Sasha Banks may have just found a way to her WWE release, so we’ll see what’s the latest
update with that situation.
We’ll also check out the bad news for Randy Orton, the latest major news for Vince McMahon’s
WWE status, and much more
Let’s start things off with everything related to Sasha Banks, what the latest there?
Well there are a lot of rumors and reports surrounding Sasha Banks’ WWE status
Some usually reliable individuals came out and reported that they’re hearing word that
Sasha Banks was released from WWE
Sean Ross, who’s one of the biggest wrestling journalists and reporters out there, said
that he hasn’t heard any confirmed news of Sasha’s release, but he did give credit
to the individual reporting about Sasha’s release and did say that they’ve had good
sources and broke stories in the past
So no official word right now at the time of this recording, but the big word on the
street is that Sasha Banks may be granted her release from WWE
Sasha’s contract was rumored to be expiring sometime next year and with the current walk
out situation, there was no telling how much time WWE would’ve tagged onto her contract,
so that was another scary reality that could’ve came from this situation
Every single day that Sasha has missed since the walkout, very well could’ve been added
back to the end of her current deal
And if you’re done with WWE and trying to get out of that contract, that would obviously
be a nightmare to deal with all that frozen time being added back
You won’t be making any progress to getting towards the end of the contract, you’ll
pretty much be standing in place
So reports are now claiming that one of those things Sasha and her legal team are focusing
on is a hassle free release from WWE for Sasha Banks
So that’s allegedly their main focus right now during this entire legal battle
Like we were just talking about, Some reports and sites claim that Sasha has already won
that battle and was granted her release, but WWE has yet to officially confirm the news
So Sasha’s WWE release, at least in this very moment in time, is just a big rumor,
but either way, it would appear that the whole process of her getting a release from WWE
could be well under way
The Sasha Banks and Naomi situation has been quiet for weeks, but if this truly is what
sasha and her team is fighting for then it really is over
There’s no shot of Sasha Banks returning to WWE and we have already seen her last WWE
appearance and match
The future for Sasha Banks’ career is limitless.
She can continue her pro wrestling career elsewhere or maybe she just starts focusing
in on her acting career and leaves pro wrestling behind her
There were a lot of fans that felt like Sasha wouldn’t resign a new deal with WWE after
2023, a lot of fans had a feeling that Sasha Banks would move onto bigger things after
that expiration, but thanks to the walkout situation, she gets to possibly leave even
earlier than everyone originally thought
So again, the release hasn’t been confirmed by WWE themselves, but it looks like the process
of Sasha fighting for her release may be well under way at this very moment
So Sasha is more than likely done right now in WWE
Will she consider a return down the line a few years from now?
Well if things are different with the whole WWE operation than maybe they could convince
her to return down the line, but as of right now, Sasha appears to be fully finished
As far as Naomi goes, sure they technically walked out together, but she’s of course
another completely separate individual
Naomi’s situation and how she’s dealing with this may be different from Sasha Banks,
or it may be similar…it’s too early to tell
While reports claim Sasha is deep into the battle for her WWE release, things have been
pretty silent for Naomi
Despite there being no rumors of Naomi being granted her WWE release, it just doesn’t
seem like she’ll be returning either anytime soon
But that’s the latest on Sasha Banks and Naomi, Sasha may very well be granted her
freedom from WWE in the immediate future

One of the biggest stories of the week was the Wall Street Journal putting out a very
detailed article about some serious misconduct allegations towards some of WWE’s biggest
individuals including Vince McMahon and other high-ups in the company
The article talked about how a woman was allegedly brought into the company on a 100,000 dollar
salary to start off with
But the WSJ reports that once McMahon and the woman started having an affair, her salary
was then boosted up to 200,000 dollars
They also claim that McMahon was also allegedly passing the woman onto some of his higher-up
friends in the front office of WWE
They go onto say that the woman has since left WWE, but was given 3 million dollars
as basically hush money to keep her silence on the entire experience in WWE
The report blew up online, especially considering the fact that it came from one of the largest
outlets out there with the Wall Street Journal
Vince McMahon and WWE were silent on the situation until Friday morning on June 17th
They announced that Vince McMahon would be temporarily stepping down as acting CEO and
chairman of WWE until after the investigation has been completed
Taking his spot as new CEO and chairwoman of WWE is Stephanie McMahon
It’s also pretty crazy because Stephanie McMahon had just finished leaving WWE herself
and was just about to start her own hiatus away from WWE
But now Stephanie McMahon’s break is forced to end extremely prematurely because they
needed an interim CEO, so Stephanie is back
There was a lot of negative light coming their way, but WWE did find a way to capitalize
on the news and announced that Vince McMahon would appear on Smackdown
So having him on the show at the start of these massive allegations going public was
definitely a ratings ploy to get fans to tune and see what he was gonna say
So some fans thought that was a dirty move from them to use the situation to pull in
extra ratings, but it’s what they did
There’s no telling how long this investigation may go on for.
Of course this is as heavy as it gets when it comes to misconduct allegations, so it
should be a very in-depth investigation that will last a while
There were a lot of other well known names listed on that WSJ report, so maybe those
individuals will step back from their roles as well for the time being
Of course the buck always stops with Vince McMahon for when it comes to what we see on
WWE television, so with him stepping down while the investigation is underway, it could
lead to a potential slight change on the television product itself
But stepping down was the right move, you don’t wanna be a continued distraction to
the company with massive allegations hanging over your shoulder, so it had to be done
The only thing we’ll have to wait on now is of course the result of the WWE investigation.
Those results will affect WWE in a big way either way, so it’ll be a long wait to see
what the future holds for WWE

Some unfortunate news also came out recently for Randy Orton
Orton went on a little hiatus after losing the Raw tag team titles, but it was a popular
rumor that he would take on Roman Reigns in the main event of Summerslam
Well that rumor was flipped upside down recently when a new report came out that claimed Randy
Orton may need a back surgery done that would keep him out action for the remainder of 2022
It’s currently unknown if Orton is gonna go through with the surgery or not, but if
he does, we may not see him until 2023 and Roman Reigns would need a new Summerslam opponent
