WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has weighed in on the Sasha Banks and Naomi situation.
Naomi was originally scheduled to win the 6-Pack Challenge on last week’s RAW but Banks and Naomi walked out of the building at the start of the show. RAW was supposed to have ended with Naomi and Banks celebrating Naomi’s win where she would be facing RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. They’ve since been stripped of the Women’s Tag Team Titles and suspended.
The WWE Hall of Famer thinks the situation could have been handled differently. He said,
“I just think the situation should have been handled differently. If they wanted to go out and get the job done, and then walk out and say, ‘Hey look, whatever you’ve got planned for us going forward we’ve got to talk about it,’ or, ‘We’re not in for it,’ I get that. But to up and leave the show, for anybody to support that … it’s setting a precedent as far as guys wanting to walk out and leave the show.”
“I just think this whole situation could have been avoided in front of the media. I do think all of this being in the media is just blowing it up to a proportion to where we’re looking at it like, we’re like hanging on the edge, wondering what’s going to happen next.”
Booker T also discussed what he thinks is next for both stars:
“To be thinking about these guys from a perspective now where they can just jump up and just do anything because AEW is over there, and they can run over there and get a job, well AEW ain’t hiring everybody, okay,” he said. “I’m not saying that they won’t hire Naomi and Sasha, but I’m just saying they’re not hiring everybody. There’s a lot of people out there right now in this wrestling world that don’t have jobs, and AEW easily could have signed them.”
