Sasha Banks and Naomi won the Women’s Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 38 in a fatal 4-way match.
The two fan favorites went on to successfully defended their titles against the teams of Liv Morgan-Rhea Ripley and Natalya-Shayna Baszler.
Sasha Banks and Naomi were scheduled to compete in a six-pack challenge to determine the No. 1 contender for Bianca Belair’s Raw Women’s Championship. However, the Boss was not happy with the creative direction planned for the match.
WWE released a statement where they expressed their regret to the WWE fans for not being able to deliver a scheduled match. The Statement revealed that Sasha Banks and Naomi entered the Head of Talent Relations, John Laurinaitis’ office, and kept their titles on his table before leaving the building.
Michael Cole announced on this week’s episode of SmackDown that Banks and Naomi let down the WWE Universe. He revealed that WWE has suspended them indefinitely post their conduct. To make matters worse for the two veterans, Cole informed that they will no longer remain the Women’s Tag Team Champions. A tournament will be held to crown the new champions.
Fans were concerned about what punishment WWE will hand Sasha Banks and Naomi. They were firmly voicing their opinions and standing beside the two friends. However, this news will certainly be a tough pill to swallow for the many fans of Boss N’ Glow.
Many wrestlers also stood in solidarity with Banks and Naomi. The likes of Dax Harwood, Bayley, Mickie James, and more, tweeted their support for the two decorated wrestlers.
Let’s find out how the fans have reacted on Twitter to the punishment handed to Banks and Naomi:
Meanwhile, WWE has pulled all Sasha Banks and Naomi merchandise from its official website. Now it would be interesting to see how WWE manages to make enough tag teams in order to have a tournament. Currently, there are only a couple of women’s tag teams on the main roster. Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H. on Raw and Natalya and Shayna Baszler on SmackDown.
