Things seem to only get surreal between WWE, Sasha Banks, and Naomi, and after yesterday, WWE continued removing former WWE Champions from women’s tag team wives from just about everything. We found out last night that Banks, Naomi and all of their merchandise have been removed from the WWE Store, as well as the official WWE Facebook pages. Now Wrestling News has noted that WWE has removed Banks and Naomi from their TV presenters for SmackDown and NXT Level Up, and will assume that this will be the same next week on Raw and NXT.
WWE has also taken up the situation with Banks and Naomi several times on WWE TV at this point, including on the Raw episode in which they pulled out prior to their SmackDown match last night. During the episode, Michael Cole summed up what happened and revealed that WWE had suspended the duo indefinitely.

Banks and Naomi are reported to have handed over the titles before leaving the arena prior to Monday Night Raw, so while WWE couldn’t take the titles away from them, they are holding a new tournament to determine the next doubles tag team champions. Naomi and Banks have yet to comment on any of what happened, but hopefully we’ll find out more concrete details about this whole situation soon.
For the Women’s Tag Team Championship, WWE doesn’t have many options without attracting some extra people from NXT. This has been part of the problem for the Tag Team division in general, and especially the women’s tag division, where teams often only last for a short time before splitting or turning on each other. Other teams are used to building others, and while they can be built back up for content, this is not something that can be done overnight.
We’ll have to wait and see what happens with the tournament and with Naomi and Banks in general, but in the meantime, let us know what you think in the comments. You can also talk about all things wrestling with me on Twitter @MattAguilarCB!
