It’s been nonstop updates for Sasha Banks and Naomi over the last few days so we’ll
check out the latest news there.
We’ll also see why Stephanie McMahon just left the WWE, a top star that was written
off, and much more
Let’s start things off with the latest on Sasha Banks and Naomi
The story is slowly getting more clear as the days go on, but still…nothing is truly
locked in and for certain
But the latest update to this big story puts Vince McMahon at the forefront of the blame
for the walkout
When Sasha Banks and Naomi were approached with the idea of the both of them competing
in singles matches at Hell In A Cell for the the Raw and Smackdown women’s championship,
they countered that pitch by suggesting that they defend their women’s tag team titles
at Hell In A Cell against a team like Do-drop and Nikki instead
Which makes sense, doesn’t sound like their counter pitch was asking for much
They basically just said “let us defend the women’s tag team titles at Hell In A
Cell and give those world title matches to some upcoming stars in the women’s division.”
Reports claim that Vince McMahon paid no mind to that counter pitch and insisted for them
to do things his way only and that’s apparently when the walkout happen
Now over the last days it has turned into a massive controversy amongst the wrestling
community.
People are for the walkout, other people are against it, but when you really look at the
totality of everything, it doesn’t seem like Sasha and Naomi were asking for much,
they were the tag team champions and all they wanted to do was defend their tag team titles
They weren’t asking for much, they just wanted to do what they were expected to do
as tag team champions, and that’s defend the titles
And somehow, it has turned into this massive situation
If this truly is the context of what happened with the walkout then it looks like this could’ve
been so easily avoided
All they had to do was give Sasha and Naomi a title defense at Hell In A Cell and Sasha
and Naomi would still be there right now
So you lose Sasha and Naomi just because you refused to give them a title defense for their
titles, that’s a huge price to pay for something that could’ve been easily fixed by WWE
Speaking of Sasha and Naomi, apparently both of their contracts are coming up within the
last few months
It was was previously reported that Sasha was expiring in 2023, but apparently not,
reports claim that Sasha and Naomi’s deals are both up this year
So it’s not like an Ali situation, where he was gonna have to sit out a few years to
get out of his contract…Sasha and Naomi only have a few months left, so they don’t
have to sit around for that long to be freed from their contracts
If WWE decided to cut ties with them and take the loss, Sasha and Naomi will be fully freed
in a matter of months
Mickie James recently appeared on Busted Open Radio and shared her thoughts on the situation,
saying this, quote:
“That’s probably more about what this is, unpacking it all, if they were pouring
their love into something and feeling like it wasn’t valued.
That’s very frustrating.
We can all understand being frustrated at time.
I’m sure we’ve all had our gripes.
You think it’s the power of social media, but WWE is the one that pulled the trigger
on letting the cat out of the bag.
People are only hearing that one side of it…
Honestly, when I saw the statement, I was a bit in shock that WWE would even put out
the statement.
Because I couldn't believe that Vince signed off on the statement.”
End quote
Mickie brings up another great point that everyone talked about right away and that
was the statement
WWE never talks about anything that happens backstage, everything always stays under wraps.
So to see them release their entire side of the story on their website, Twitter, Instagram,
and all of their platforms was very insane to see
That’s part of what raised some suspicions about this situation being real or not because
WWE has never done anything like that in the past
They’ve never released a statement on a backstage situation like this ever before,
so Mickie James was in shock that Vince McMahon would let the world in on a backstage situation
like that
Booker T also addressed the situation on his show and had this to say, quote:
“I want to hear from Sasha Banks.
I want to hear from Naomi in some form.
I mean, normally these young people these days, the first thing that happens, they want
to put it on Twitter.
We ain’t seen nothing from Naomi and Sasha.
I think until we hear their side, it’s kind of hard to really dive all the way into it.”
End quote
And this is another great point that everyone was also asking about
If Sasha and Naomi feel like they’re truly done with WWE, they’re never going back,
this was all legit… then why not release your side of the story
WWE went in on them during Raw and with that statement.
And now you have all these reports and rumors about what allegedly happen, so why not release
your own official statement with your side of what went down
it’s just really hard to dive into the story when you have one side of the story and the
other half is just completely silent on the topic
Little missing details like that is what’s raising these WWE conspiracy theorists to
wonder if this is a storyline or not
If this is a storyline or WWE is able to get Sasha and Naomi back and turn this into a
storyline then that would be brilliant
Everyone was talking about this walkout, so all eyes on Sasha and Naomi right now and
this walkout has even brought attention to the women’s tag team titles
So it’ll be interesting to see what WWE does with this situation and if we’ll ever
hear from Sasha and Naomi

In other news, Stephanie McMahon is stepping away from WWE for the time being
Stephanie took to Twitter and had this to say, quote:
“As of tomorrow, I am taking a leave of absence from the majority of my responsibilities
at WWE.
WWE is a lifelong legacy for me and I look forward to returning to the company that I
love after taking this time to focus on my family.”
End quote
A lot of fans were shocked and scared by this news, especially after Stephanie dropped this
news only a few days after the walkout, fans were just trying to figure out what’s going
on
Well according to reports, Stephanie McMahon’s reasoning for stepping down is right there
in that tweet
Stephanie will be taking this time away from WWE to spend time and focus on her family
Like a lot fans brought up, the end of last year was a bit hectic for Stephanie McMahon
She was running all of her usual operations in WWE and fully taking care of her household
as well since Triple H was down and out for several months following his cardiac procedure
So Stephanie was doing it all by herself at home and in WWE
But things are getting better now, it was just reported that Triple H is now back to
working in WWE full time following his successful recovery
So now that Triple H is back in the office, it looks like Stephanie McMahon will be the
one resting at home after the hectic year she has had
There’s reportedly no time table for Stephanie’s return
Stephanie did say that it’s not forever and that she will be back eventually.

Mad Cap Moss recently turned babyface and was off to a hot start with the fans being
behind him
So some fans where a bit confused to see him written off TV after building up a lot of
momentum
Well reports claim that the reason behind Moss being written off is so that they can
work on a gimmick change for his character now that he’s a babyface, so be on the lookout
for a new character change for him when he’s back
