Bianca Belair wants some big collaborations to take place in WWE, so we’ll see what
she had to say.
We’ll also get into a new update with Sasha Banks and Naomi, and much more
Let’s start things off with the latest on Sasha Banks and Naomi
Everyone is well aware of the story by now, Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out of WWE in
May after WWE had plans to have the both of them lose in singles world title matches rather
than having them defend their tag team titles
Sasha and Naomi didn’t defend their titles at Backlash and if they went through with
WWE’s plans, they’re weren’t going to be defending the tag titles at Hell In A Cell
either
So only a few weeks after their won the tag titles, they were well on their way of not
defending the women’s tag team titles at two straight premium live events
It got to the point where they were fed up and had enough of what they felt was disrespect
and decided to walk out of WWE
WWE blasted Sasha and Naomi on television, saying that they let the WWE universe down
The call to publicly blast Sasha and Naomi in that fashion multiple times on Raw and
Smackdown reportedly came from Vince McMahon himself
And after those few public blastings, Sasha and Naomi were never mentioned again and haven’t
been seen inside a WWE ring since
Not even the women’s tag team titles themselves have been seen ever since the walk out
The WWE status of Sasha Banks and Naomi has always been a weird situation over the last
few weeks
WWE has never flat out released a statement that said Sasha Banks and Naomi were officially
released, but all other signs seem to indicate that they have no current ties with WWE
Sasha Banks is even accepting bookings for appearances under her real name and that itself
is a another giveaway that she was granted her WWE release
Obviously WWE superstars on current active contracts aren’t allowed to accept outside
WWE bookings, so the fact that Sasha is accepting them let’s us pretty much know that she’s
free.
Same thing goes for Naomi
But before they sign elsewhere or start up other projects, fans wanna know if there’s
any shot at all of Sasha, Naomi, and WWE smoothing things out
Despite the first few weeks of blasting them on television, reports claim that there has
been several attempts to reconnect with Sasha and Naomi
The biggest change now is obviously that Vince McMahon is gone
Vince was the one that was colliding with the plans for the women’s tag team titles,
they were never a priority to him and that’s why they were out on the back burner with
him as the head of creative
He was also the one that had commentators come after Sasha and Naomi for multiple shows
following the walk out
So reports claim that WWE is allegedly trying to reconnect with them one last time to try
and fix everything
Obviously, WWE’s biggest sales pitch to them right now would be that Vince McMahon
is gone
They wouldn’t have to deal with him or work with him any longer.
Everything is going forward with Triple H as head of creative
Triple H has been there from the start of both Sasha and Naomi’s WWE careers
He was there in NXT when Sasha Banks was one of the core pieces of that women’s division
He’s always been a big supporter of women’s wrestling and giving them a platform, so pitching
to them that things will change now with him in charge would be their best shot of landing
Sasha and Naomi again
No one knows if will be enough to convince them to return to WWE, but it’s definitely
WWE’s best shot of getting them back
In a perfect world, Hypothetically speaking, it would be great to see Sasha and Naomi return
and get those women’s tag team titles right back around their waists
WWE hasn’t done anything with the titles since the walkout, they’ve pretty much been
semi-retired over these last few months
So if Sasha and Naomi did make this surprisingly unexpected return to WWE, they would be instantly
bringing a lot of attention back to the women’s tag team division
A women’s tag team division currently doesn’t exist in WWE, there’s literally no teams
besides Nikki and Do-drop, but if WWE can plan it out to build a division around the
returning Sasha Banks and Naomi then that would be perfect
You would have Sasha Banks and Naomi returning with all the fan attention on them and that’ll
be a great way to reintroduce the women’s tag team titles to WWE television in a big
way
Then maybe the women’s tag team division can truly start getting stronger and once
again be a great platform for all the talent in the women’s division
Obviously, there’s only one world title for the women on each brand, so it’s hard
to get everyone some TV time and highly feature them
but if the women’s tag team division gets strong again, that’s gonna present a lot
of opportunity for someone to make a name for themselves and eventually make that leap
into the world title scene
But that’s the latest with Sasha and Naomi.
Will they return or not?
Nobody knows, but at least WWE is reportedly trying to reach out to them
—————-
WWE and Celebrity collaborations often get mixed reactions from fans
Some fans like it, while other fans aren’t so high on the pop culture crossovers
WWE has had quite a few big collaborations over the last few years
They’ve had Bad Bunny, Johnny Knoxville, and Logan Paul
They were all great collaborations, but the only problem is that these big collaborations
are only happening in the men’s division
Bianca Belair recently spoke with Z-100 and talked about she wants to see a female celebrity
crossover in WWE, she had this to say, quote:
“We were just talking about how there’s been a lot of male crossover into WWE on the
male side, and when are we going to have a female?
Who’s going to be that female that’s going to crossover into WWE and really show up and
show out?
Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, Megan The Stallion, whoever wants to come out, I am a huge fan
of them.
They can come and get in the ring; we can tag team.
They can come and perform, bring me out, let me come out to their music, my entrance music.
Let’s collab.
Let’s make something happen!”
End quote
So Bianca Belair listed three massive names there off the top of her head, but she said
it can be anyone, she just wants to see a celebrity collaboration for the women’s
division
Obviously, the name on Bianca’s list that has the most “history”, per say, with
WWE is Cardi B
WWE has named dropped Cardi B on Raw before, she has talked about how obsessed she used
to be as a WWE fan, and constantly makes WWE references on her songs
WWE even used one of Cardi B’s songs as the theme song for Summerslam 2021
There was even other reports that Cardi B was supposed to host Summerslam 2021, but
all that obviously didn’t happen
WWE has been crazy about wanting to book Cardi B and she has said on multiple occasions that
she would be more than open to the collaboration as well
So Cardi B is the most likely collaboration there, but even Megan and Nicki Minaj have
some loose ties to WWE
WWE used one of Nicki Minaj’s first few tracks as a theme song for Victoria way back
in the day, long before Nicki’s rise to fame
And Megan even met Bianca Belair backstage at a festival in Summer 2021, so there’s
some sort of connection there with all three of the names Bianca listed
We just have to see if any of those collaborations actually come to life for the women’s division
But what are your thoughts on todays stories with Sasha Banks and Naomi, as well as what
Bianca Belair wants for the women’s division?
