Naomi gives insight into her mindset.
Sasha Banks and Naomi were indefinitely suspended by WWE on May 20 after walking out on the May 16 episode of WWE Raw. That evening, they were advertised to compete in a six-woman match to determine the next challenger for Bianca Belair’s WWE Raw Women's Championship.
In a statement released by WWE, Banks and Naomi were called unprofessional and the statement alleged that they were uncomfortable working with their scheduled opponents that evening.
On July 7, there was a report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider that the pair had been removed from WWE's internal roster. Raj Giri reported on June 15 that Banks had been released, but there was no confirmation from WWE or Banks that was the case.
Naomi, who has continued to post on social media following her suspension, shared a social media post giving some insight into her mindset.
BUILT, not bought. EARNED, not given. HUSTLED, not handed. RARE, not average!

Sasha Banks has yet to post publicly in any regard since the incident in May and neither woman has commented publicly on the walkout or suspension.
Following Johnson's report, our premium Fightful Select service provided an update revealing that Banks and Naomi were removed from the internal roster “weeks ago,” however there is yet to be an edict to remove the women from the official WWE roster on WWE’s website.
It was reported by PWInsider Thursday, July 7, that Naomi and Sasha Banks were removed from the internal WWE roster. Fightful exhausted their resources to get an update on the situation. However, nothing major has changed.
Fightful has learned that Sasha Banks and Naomi disappeared from other internal rosters as far back as "weeks" ago. However, nobody that we've heard from on WWE's digital end has been prompted to remove them from the official website's roster.
We continue to monitor and report all updates to this situation.
Outside of the ring, Naomi is set to appear on the current season of Kevin Hart's Celebrity Game Face. Learn more here.
