One thing I will say is I appreciate that statement backs Nikki and Doudrop as they’re both obviously competent workers.

Well, this is a fun story. There's definitely a level of schadenfreude here. Like, imagine Naomi walking out causes Jimmy to follow so Jey goes too then Roman is like f*** it I'm going with my family too. I don't think for a second that will actually happen but it would be absolutely wild. It's kind of a win-win to me because WWE should be called out on its shit, but I also can't really stand Sasha.

This is why I said WWE has to be careful with going all scorched earth here because if Naomi is willing to walk out with her who knows what the next domino to fall is and then it just keeps snowballing from there. There’s no world in which this causes Roman to walk. I highly doubt The Uso’s go, either.

So the fallout here can be:
Jimmy Uso - He gets canned because he doesn't have his DD Bayley - Bury her out on the way Bloodline - I guess they fall apart right before Roman takes his 10 week hiatus Disney - No more references because they think it went to Sasha's head Cameron - Brought back to be squashed

This is a situation where I don't think either woman may come back... they seem like they're very much done with WWE's bullshit
If so, and if they get granted a release/get out of their deals... they become immediate huge free agents if they want to continue pursuing wrestling. Banks becomes the type of person AEW would back up a brinks truck for.
But this is an ongoing situation... but it's one that doesn't seem like a fluke by any means. We'd been saying this for months, when was someone gonna get sick of WWE's bullshit and just walk? We got the answer today it seems... shocked it included Naomi, not as shocked it was Sasha, but here we are... and it ain't pretty.

Sasha unfollowed and/or blocked her.

The only thing that doesn't smell right to me is given the seriousness of the situation, I thought WWE would've used Sasha and Naomi's real names.
But on the 98% chance that this is real, it's definitely the most interesting story they've had in a long time.

Remember they buried Austin by daring to call him "Steve WILLIAMS".

This reads like “Straw that broke the camel’s back” to me, because there is just so little of this specific scenario that reads at surface level as being something that is worth this kind of reaction.
Like, apparently all that is known about the “bad creative” here is that Naomi, one of the tag champions, was going to win a singles title shot against Bianca Belair, and it might have been used to plant seeds for the team breakup (although that is never outright said). I’m not even going to consider WWE’s statement, they could be making up anything to try and control the story.

If Freddy Prince needed someone to try and build his upstart attempt at a SAG wrestling company around Sasha is nowhere near the worst choice if things keep going south with her and WWE.

If Gene and this show were both alive today. ABSOLUTE tear down of these two no doubt about it.

It does seem wild that WWE would put out a statement like that.
But, without taking sides, it seems like to Vince the biggest slap in the face in his eyes is walking out the night of a show.
Like they absolutely buried Steve Austin, the biggest star in the industry, for it on Raw. So I'm not actually too surprised by the statement.

I can see both sides here. If I was Vince I obviously wouldn't be happy. At the end of the day you're an actor and getting paid to follow the script. You weren't hired as a writer/booker. On the other hand, I'm always going to have respect for anyone who has the balls to go to their billionaire boss and be like I'm good fam, peace out. I was just thinking the other day during the MJF/AEW contract news that he would be a hero to me if one day he was just like okay, I'm not being paid what I'm worth, I'm going home. This independent contractor stuff would never hold up in court. Any wrestler could walk out of WWE and AEW today if they really wanted to no matter what date it says on their contract.
