Sasha Banks & Naomi suspended by WWE and stripped of titles after walkout

Sasha Banks and Naomi have been suspended indefinitely by WWE and stripped of the Women’s Tag Team Championship.

Banks and Naomi have been the talk of the wrestling world since Monday’s episode of Raw after walking out on the show.

The pair refused to take part in their scheduled main event match, and after discussions with Vince McMahon, decided to leave the building.

He also said that a tournament will take place to crown new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, suggesting the pair have been stripped of their belts.
