Anyone else feel that Naomi was lead astray by Banks?
Like, no disrespect, but out of Sasha and Naomi, Naomi was the Jannetty... I feel like if she teamed with anyone else she wouldn't have left the company. I'd speculate that Banks was the driving force in orchestrating the walk out, knowing her worth as a wrestler and having acting work too, she can afford to take the chance on walking out of WWE
I'm sure financially Naomi is fine, but damn man with the reports that Banks is working a NJPW show and that she's being paid marginally more than Jericho did for his stint there, just makes me feel bad for Naomi she's kinda been forgotten in this crap storm.
Edit: also find it weird how people hated the idea of Sasha vs Naomi as they were tag champs, but were creaming their drawers to Dax vs Cash...

Naomi has a connection to the top guy/tag team so I'm sure the door is always open.

yeah she totally messed up, she is just lucky she is married into the hottest TV angle all year (possible in many years).
personally I wonder how it went down with the family behind the scenes, she basically walked out on their business and legacy, we will know one day for sure

I find it hilarious that anyone believes Sasha is worth as much as or even more than Jericho. At any point in his career Jericho has been worth more than Botch Banks, whether it was the liontamer or 50 year old painted face flabby veteran. Still draws more.

Is Sasha Banks even this huge crossover star that everyone says she is? Her Wiki page says she's only been in one thing that isn't WWE related in her entire career, and even then it was only 2 episodes.

I get everyone has their fan bases but hers were literally saying WWE couldn't survive without her....the company that has parted ways with Hogan, Savage, Warrior, Austin, Rock and Cena couldn't survive with out Sasha Banks? GTFOH!

I don't get why any company would even want her. The moment she doesn't get her own way she will walk.

I feel bad for Naomi because Sasha got in her head and it ended up screwing Naomi over, but she has the Bloodline ties so I'm sure she'll be alright.

Sasha is a draw. You’re kidding yourself if you believe otherwise.
Big fan of Naomi. Think she will eventually return to the company. If not, AEWs women division definitely could use a more establ

Anyone else feel that Naomi was lead astray by Banks? Based on what I've heard, neither lady was happy about being built as a prominent tag team only to be used as singles to get over the reigning champs on Raw & Smackdown. Since we haven't seen Naomi return to TV without Banks, and a spot with the Bloodline makes perfect sense, I'm guessing that there's still some bad blood. So this doesn't seem like a Sasha issue with which Naomi just went along.

I think Sasha is a solid star to have but kinda goes back to CM Punk, at the end of the day its just not worth the hassle.
I never got the appeal with Naomi. The highlight of her 10 year career was what? Winning the SD women's title for a couple of months? She was champ during a time when SD had Charlotte and Becky and was completely overlooked. I look at someone like that and say if they were never around, what really changes in the grand scheme of things? I don't think her being there or not being there really carries any weight to storylines or feuds.

Sasha gets over due to her looks. Nothing wrong with that. More power to her. She's average in the ring though. She'd fit just fine back in the WWE or in AEW doing programs and winning a belt here and there. She's a definite star. Naomi, however, is not a star. She can only survive in WWE by joining the Bloodline, or once again teaming with another fan favorite as a tag team. She can't survive in WWE as a singles wrestler in 2022. And they did her no favors with her silly neon/lights gimmick. If she went to AEW she'd be right there with lower tier wrestlers (even though she's a better wrestler than Sasha) doing nothing. Look at Athena. Pushed to ROH. Won a title yes, but wasn't going to beat Jade. Naomi wouldn't beat Jade either. Sasha could though.

I don’t know them so I can’t speak to their shared or separate motives for walking out. I hope they’re both enjoying what they’re doing right now. Personally, I don’t want to see either of them back just because I don’t find either of them to be interesting performers. That said, Sasha Banks is a star and Naomi is well-liked and well-connected so I can see why WWE would want them back.

There is a story going around that she basically expected them to give her a giant new contract to come back and that didn’t happen.
I mean I’m not surprised by that, sometimes you gotta ask yourself. Do I bring something to the table that no one else does and sadly the answer with her is no. She is talented but not talented enough that someone else can’t fill the void.

Her Wiki page says she's only been in one thing that isn't WWE related in her entire career, and even then it was only 2 episodes. She has a large social media following but that doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t mean that any of those people would actually go see her and that’s the problem. Social media has given people huge egos because they think they’re more popular than they really are. Charlie D’Amelio has almost as many followers on Instagram as Leonardo DiCaprio but 9/10 people you ask are only gonna know Leo and not know who the f*ck Charlie is because social media means nothing

She can be just as big as Bianca, Charlotte, Becky, Baylee, Liv, Rhonda, etc. The problem is that there's just one belt for each show. She can't always be in the top program.
