WWE has taken even more shots at Sasha Banks and Naomi, so we’ll see what’s the latest.
We’ll also discuss the possibility of a big twist on Roman’s story
Let’s start things off with the latest on Sasha Banks and Naomi
This is starting to become a daily topic, but that’s because new information on this
topic keeps rolling in
The newest update was on Smackdown, where WWE went ahead with even more shots towards
Sasha Banks and Naomi
We talked about what happened on Raw, it shocked everyone to hear and see WWE address the walkout
live on air and force Corey Graves to call Sasha and Naomi unprofessional and takes shots
at them
Then WWE released their statement that we went over earlier in the week with their full
side of the story, again this is something we’ve never seen them do before, so everyone
was shocked that we even got that statement
Both the live commentary by Corey Graves and the WWE released statement had one goal in
mind, paint Sasha and Naomi as the villains
And that narrative continued again on Smackdown, Michael Cole was forced to go over the walkout
from Raw and give a whole recap of what happened
Michael Cole was then forced to say that Sasha Banks and Naomi “let us all down” and
mentioned how they’ve both been suspended indefinitely and stripped of the tag team
titles
There will now be a tournament to crown new women’s tag team champions
Like everyone pointed out, how is there gonna be a big tournament when there’s literally
no teams left in the division?
It looks like WWE will throw some teams together now for this tournament
Other fans pointed out how it took Sasha and Naomi walking away for for WWE to actually
give some attention to the women’s tag team titles
And that’s true, even in their absence, Sasha and Naomi are still helping the women’s
tag team division because now there’ll be a tournament for the division
The way WWE is handling the situation appears to be clear, they’re moving on and basically
taking the “we don’t need you approach” for Sasha and Naomi
Everyone was hopeful that maybe they can talk this out during the week, maybe smooth things
over to get these big stars back on television, but it doesn’t appear that WWE is interested
in that approach at all
They continue to take shots Sasha and Naomi at every chance they can and appear to be
done with them
Mark Henry had a big issue with WWE using Sasha and Naomi’s co-workers to take shots
at them, such as the Corey Graves remark, the Michael Cole line, and so on
Mark Henry said if that was his wife, he would’ve been marching down to that commentary table
every time they disrespect them like that
WWE is hammering this idea that they’re fully innocent and that Sasha and Naomi are
monsters for walking out for no good reason…that’s their narrative, but unfortunately for them,
no one is buying it
The more WWE tries to paint Sasha and Naomi as the villains, the more support they end
up getting from the fans and rightfully so
A lot of people are throwing up comparisons to Stone Cold Steve Austin’s WWE walkout
from the early 2000s
WWE did everything in their power to bury Stone Cold as much as they could and that
appears to be the plan with Sasha and Naomi
There’s even old documentary footage fans are digging up where Vince McMahon talks about
how the one thing you can never do in this business is walk out and not show up
He said the fans are expecting you to be there and how wrong it is
And all that is true, especially if a superstar just walks out for no reason, but the thing
with Sasha and Naomi is that they didn’t walk out for no reason like WWE is saying
in their narrative, they walked out for a huge reason
They’re the women’s tag team champions, they’re trying to elevate the tag team division,
bring more eyes to your titles…
all they wanted was reportedly just a title defense at Hell In A Cell, that’s all you
had to give them to keep them happy, but instead you say no and let them walk
So in reality, no side is fully wrong or fully right, everyone had a role to play with what
ended up happening
It wasn’t like Sasha and Naomi randomly woke up one morning during a great title reign
and decided to just quit the company, that’s not how it went down, there was definitely
a lot reasoning behind that move
As the reports claimed, Sasha and Naomi were in meetings all day trying to pitch ways to
make everyone happy, but the big man allegedly told them that it’s gonna be his way and
left them no choice
And since then, the latest is that WWE has fully taken down all of Sasha Banks and Naomi’s
merchandise items from WWE shop
If you try going to Sasha or Naomi’s pages on WWE shop, it will tell you that the page
doesn’t exist
WWE has also taken down Sasha and and Naomi’s Superstar Facebook pages as well
Sean Ross reached out to WWE for a statement on if Sasha and Naomi have been released and
WWE said that they’re were not released
As far as any sort of response from Sasha and Naomi…still nothing at all
The only thing Naomi has done was change her profile picture and banner on twitter and
remove all WWE references from her page
The only thing missing right now from this entire situation is a statement from Sasha
Banks and Naomi with their side of the story
WWE is doing everything they can right now to bury Sasha and Naomi’s images like they
did to Stone Cold and others, but things are different now, there’s social media and
Sasha and Naomi have their own platforms with millions of followers and fans right at their
disposal
So they can easily counter what WWE is trying to do to them by releasing their side of the
story, but for whatever reason, they’re not doing that right now
And like Booker T said, it’s hard to dive into this story only knowing one side to it,
we need to hear that other version to the story

In other news, there was another big defining moment for The Bloodline this week
The Usos, with the assistance of Roman Reigns, were able to defeat Riddle and Randy Orton
to become the new unified tag team champions
Fans have mixed reactions to the outcome of that match, but you do have to appreciate
history and greatness
We’ve never seen a faction quite like The Bloodline, where you have a undisputed world
champion and now undisputed tag team champions
The Bloodline is continuing to leave a bigger and bigger mark in the history books by the
day and truly making their case as being one of the most dominant factions in all of WWE
history, no doubt about that
It was a huge moment for them on Smackdown.
They proceeded to take out Riddle and the camera cut to so many fans who were extremely
disappointed
It was a big match that could’ve altered The Bloodline’s future in either direction
Roman made it clear that if The Usos lost that unified tag team title match, that he
no longer wanted anything to do with them
So it was a lot of pressure for The Usos heading into that match.
It was either win and make great history, or lose and get kicked out The Bloodline
But one very small and subtle moment that could potentially hint at something big coming
down the line happened in the opening segment
When Roman Reigns told the Usos what was at stake that night, he brought them in for a
hug and when he did that the camera focused on Roman’s face and he gave off a very evil
smirk
And that smirk alone is fueling a lot of theories
Roman smirked at a time where The Usos couldn’t see his face, so does that smirk refer to
something that he’s hiding or planning to do towards them?
Or was that smirk just because he knew he would come out later in the night and make
sure that the Usos win the unified tag team titles?
So as you can see, something as little and subtle as a smirk can mean so many different
things
Is Roman truly planning something behind the scenes against The Usos?
That smirk to the audience that the Usos couldn’t see just made it feel like something was going
on
Not to mention the fact that without Roman Reigns, The Usos would’ve never won the
unified tag team titles
So pay attention to that because that point is most definitely gonna come up again as
soon as some tension starts rising within The Bloodline
