Naomi Not Medically Cleared; Perez Upsets SKY on Raw

Naomi was pulled from her scheduled WWE Women’s World Championship defense on Monday Night Raw after being deemed not medically cleared to compete, a development that upended plans for the flagship title on the Quebec City show and prompted a rapid shift in the night’s lineup. With Naomi sidelined, IYO SKY's bid to reclaim the title took an abrupt turn, and WWE moved to a last-minute singles match featuring SKY against Roxanne Perez, as officials sought to keep the program moving while preserving long-running storylines.

The core match between Naomi and SKY, previously promoted as Naomi’s first unbroken defense since cashing in the Money in the Bank contract at Evolution, did not occur. WWE publicly announced that Naomi was not medically cleared to wrestle, a statement that confirmed travel or other issues were not the cause of the cancellation. A backstage presence by Naomi was later noted, effectively dispelling rumors that travel problems had kept her off screen. The exact nature of her condition remains undisclosed, and discussions within the company at the time suggested the issue was being treated as a medical matter not intended for immediate public disclosure.
