Vince McMahon is never one to be bullied.
Last night we witnessed yet another walk out from WWE talent. Sasha Banks and Naomi are the latest talents to walkout on a contracted taping. WWE released a statement last night condemning the pair for their actions. We have learned in the meantime that Vince McMahon was one of the pivotal parts of this drama.
Dave Meltzer noted on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio that there was much more to the story. The duo went to Vince McMahon himself to air their grievances. Whatever was upsetting Sasha and Naomi was taken to Mr. McMahon. McMahon didn’t back down. When he didn’t agree with the ideas presented by the team, they decided to walk out.
“A lot of this is just speculative right now. They left. It’s not a work. As far as what happens next, they sent out a release and didn’t say anything. Didn’t indicate anything about what was going on other than, clearly, management was upset.”
“There was a situation, I do know that whatever it was, they went to Vince and Vince did not back down, which they did not put in the release. Vince did not agree to what they were asking and that led to them walking out during the show, which is kind of a no-no, but again, look, if the Kota Ibushi stuff can be smoothed over… I’ve seen a lot worse get smoothed over.”
