Sasha Banks, an American professional wrestler, has been reportedly released by the WWE after she and her partner, Naomi, walked out of Monday Night Raw due to reported creative differences.
Sasha and Naomi left their WWE Women’s Tag Team titles behind, which have since been vacated by the business. It’s also been said that both performers were in the middle of negotiating new contracts at the time of the event.
They were reportedly concerned about the trajectory of the women’s tag team division, as well as facing “unsafe” opponents, according to Fightful Select.
Why Was Sasha Banks Released From WWE? Was She Fired?
Sasha Banks, whose real name is Mercedes Justine Kaestner-Varnado, has been suspended indefinitely after she walked out of Monday Night Raw. However, according to sources, she has been released by WWE.
Following an inquiry from PW Insider’s Mike Johnson, WWE stated the situation on Monday, claiming that the tag team champions walked into WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis’ office, laid the belts on his desk, and left during the broadcast.
To determine the No. 1 contender for Bianca Belair’s Raw Women’s Championship, Banks and Naomi were supposed to compete in a “six-pack challenge” battle.
Following the departure of Banks and Naomi, the contest was reduced to a singles battle between Asuka (the eventual winner) and Becky Lynch.
