Sasha Banks is still very much a part of WWE despite the incident. Her profile is still up on the official WWE website instead of the alumni section. However, WWE has removed Sasha Banks and Naomi merchandise from their shop, which has raised eyebrows about the current situation.
What led to Sasha Banks and Naomi walking out?
Sasha Banks and Naomi were supposed to be two participants in RAW's six-pack challenge alongside Becky Lynch, Asuka, Doudrop, and Nikki A.S.H. a few weeks ago. However, their walkout forced WWE to come up with new plans.
According to a report from Fightful, Naomi was supposed to win the challenge and would have faced RAW Women's Champion Bianca Belair for the title at Hell in a Cell.
However, the two women raised concerns about not interacting in the match despite being teammates. They even pitched alternatives to WWE creative, but their ideas were rejected.

While both performers are still very much part of the company, there is no clarity on what is next for them. There is a stalemate between the two parties, with WWE opting to crown new tag team champions instead of allowing the situation to cool down.
