As noted, Ariane Andrew recently appeared as a guest on the Wrestling Inc. Daily podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.

In addition to the highlights we previously posted here on the website from the extensive new interview with the former WWE Superstar and Total Divas cast member, the pro wrestling veteran who has also turned up in AEW in recent months spoke about her former Funkadactyls tag-team partner Naomi making her in-ring return as a surprise entrant in the 30-Woman Royal Rumble match at last month’s WWE Royal Rumble 2021 pay-per-view.

During the interview, Ariane also explained how she and Naomi are in a position to make history if they decided to team up as a tag-team again at some point in the future.

Featured below are some highlights from the interview where Ariane Andrew talks about Naomi’s return at the Royal Rumble PPV and how the two of them could make history if they chose to team up again down the line.

On Naomi’s return as a surprise entrant in the 30-Woman Royal Rumble match at last month’s WWE Royal Rumble 2021 PPV: “We’ve been talking a lot lately. We were talking like, ‘Bi**h, welcome back’ and all this stuff, and we’re just chatting about her being back. I really hope to see her really make some moves before she steps out of the ring. I’m a little bit older than her, which is so funny because I’d always think of her as Mama Bear. I’m a little bit older than her, and as you get older, trying to have kids, it gets even harder. I know she has such a love for being in the ring that it can get so easy that you just end up staying forever, but I definitely know for sure she’s still got some time. But eventually, at some point, I’m sure every girl there, they eventually want to move on and start to have a family.”

On the two of them being able to make history if they were to team together again: “You know what I say is whatever is meant for you, it’s already yours and what’s not meant to be, it was never meant to happen, and the thing is I am totally open. I still have a love for being in the ring. I still feel like I have so much to prove that I didn’t get a chance to show off, and I would love to have that opportunity. And I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, manifestation, I’m huge about that, putting that into the universe. I would love, even if it was a small run, to come back, re-team with Naomi, and make history, and get the tag team titles and be the first African-American, first Black women to ever have the titles. Just recently, someone had mentioned, ‘Oh, did you realize you had already made history. You two are the first Black (female) tag team,’ and I never had thought about that, but it would be great to come back and shake things up a little bit. I feel like we made a great team, and I felt like we were a real tag team not just some stuff thrown together and being like, ‘okay, we’re just gonna make these two people tag team partners, not really build a story. Here’s the titles.’ We have history.”
