The WWE status of Sasha Banks and Naomi remains a mystery, though this hasn’t stopped them from wowing fans with non-wrestling appearances!
Although rumours throughout August indicated they would soon be returning to WWE, Sasha Banks and Naomi remain absent from WWE programming. The former Women’s Tag Team Champions walked out of the company in May, putting their status up in the air.
They’ve steadily made a number of appearances outwith the sports entertainment giant, the latest of which came during New York Fashion Week. WrestleOps posted to Twitter pictures of the pair, respectively, wowing those in attendance.

Sasha Banks and Naomi made their final televised appearance with WWE on the 13 May Friday Night SmackDown, retaining the Women’s Tag Team Championships over Natalya and Shayna Baszler. They were stripped of the titles a week later, ending their reign at 47 days.
Their return could now be imminent, particularly with Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque running creative. ‘The Game’ addressed Sasha Banks, in particular, during his pre-Clash At The Castle interview with BT Sport’s Ariel Helwani:
“Time will tell. Time will tell. In a lot of ways, communication breakdowns are terrible. There was a communication breakdown there, for whatever reason. Starting back up that communication, it’s not a difficult process, but it’s a process, and you have to go through the process. She’s an unbelievably talented young woman that can do just about anything she wants. It just comes down to, what does she want to do now with her life, her career, whatever that is.”
