Real reason why WWE has not fired Sasha Banks and Naomi despite their walk out and the controversy that has since developed. 

An unusual controversy ensued in WWE when Sasha Banks and Naomi left their titles at John Laurinaitis’ office before the 16th May edition of Monday Night Raw.

But, after such a big act, why has WWE not sacked the two superstars?

Meltzer claims WWE does not want to send their big names to AEW

Recently, Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer spoke about the Sasha Banks and Naomi controversy. Meltzer also pinned his assessment as to why both superstars are not fired yet.

Meltzer talked about the Charlotte Flair-Becky Lynch incident, and why the 15 women’s singles champion was not sacked by WWE. Dave Meltzer believes that WWE wants to avoid sending their big names to the rival promotion AEW. That is the reason why WWE has not fired Sasha Banks and Naomi for their actions.

Meltzer also mentioned that Naomi is Jimmy Uso’s wife, who is involved in a major storyline. He stated:

“Yeah, they would have fired Charlotte Flair for what she did on live TV screwing up the angle on purpose. But it’s, like, do you want to send her to AEW? No. And essentially nothing happened and they don’t want to send either of them to AEW. Then you’ve got the whole Naomi married to Jimmy Uso…It’s just a waiting game to see what happens next.”
