Naomi is the latest example of a wrestler who is expecting a child during her career, which presents an exciting opportunity for her. She and Jimmy Uso are set to take the next step in their relationship, which the WWE Universe has been congratulating them on ever since, due to their popularity as a couple.

Naomi has since admitted that they had been having difficulties conceiving, and that makes this moment even more special for her and Jimmy. There's no doubt she will be back inside the ring, and Naomi should continue working at a high level.

Ronda Rousey

• Ronda Rousey had a child with Travis Browne.
• Rousey returned to WWE after having a baby.
• She's since gone on to have another child post-WWE.

Ronda Rousey was often regarded as one of the toughest women on the planet, largely due to the damage she inflicted inside the octagon during her MMA career. However, she also proved that by how quickly she returned to the wrestling ring after becoming a mother, revealing a new side of herself.

Rousey returned to win the 2022 women's Royal Rumble match, and she went on to have another run in WWE as a mother, showcasing a different side to herself. That run may not have been as popular as her first stint in WWE, but it showcased her commitment to the business.

Becky Lynch

• Lynch is married to WWE Superstar Seth Rollins.
• They had a daughter together.
• Becky returned to WWE and continued to excel.

Becky Lynch wasn't the first wrestler to decide to leave the business to become a mother, but she was certainly the most high-profile. Lynch was at the absolute pinnacle of WWE when she swapped the WWE ring for motherhood, but that bold decision will undoubtedly have driven progress forward for women.

Lynch stepped away from WWE as a champion to become a mother, and then returned at the highest level once again. She immediately got back to winning titles and dominating the business, showcasing what can be achieved.

Beth Phoenix

• She is married to Adam Copeland, formerly Edge in WWE.
• She has two daughters.
• Phoenix is a WWE Hall of Famer.

Most fans presumed that Beth Phoenix had retired from professional wrestling after she walked away from the business to start a family with her husband, Adam Copeland. Phoenix spent a long time out of the ring, and then slowly began transitioning back, starting with a role as a WWE NXT commentator.

However, she soon got back into the ring, getting to work with some of today's talent. She was also able to team with her husband in a true full circle moment for her career, not missing a beat with her performances.

Candice LeRae

• LeRae is married to Johnny Gargano.
• She has a young son.
• LeRae is working with her husband on WWE TV right now.

Candice LeRae is one of the finest performers in WWE's current women's division from a technical standpoint, and she does it all as a mother. She and Johnny Gargano opted to become parents as they both took time away from the ring, in what was a great move.

Fans appreciated seeing them prioritize being parents, but their love for wrestling eventually brought them back. Now they juggle being full-time parents with WWE's schedule, which is impressive to see.

Alexa Bliss

• Alexa is married to singer Ryan Cabrera.
• She had a daughter.
• Bliss is now in a tag team with Charlotte Flair.

Alexa Bliss is an example of someone who recently returned from becoming a mother, as she made her way back to WWE at the start of this year as a surprise Royal Rumble entrant. It was a moment fans had been patiently waiting for due to her popularity, and Bliss hasn't lost a step inside the ring.

Bliss has already captured the Women's Tag Team Titles since returning, proving that she's going to be operating at a high level once again. It's proof that moms can still thrive in the business, with Bliss performing to the same high standard as before.

Nikki Bella

• Nikki Bella has a boy named Mateo.
• Bella went through a public divorce this year.
• She recently returned to WWE.

Nikki Bella completed her career and began to wind down her involvement in wrestling after having a child, seemingly following the traditional mindset of leaving wrestling to start a family. After having a Hall of Fame career, it would have been very easy to move on to other things, but instead, she's returned multiple times to WWE.

Nikki is enjoying another full-time run with WWE right now, and is proving that not only can she do it as a mom, but she can hang with an entirely new generation of wrestlers, adding even more to her legacy.
