CM Punk, Dax Harwood, Big Damo, More React To Sasha Banks And Naomi Walking Out Of 5/16 WWE Raw
Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out of Monday’s WWE Raw after it was announced they would be competing in a six-pack challenge to determine the next contender for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship.
According to a statement released by WWE, “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.”
Taking to social media, many in the world of wrestling reacted to the news.

If you’d go back in time to stand up for yourself, you should stand up the workers now. https://t.co/Hh0zA7nsid
