According to a report from Pwinsider, the main event of tonight’s episode of RAW was changed at the last minute after Sasha Banks and Naomi legitimately walked out of the TV tapings.
The word making the rounds backstage at RAW is that Sasha Banks wasn’t happy with the creative direction for the original main event, which would have seen a RAW Six Pack Challenge to determine Bianca Belair’s next challenger at the WWE Hell in A Cell pay-per-view event.
According to sources, Banks demanded a meeting with Vince McMahon and the belief is that McMahon refused to change the direction of the match. Additionally, Banks refused to budge from her demands and left the TV tapings.
When Banks made the decision to leave, Naomi also exited the arena in Norfolk, Virginia with her. They both left in the same rental car. It’s worth noting that both women were booked for the original main event.
Just prior to RAW going live, WWE shot several backstage segments with Adam Pearce and Becky Lynch, which lead to Asuka vs. Lynch main eventing the show. In one of the segments, Lynch referenced Naomi and Banks leaving the arena.
