The Boss Sasha Banks and Naomi were allegedly unhappy with their creative direction as they walked out of an episode of RAW in May. They were subsequently suspended without pay and stripped of their Women's Tag Team Championship.

However, with Vince McMahon retiring, there are rumors that they could return to television soon. Here's what Dave Meltzer said about the tandem's potential comeback:

"If everything goes the way it’s expected to go, they’ll be back. I don’t think that the deal was done. It’s been reported the deal was done – when I asked people in the company, it was basically, ‘Yeah that’s what it looks like is going to happen,''' noted Meltzer.

Meltzer also stated that the deal isn't 100% confirmed now, and nothing is etched in stone. However, they are expected to return in the near future.


2) Ciampa to get a big push with Triple H as creative head?

EXCLUSIVE: With former #USChampion @mikethemiz by his side, does @NXTCiampa have what it takes to dethrone @fightbobby for the #USTitle next Monday on #WWERaw? https://t.co/Ohty3i20Vf

Former NXT Champion Ciampa joined the main roster this April and joined forces with The Miz. Initially, it looked like there were no big plans for him under Vince McMahon. However, he could become a significant player on RAW with Triple H as the promotion's creative head. Here is what Cageside seats reported:

''Pretty obvious, especially after his win last night, but Fightful Select reports Tommaso Ciampa is likely to be a big beneficiary of Triple H taking over WWE creative.''

Meanwhile, Fightful Select noted that Ciampa's presentation would likely get an enhancement under Triple H's administration. He has been commended for his adaptability and doing well in his role. The Blackheart could also be getting his old NXT theme back moving forward.

WWE has announced that Ronda Rousey has been fined and suspended for her actions at SummerSlam. After losing her match against Liv Morgan due to a refereeing oversight, The Rowdy One attacked not only Morgan but also the match official.

Dave Meltzer has stated that she is likely to return before the Clash at the Castle event.

"Not that long. She's booked on the Cardiff show, so she's going to be unsuspended at least before [that]. I don't know when she comes back, she'll be out for I don't know how long, but it's not going to be a month, put it that way, because she's got to be back for the pay-per-view show," highlighted Meltzer.

Ronda Rousey put the SmackDown Women's Champion in a submission hold, and Morgan tapped out. However, the referee did not see it, and Rousey lost the bout due to her shoulders being down. She later took her frustrations out on the WWE match official who had made the major error, getting herself suspended in the process.
