Randy Orton saw the vision and made a bold claim about Naomi and AJ Lee almost 15 years ago.
Yep, you read it right! The guy who hears voices even saw the vision, which too a long time ago. The Viper has been the apex predator of WWE for almost two decades now and is one of the most experienced professional wrestlers. So when someone of that stature praises a rising star, that speaks a lot about their talent.
This is exactly what happened with AJ Lee and Naomi. Orton had once tweeted about these two wrestlers on X (formerly Twitter), acknowledging their in-ring prowess. Almost 15 years later, the tweet is going viral again. Orton had written,
Naomi and AJ r the best workers imo. Something about that Naomi tho”

This tweet is from the time when both of these female wrestlers were in the developmental territories of WWE, specifically FCW. Lee and Naomi had a major rivalry in the Florida Championship Wrestling in 2010 over the FCW Divas Championship. Lee turned heel by attacking Naomi during an interview after she won the inaugural championship, resulting in a Triple Threat match between Naomi, Lee, and her partner, Serena, which Naomi won.
Naomi defeated Lee in a match, ending their feud for some time before December 2010. Lee defeated Naomi to win the FCW Divas Championship. This victory made AJ the first FCW Diva to have held both the Divas Championship and the Queen of FCW title.

AJ Lee and Naomi Still Dominating the Wrestling World
Following their main roster debut, both wrestlers engaged in yet another rivalry, with Lee defending the Divas Championship multiple times against Naomi. She was known for her high-flying style, whereas the Black Widow’s technical prowess and ‘mentally unstable’ persona led to many interesting matchups.
Despite their rivalry, these two teamed up occasionally, including Lee’s last WWE match ever on March 30, 2015. Though Lee has returned to the company, Naomi is out of action as she and Jimmy Uso are expecting their first baby together. She was having a memorable run in the company, winning the Women’s Money in the Bank contract, then cashing in during the main event of WWE Evolution, winning the Women’s World Heavyweight Championship, and defending it at SummerSlam.
She had to relinquish the title and has publicly expressed a desire to face Lee once again.
