A popular wrestling duo created headlines in 2022 as they walked out of the WWE resulting in one of the most memorable moments in the company’s history. The two women, Naomi and Sasha Banks, who walked out from the arena to bring change to the company, brought about mixed reactions from fans. But in the long run, it proved to be a blessing as the backstage officials finally started showing attention towards the Women’s tag division on TV and PLEs, but there’s a way to go.
But what about Sasha and Naomi? For months, fans speculated that they would return, eventually. Those speculations quickly crumbled when Banks arrived in NJPW as Mercedes Mone. This left Naomi in limbo. For months after that, the former WWE star didn’t disclose any details. She kept showing up in premiers and fashion shows and supporting Mone as well.

Fans were determined to see Naomi come out as #30 at this year’s Royal Rumble. But the Rumble passed by a month ago, and she didn’t show up. Now, the WWE Universe is privy to getting to know the real reason for Naomi’s absence from any kind of wrestling news through her former partner in WWE, Cameron.

Many people thought that Sasha was the only one benefitting from the walkout, but no one knew about this.
Hopefully the weird narrative that Mercedes left her behind can stop now lol https://t.co/GmL0y6g9nU
