. He addressed the real emotions behind Naomi’s tearful promo moment.
Apter explained that Naomi’s emotional response stemmed from her deep immersion in her WWE character. He compared this to method acting, where performers truly embody their roles.
You see, once you get into your character in this business and you believe what’s going on, it’s like method acting, so to say. You become that person, and she really believes what went on and it was real to her. The emotion and the crying was real to her. She was in a real place.
According to Apter, professional wrestlers often experience genuine emotions when they fully commit to their storylines. This commitment allows them to deliver authentic reactions during key moments.
The promo in question featured Naomi confronting Belair about feeling betrayed. The emotional segment gained attention from fans due to the visible tears and raw emotion displayed.
WWE has continued to develop the storyline between Naomi, Belair, and Cargill following this emotional confrontation. The trio’s complex relationship remains a focal point of current programming.
