Sasha Banks and Naomi indefinitely suspended by WWE
PWInsider and Fightful both reporting Sasha Banks has walked out of RAW following a fight backstage with Vince McMahon over creative. Naomi left with her.
Sasha/Naomi were scheduled to be in the main-event of RAW at the start of the show but that has now been changed. https://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=158986

I turned on RAW and they had Corey Graves bury them on TV saying they unprofessionally walked out and the main-event was changed as a result.

Facts be dammed.
Sasha, I’m not surprised at all. She was on the brink of quitting before and this isn’t the first time she’s been unhappy with creative. Especially as a tag champ. She hits the open market and she’s going to be the top free agent woman’s wrestler. Easily, IMO. Naomi surprises me more. But good for her for backing her partner. She’s very talented and seeing outside the WWE style of wrestling is interesting, if this does lead to their release. Of course Graves was gonna bury them. He’s got a job to do. |

Seems odd that WWE put out that statement when usually "card subject to change" is their go-to reason. Who knows if we'll find out the details here but this is way more interesting than pretty much anything the women's tag team division has done on TV.

Should have gone out there and walked out mid-match Jeff Hardy style. Make a statement. Missed opportunity.

It is not great optics that if this were say Randy Orton or Charlotte Flair they would likely be given a 'vacation' for arguing with Vince or it'd be forgiven a week later but two black women are called 'unprofessional' on air and then a Press Release immediately goes out saying they have a 'bad attitude'
I mean, someone didn't think that one through... |

The statement WWE put out has me convinced this is a work. Extremely off brand for them. Also I'd believe it 100x more if it was just Sasha walking out.

I mean if that one account is true, they didn't really want the tag titles in the first place even though I guess they made it work. But how many teams are there for them to feud with that arent just utter ass? -2, maybe. So for them to get upset that they are being put into 2 main event tier title programs while they wait for something to develop in the tag scene seems....really weird to me. Feuding with Bianca/Ronda is a way bigger spotlight on both of them than languishing in the tag scene with nothing to do.

no ammount of unprofessionalism is going to solve the issue that there simply arent enough tv ready women's wrestlers to have 2 divisions on 2 brands.

The statement put out by WWE is the weirdest part of this. One, they never put out a statement like this ever. And two, this company does public relations as well as anyone. They are so protective of their image and brand. And yet that’s the statement they put out? It looks like it was written in about 3 minutes and publicly calls out their own employees while breaking kayfabe. It’s so sloppy and really out of character for a company that tries to keep such a polished image.
