Interestingly, Perry ended up having more than just one title shot against Naomi, and in the interview, she claimed there was a specific reason for that.

“So I was actually supposed to only have one title match against Naomi,” she recalled. “And then Vince was like: ‘I loved that! Let’s do another one!’ So, you know, we do another one and then, you know, Lana – just being a heel – her shoulder wasn’t fully pinned…” 

Perry took that fact over onto X (formerly known as Twitter), directly making a post at then-GM Shane McMahon, calling the pin out, but things didn’t work out too well for her.

“Creative didn’t like that; they thought I went into business for myself, and I genuinely didn’t! I just thought … I wasn’t trying to get a rematch; I didn’t think they’d give me a rematch for real!” she claimed. “I got a text from the head showrunner and like: ‘You can’t do that’ and ‘Vince thought you were doing that intentionally’ and I was like: ‘No! I’m not!’ I explained myself to Vince, of course. He’s like: ‘It’s fine, it’s fine, just clear those things first.'”
