Wrestlers React To Sasha Banks And Naomi Walking Out Of WWE

On Monday the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions walked out of Raw following a disagreement regarding the main event, and WWE later released a statement confirming reports of the walkout. Wrestlers and fans have been talking about the walkout on social media, and you can see some of the reactions from the wrestling world below.

It was recently reported that the tension was palpable leading up to the walkout and that both Superstars were upset with something that had transpired. You can get more on that here.

As we previously reported WWE issued the following statement on the walkout:

“When Sasha Banks and Naomi arrived at the arena this afternoon, they were informed of their participation in the main event of tonight’s Monday Night Raw.

During the broadcast, they walked into WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis’ office with their suitcases in hand, placed their tag team championship belts on his desk, and walked out.

They claimed they weren’t respected enough as tag team champions. And even though they had eight hours to rehearse and construct their match, they claimed they were uncomfortable in the ring with two of their opponents – even though they’d had matches with those individuals in the past with no consequence.

Monday Night Raw is a scripted live TV show, whose characters are expected to perform the requirements of their contract. We regret we were unable to deliver, as advertised, tonight’s main event.”

Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
