A month later, Naomi and Banks received indefinite suspensions from WWE after the two walked out due to a creative dispute.
She appeared as one of the main cast members of WWE's reality television series Total Divas from 2013 to 2019 and acted in the 2017 film The Marine 5: Battleground.
[5] In August 2009, McCray signed a contract with WWE, where she reported to their then-developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW).

[22] The Funkadactyls, Clay, and Tensai, collectively known as Tons of Funk, were originally set to face Team Rhodes Scholars (Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow) and the Bella Twins in an eight-person mixed tag team match at WrestleMania 29, but after the match was cut due to time constraints, it instead took place the following night on Raw, with Tons of Funk coming out victorious.
[23] On the August 26 episode of Raw, Naomi was ringside for a match between Natalya and Brie Bella alongside the cast of Total Divas, also including Cameron, Nikki Bella, Eva Marie, and JoJo Offerman, which ended with Divas Champion AJ Lee coming out and cutting a worked shoot promo directed at the women.
[25] The cast of Total Divas went on to defeat Lee, Alicia Fox, Aksana, Kaitlyn, Rosa Mendes, Tamina Snuka, and Summer Rae in a traditional elimination tag team match at Survivor Series.
[26] On December 15 at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, Naomi, Cameron and Tensai abandoned Clay due to his attitude.

[50] Naomi then competed in a triple threat match against Paige and Nikki Bella at Elimination Chamber, however once again she failed to capture the title.
[51] On the July 13 episode of Raw, after weeks of the Divas division being dominated by The Bella Twins and their ally Alicia Fox, Stephanie McMahon called for a "Divas Revolution", subsequently introducing the debuting NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks to align with Naomi and Tamina, dubbed Team B.A.D., as well as Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch to align with Paige, leading to a brawl between the three teams.
[67] On February 12, Naomi defeated Bliss at Elimination Chamber, becoming the SmackDown Women's Champion for the first time in her career, as well as the first African-American woman to capture the title.
[74] She then went on to retain the title over Lana two more times on the June 27 and July 4 episodes of SmackDown, the latter of which involved a seven-second submission victory.
[81] On January 28, 2018, Naomi competed in the inaugural women's Royal Rumble match at the namesake pay-per-view, entering at number 20 and lasting 06:49 before she was eliminated by Nia Jax.
