Liv Morgan recently had a big moment on Raw along with some other huge wins, so we’ll
see the latest with her.
We’ll also check out the latest on Sasha Banks and Naomi, as well as what Santino Marella
is saying
Let’s start things off with the latest information and updates on Sasha Banks and Naomi
The latest piece of solid information comes from a new report by Wrestling Inc
Wrestling Inc was also the first to break the news that Sasha Banks had been officially
been released from WWE a few weeks ago and now they’re providing some more context
They had this to say about Sasha Banks’ WWE status, quote:
"Here's what we know about Sasha Banks.
She was released on June 10th and it came from Erika Schreiber, VP of Business and Legal
Affairs for Talent Relations.
As for why WWE has not said anything or removed her, the rumor is that leadership is trying
to smooth things over".
End quote
That report came out right after another report stated that Sasha Banks and Naomi were both
still listed on the internal roster as of the last week of June 2022
So in terms of just mass confusion, that’s what the Sasha Banks and Naomi situation still
is
But according to the most reliable sources and reports, Sasha Banks has technically been
released from WWE for several weeks now, but it appears that WWE refuses to make the news
about the release public because they’re in the process of trying to smooth things
out and getting her to return
So it looks like before they do make the news public information that she’s gone, they’re
gonna throw some last resort efforts at her to try to get her back
If Sasha still doesn’t accept whatever they’re offering her and is locked in on staying released,
then maybe that’s when the news of Sasha’s release will become official
So Sasha is still listed on WWE’s internal roster, but she has technically been released
since June 10, 2022
Naomi’s situation is still radio silent.
There’s been no rumors about naomi being quietly granted her release, so in Naomi’s
case, she’s still technically suspended, but still officially on the roster
So it’s still very confusing, Sasha Banks and Naomi are both still listed on the active
WWE roster, but one is said to have been released weeks ago, while nothing appears to going
on with the other
Is this also why we haven’t seen the womens tag team titles tournament yet?
Does WWE think there’s a chance to get Sasha Banks and Naomi back and hand them back the
titles?
No one really knows at this current moment of time, but that’s the latest so far on
Sasha Banks and Naomi
——————-
Liv Morgan is quietly having a very nice year in 2022
She kicked off the year in the middle of a great title feud with Becky Lynch
Besides the obvious storyline with Bianca Belair, Becky’s story with Liv Morgan was
one of the best stories from Becky’s title reign
Liv Morgan was unsuccessful in her chase for the Raw women’s title, but her momentum
never really stopped
She went onto defeat Rhea Ripley, Sasha Banks, and most recently…Alexa Bliss
Those are three big wins in 2022 against all former woman’s champions and some of the
best active superstars on the roster
A Liv Morgan fan pointed that stat out to Liv Morgan and Liv did repost it
So sure, Liv isn’t in the title picture or holding any title right now, but that’s
still a couple of massive wins for Liv in 2022 alone
We sort of saw something similar last summer
Liv Morgan had the most momentum and story heading into the 2021 womens Money in the
Bank match, so much momentum that a lot of fans thought she was a decent pick last year
to win the match, but that unfortunately didn’t happen
In 2022, same sort of thing again
Liv broke up with Rhea Ripley, but didn’t fade into the background
She kept that momentum rolling, formed a short term alliance with Alexa Bliss, then defeated
Alexa, and kept rolling on with all that momentum
Even if Liv Morgan doesn’t win that money in the bank contract, she still appears to
be on pace to finish out the second half of the year in a big way
Maybe she gets back into the Raw woman’s title picture or maybe she gets involved in
the womens tag team division again as well
Liv Morgan has spent a majority of the last few years inside of the tag team division
with several partners, but was never able to capture the womens tag team titles with
any of those multiple partners
So it sort of feels like an unfinished little arc there for Liv Morgan
She started this journey years ago in the tag team division, been with several partners,
but was never able to top the journey off by actually winning the woman’s tag team
titles
So why not come back and revisit that story for Liv Morgan to finally put an end to that
journey and capture the titles
Of course the most likely new partner for Liv Morgan appears to be Alexa Bliss
They’ve spent the last few weeks always around each other, but never officially became
a tag team with each other
So will Liv and Alexa officially form their tag team after Money In The Bank concludes?
Because if neither Liv and Alexa secures that Money In The Bank contract, they’ll both
really be in a limbo sort of state with not much to do, so maybe WWE has been teasing
the team so much because that’s what’s in store for them here in the coming weeks
Like Alexa said in a recent interview, she would love to team with Liv Morgan, but also
pointed out how all of her tag teams have ended in bad experiences
So maybe that’s the case for Alexa and Liv as well
Maybe they start off strong, capture the titles, but after a while, maybe we do see one of
them turn on each other
Most likely Alexa Bliss because it’ll be a great way to get heel Alexa back, while
continuing to build up the fan support for Liv Morgan

One of NXT’s newest superstars is Arianna Grace
Majority of fans are already aware of this fact, but Arianna is the daughter of former
WWE superstar Santino Marella
It wasn’t that long ago that Santino was taking to Twitter to tell WWE to give his
daughter a shot and how he knows he’ll be in the crowd for one of her Wrestlemania matches
Only a few months later, Arianna was signed to WWE and wrestling on national television
on NXT
But one thing that Santino Marella has mixed feelings about is how WWE is now changing
the last name of second and third generation superstars, he had this to say during a recent
appearance on Mailbag Monday, quote:
“I wish someone could explain the logic behind it.
It’s fine, if my daughter was ‘Arianna Marella,’ I don’t see a problem with that.
They started that at first with Curtis Axel, Mr. Perfect’s son, but everybody knew who
he was.
I think there’s some equity in being the second generation, but it’s great for her
too because when you’re a second or third-generation wrestler, it’s really important for them
to know that they’ve earned this and they’re not just getting a free pass because of who
their parents are.”
End quote
So Santino brings up a good point and spoke on the behalf on both sides of the argument
You have your superstars that do have their family names such as Cody Rhodes and Charlotte
Flair, same last name as their wrestling family members that came before them
But on the flip side, WWE has decided to fully remove the family name from new superstars
Solo Sikoa has his own unique name that’s different from his family.
The Rock’s daughter has been through some different ring names.
And now obviously, Arianna Grace is not “Arianna Marella”
Santino said that he would’ve loved if her name was Arianna Marella, but how at the same
time he understands that the reason behind them changing last names is because how they
probably want that individual to be their own star and their own person
