Sasha will be fine no matter what. Naomi is going to be glowing in Dark.

Naomi's been around a decade and is married to an Uso & is Roman & The Rock's cousin.

She will be fine

FTR has to keep pretending that they made the right decision, because it's clear to everyone else that they took less money to be a mid team in AEW.
They get paid a lot of money, can work anywhere they want, any time they want, and have creative control.

I don't see why they'd regret leaving.

Her best quality is that she’s dope as fukk in ring, but she can’t cut a convincing promo to save her life and she’s supposed to be the next Rock?
Her promos are fine and people outside of WWE keep having her on their shows to interview her and want to hang out with her, so she's doing something right.
Ion know why ppl want Naomi n Sasha to com


Man stfu and take Khan balls out ya mouth. CM Punk a hypocrite. He won’t even stick up for ppl in his own company. Why he ain’t say shyt bout Swole’s concerns? He try to shyt in Ryder when he was quiet as a mouse about any AEW front office criticism. So fukk u and that short order cook muthafukka
Why would he stick up for Swole?

Was he even in AEW when she left?

How long were they even in the same locker room?

And Swole's argument was undermined by the fact that she's terrible at what she does.

She got more of a push in AEW than she would have in any major promotion in history

Sasha & Naomi are Hall of Famers, who are highly regarded by everybody they work with.

Apples & Oranges.
it's not WWE set up her appearances on all that shyt you named aside from Star Wars lol, they ask for them to send a wrestler not Sasha Banks specifically, and they pick someone, Prichard said that's how the process with most of that shyt works on his podcast a million times.

If you were to do a man on a street and walk around asking people if they watched WWE and if they knew who Sasha Banks were, I absolutely guarantee you that you wouldn't get a single person that said no to watching WWE and yes to knowing who Sasha Banks was. On the other hand, back when The Rock was about to transition to hollywood, you could do the same and a lot of people would not be fans of wrestling but know who he was because he was on TV all of the time.
How do you know?

Half the woman's family are celebrities, she's got all kinds of connections in the music industry & Hollywood if that's what she wants to do with her life.

The woman was the 3rd most tweeted about female athlete in America in 2021 ahead of Serena Williams, the GOAT female athlete.



She was the honorary starter at the Daytona 500

She's beeen covered in Ebony, Rolling Stone, and won an ESPY from ESPN, but yes, let's pretend nobody knows who she is but wrasslin fans.

Remember how Cody left AEW and it turned out to be a good divorce for everyone? Cody can do his sports entertainment shyt in WWE and AEW doesn't have a dude coming out killing the crowd with his "face" act that is a complete heel act for that audience.

It's not the same to the details, but in general, this is another divorce that needs to happen. It's clear that Sasha has some star power and enough connections around TV to do something outside of wrestling and excel. She doesn't need to be The Rock, making fifty million a year on movies, to be a success. WWE doesn't need Sasha either as they will only book one black person strong at a time, and that person is Bianca Belair right now. Why have this unhappy marriage? They both need to split.

What Sasha doesn't need is to be attached to the sinking ship that is AEW. If she wants to do Impact shots while getting a TV career going, fine, but she's probably too good for the level of the American pro wrestling scene in 2022.

Sasha and Naomi need to take a look at Mia Yim. She debuted in Impact and she already mixing it up and being booked good.

And WWE has proven time and time again they don't give a shyt about tag team wrestling. Quite a few of the ex-WWE people have said they make more money after leaving WWE.

I mean, Impact is somehow stable and will probably book her better than AEW. AEW is at the mercy of this merger.
Impact drew 125,000 viewers to rank #124 overall on cable TV and 116 in the 18-49 demo for it's May 12 episode.

AEW averages well beyond double the views for it's Dark episodes on YouTube lmao.

Most AEW highlight clip videos average significantly more than 125K views.

No one gives a shyt about Impact.

Pat McAfee’s face said it all..



NOW that I can post. My opinion is split…on one hand I understand how Vince and company feel disrespected when one of your top wrestlers just leaves when the show is already live. You just don’t do that…

But on the other hand…Vinny Mac MADE this culture. Every wrestler that has worked for him have said in interviews, books, etc that Vince ALWAYS tells them to stand up for themselves if they feel they are worth it and don’t take “No” for an answer. Through out the years constant top wrestlers have stood up for themselves and used their stroke to get what they want.

From HBK, to HHH, to Orton, Brock, Hogan, Bret, etc…

Now granted when it comes to Austin, Vince did go out the way to shyt on him publicly when he walked out. And Austin has went on recorded by regretting it. However in hindsight, he had EVERY reason to feel the way he felt. Why the hell you gonna have Steve Austin, one of if not THE biggest superstars of your company, lose to a rookie Brock Lesnar on a random episode of Raw. That makes NO damn sense..and damn right disrespectful.

Fast forward and Vince is in this position again. Now with one of their biggest woman wrestlers of all time. She literally told Vince that the booking/creative made no sense for a superstar of her caliber and she needs to be respected as such. What she did was no different then what any top wrestler of the past has done. And she chucked up the 2 fingers and left..

Now…how Vinny Mac and company are doing all this is just petty. And it makes them just look dumb as hell and lowkey racist on how they going out the WAY to diminish their characters when those women have done EVERYTHING you have asked them to do.

But when all they do is ask from them to make their booking make sense and they DONT do it. They shyt on them…

This isn’t gonna go well with that company..

Yea all the legends talk about had they have had to tell Vince to fukk off with some of the stupid idea he tried to get them to do. But now and especially with women and black women Vince is completely above his talent telling him anything.

Sucks for Pat cause you know he wants to speak speak but they gave him a huge moment at MANIA even tho he had to embarrassingly sell and lose to Cokeboy. but as long as they made your childhood dream come true... blah blah blah shut up and know your place.

Yeah Naomis a grown woman and all that, but if she wasn't in this tag and didn't have Sasha in her ear, do you really think that the Bookers come up to her and say she's losing to Bianca in a PPV title match, and she walks out over her character being minimized?
yall keep overlooking the fact that they walked out for being yelled at and disrespected, they didn't just walk out because their ideas were respectfully declined
