The AEW Women’s World Champion comments on Sasha Banks and Naomi’s walkouts from the WWE.
Earlier this year Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out on a WWE RAW taping and were immediately suspended indefinitely, which they have not returned to as of now. Speaking to Adrian Hernandez on KXST 1140 The Bet Las Vegas, AEW Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa gave her thoughts on the situation.
“One of my best friends said it best, he just sent me a text message, ‘When something doesn’t fit you anymore, it doesn’t fit anymore.’ That’s it, that’s what happened. She made that statement and it paid off for her. For some people, it wouldn’t pay off because they don’t have that status. She has that status where, she could have gone anywhere. For some people, that’s not an option. Let’s be real about that, too. When you have that option and you can make that statement, go for it, because it’s going to set the tone for other people who are like, ‘I don’t have the status, but she did it, I can do it too’ or they feel more comfortable. It paid off for them and she could have gone any other way, she could have gone to acting because she was already doing that or whatever else because she’s at that point in her career where she has options. Some people don’t have any options. I hope with that, I know a lot of people in that company they opened their eyes. She set the tone for other women and other guys, ‘this is not right,'”
