Sasha Banks has been making the headlines since a controversial action backstage on Monday Night RAW. It was noted that WWE stars referred to her privately as a ‘diva’ and a ‘mark.’ She and Naomi walked out of Raw due to creative issues with Vince McMahon.
There have been various sides to the story already reported, including that the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions confronted WWE Chairman Vince McMahon over their issue. WWE left that part out of their official narrative, but Banks and Naomi did have words with the boss. In the official statement from the company, it was noted that Sasha Banks and Naomi dropped their tag titles on the desk of John Laurinaitis and left the building.
Sasha Banks was rumored to be removed from upcoming live shows
A pro-wrestling media outlet recently reported that WWE had pulled Banks and Naomi from the promotion’s upcoming live events. The tweet highlighting this report was met with a response from Banks’ husband, Sarath Ton (a.k.a Mikaze). He didn’t mince his words while calling out the report on Twitter.
He wrote:
“The bull**it being spewed is next level”

WWE had decided to change the main event on RAW. The original plan was for Sasha Banks, Naomi, Becky Lynch, Asuka, Doudrop, and Nikki A.S.H. to compete for a shot at Belair’s title. Once Sasha and Naomi left the venue, things were up in the air. WWE decided to go with a singles match between Becky Lynch and Asuka to determine a new #1 contender.
It has been reported that McMahon was at the gorilla position and ordered the segments to be shot on the fly. Banks and Naomi thought they got the six pack challenge canceled where Naomi would pin Banks and then go on to lose to Belair at Hell in a Cell in favor of a tag match against Doudrop and Nikki Ash where a post match beatdown would lead to a new program. Molly Holly then told Naomi and Banks the six pack was on, leading to them storming out.
